Question | Answer |
---|---|
How are Elements arranged in the Periodic Table? | By atomic number (increasing as go along the table) |
Where are metals and non-metals found on the Periodic Table? | Metals on left of zig-zag line, non-metals on right. |
What does the group number indicate about the elements in that group? | The number of outer electrons (all elements in the same group have same no. of outer electrons) |
Using the data booklet, what is the electron arrangement of Sodium? | From page 6: 2,8,1 (2 electrons in first shell, 1 outer electron) |
Apart from the same outer electrons, what else do elements in the same group have in common? | Chemical properties (due to the number of outer electrons) ie reactivity. |
Where are protons and neutrons found in the atom? | In the nucleus a the centre of the atom |
Where are electrons found in the atom? | Orbiting the nucleus |
What charge and mass do protons have? | Positive charge and mass of 1 a.m.u |
What charge and mass do neutrons have? | Neutral charge and mass of 1a.m.u |
What charge and mass do electrons have? | Negative charge and mass of 0a.m.u |
By looking at a Periodic Table, how can the number of protons be identified? | It’s the same as the Atomic Number. |
In a neutral atom, how can the number of electrons be identified? | It’s the same as the number of protons (same as the atomic number). |
How can the mass number be calculated? | Mass number= No. of protons + no.of neutrons |
What is the definition of isotopes? | Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers (same number of protons but different number of neutrons). |
What is the relative atomic mass? | The mass of each element calculated using the mass and proportion of each isotope present. |
