Chemical Concepts and Reactions

This video tutorial covers the first topic of GCSE chemistry, focusing on atomic structure, isotopes, ions, compounds, mixtures, balancing equations, separation methods, the history of atomic models, and properties of element groups. It provides concise explanations and study tips to aid in revision.

How can you determine the number of neutrons in an atom?

• Divide the mass number by the atomic number

• Multiply the atomic number by the mass number

• Add the atomic number to the mass number

• Subtract the atomic number from the mass number

What is an isotope?

• An atom with a different number of electrons
