Study Notes

Hydrogen Atom

Hydrogen atom nucleus contains one particle.
The diagram shows an atom of hydrogen.

Chemical Symbol for Hydrogen

The chemical symbol for hydrogen is H.

Potassium and Water Reaction

Potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen.
One product of this reaction is potassium hydroxide.

Elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table

Elements in Group 1 of the Periodic Table include lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).
These elements have similar properties and react in similar ways.
The chemical symbol for potassium is K.

Identifying Elements

Lithium (Li), water (H₂O), and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) are substances, lithium is an element.
To be an element, a substance must consist of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down by a chemical reaction.

Boron Atom Structure

Boron atom includes two types of particles Y and Z.
Particle Y is a proton, and particle Z is an electron.
Boron is in Group 13 and Period 2 of the Periodic Table.

Measuring Temperature

Thermometer A shows a temperature of 0°C.
Thermometer B shows a temperature of -10°C.
Thermometer C shows a temperature of 30°C.

Scientific Evidence

Scientific statements require evidence to support them.

Using Indicators for Identification

An indicator can be used to determine if substances are acids or alkalis.
Example indicator is Litmus paper or universal indicator used to determine the pH of substances.
If the liquids are acids the indicator will change colour.

pH Value for Aluminium Sulfate

The pH value of the aluminium sulfate solution is around 3. This is because the indicator used (A and B) shows red as a result and red falls in the acid portion of the pH scale.

Plant Growth and Light

Plants in different light conditions show differences in growth.
Plant A (in light) shows better growth compared to plant B (in dark).
Light is required for photosynthesis; hence, the growth in light is more pronounced than in the dark.
Light is a form of energy.
The Sun is a light source.
Light is not the same as heat.
The moon is not a light source.

Neutral Soil pH

Neutral soil has a pH of 7.
