4.1.2𫧠Flashcards
What are the elements of the periodic table arranged in?
In order of atomic number.
What do groups show?
Elements with similar properties, that are in columns.
What do elements in he same group have?
The same amount of electrons on the outer shells.
How did john newland the periodic table?
He ordered his table in order of atomic weight.
He realised properties occurred every 8th element. 9octaves)
How did Mendeleev arrange the periodic table?
He ordered the periodic table by order of atomic mass, but not always - in some places he changed the order based on atomic weights.
What did Mendeleev do that no one else had done before?
He left gaps for elements that he thought had not been discovered before.
He also predicted the properties of future elements such as aluminium.
What did the knowledge of isotopes explain?
It made it possible to explain why the order based on atomic weights was not always correct.
What happened with the discoveries of the subatomic particles and the periodic table?
It allowed the periodic table to be ordered in atomic number, when this was done all elements were placed in the correct groups.
What do metals react to form?
Positive ions (lose electrons)
How many elements are metals?
Majority
Where are the metals found on the periodic table?
Found too the left and towards the bottom of the periodic table.
What do non metals form when they react?
They form negative ions.
Where are non metals found on the periodic table?
Towards the right and top of the periodic table.
What are the names of the group 1 metals?
Alkali metals
What are the properties / characteristics of group 1?
Low density, soft, very reactive with oxygen and water.
