Q

True or false:

The total number of electrons in an atom is always the same as the number of protons in the nucleus. This means atoms have no overall electrical charge.

A

True.

Q

How do you work out the number of shells with the period number?

A

Moving across each period, you can see that the number of shells is the same as the period number. For example if it is the 1st period then it will only have 1 shell or if it is the 4th periods it will have 4 shells.

Q

What happens when there is:

1) A loss of electrons?
2) A gain of electrons?

A

1) In a reaction with a non-metal, each alkali metal atom loses its outer electron and becomes an ion with a single positive charge, +1.
2) In a reaction with a metal, each halogen atom gains an outer electron and becomes an ion with a single negative charge, -1.

16
Q

Is an atom more or less reactive with a full outer shell? Why?

A

Less

Because there is no room for reactions to take place if the outer shell is full.

17
Q

If oxygen gains 2 electrons through ionic bonding will it be (2-) or (2+)? Why?

A

(2-) because electrons have a negative charge.

18
Q

What does a full outer shell make the atom more?

A

Stable

19
Q

What is the general formula for saturated compound?

A

CnH2n+2

25
Q

What are you finding out the number of if you take away the atomic number away from the atomic mass?

A

The number of neutrons.

26
Q

Is an atom more or less reactive with a full outer shell? Why?

33
Q

What is the electrical charge of a proton?

A

Positive

34
Q

What are isotopes?

A

Atoms with the same element with different numbers of neutrons

35
Q

What is a atom of the same element with different numbers of neutrons called

A

Isotope

36
Q

True or false?

You can have 8 electrons on the first shell

A

False
