| 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. |
