Made for the WJEC GCSE Chemistry course (Separate science, but some topics will probably overlap with double award)
| Front | What are the general properties of transition metals? |
| Back | -High melting points-Form coloured compounds-Have the ability to form ions with different charges-Most are malleable and ductile-Good conductors of both heat and electricity due to their delocalised electrons-Hard-Less reactive than alkali metals (group 1 metals) |
| Front | How does electrolysis work? |
| Back | -When a metallic compound is melted or dissolved, the ions are free to move within the liquid or solution-Passing a current through molten liquids or solutions means that the solution can be broken down into elements-During electrolysis the substance being broken down is the electrolyte |
| Front | What are the properties and uses of copper? |
| Back | -Good conductor of electricity and heat-Soft, easily bent and shaped (malleable)-Resistant to corrosion (very unreactive)-Used in electrical wiring, gas and water pipes, and plumbing in houses as copper doesn't react with water |
