The elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of increasing…
Atomic number
Elements in the same group in the periodic table have the same number of
Electrons in their outer shell
Which particles have the same mass?
Protons and neutrons
What does the atomic number tell you and where is it located?
The number of protons and electrons and it is below the element
What does the mass number tell you and where is it located?
The total number of protons and neutrons and it is above the element
How do you find the number of neutrons in an element
Mass number - atomic number =
What is an isotope?
atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
Where are protons found?
The nucleus
Where are neutrons found?
The nucleus
Where are electrons found?
The shells
Two components of the structure of a metal
- A lattice of positive metal ions
2. A ‘sea’ of delocalised electrons
Describe metallic bonding
electrostatic attraction between the positive metal ions and the negative delocalized electrons
