1.3 A (2)
1.4 B (2)
1.5 D (2)
[10]
QUESTION 2
2.1
2.1.1 Oak (chip).
The density of oak is less than the density of water. (2)
2.1.2 Aluminium.
Aluminium has a lower density than lead.
For a constant mass, the density is inversely proportional to the
volume. (3)
2.2
2.2.1 Pure Substance (1)
2.2.2 4Al + 3O2 2Al2O3 LHS
RHS
Balancing (3)
2.3
2.3.1 Physical (change) (1)
2.3.2 Decomposition
A single reactant is broken down into multiple products. (2)
2.4 Mass of reactants = 2(14 + 1x3) + 2x1 + 32 +16x4
= 132 g.mol-1
Mass of products = 2(14 + 4x1) + 32 + 16x4
= 132 g.mol-1
Mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products. Therefore mass is
conserved. (3)

QUESTION 3
3.1 Melting. (1)
3.2 Thermometer (1)
3.3 Crushed ice allows for easier transfer of heat energy from one particle to the
next.
or
Use crushed ice because it is easier for the thermometer to measure the
temperature (2)
3.4 The temperature of the substance increases.
The average kinetic energy of the particles increases.
Particles move faster. (3)
3.5 The water has reached room temperature and there isn’t an external heat
source. (2)
3.6 Liquid. (1)
[10]
QUESTION 4
4.1
4.1.1 A larger atomic radius results in lower first ionisation energy. (1)
4.1.2 As you move from left to right across a period the effective nuclear
charge increase
The force of attraction between the nucleus and the outer orbital
increases.
or
Cl has a smaller atomic radius than Mg (2)
4.1.3 Decrease
As you move down the group the atomic radius increases.
The force of attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons
decreases. (3)
4.1.4 The outermost energy level is full in noble gases resulting in a
stable electronic configuration
or
Noble gases have the smallest atomic radius for the elements in
the same period. (2)
4.2 The energy released when an electron is attached to an atom or molecule to
form a negative ion. (2)
