Q

Why are atoms neutral ?

A

This is because they contain the same or equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. So their charge cancel out each other

23
Q

What is the periodic table

A

It is a table of elements arranged in their order of increase proton number

24
Q

The periodic table consists of rows and columns
Rows are called….
Columns are called…

A

Periods

Groups

25
The periodic table consists of .... groups
8
26
(Group 1 to 3 )The left side of the periodic table contains .....
Metals
26
(Group 1 to 3 )The left side of the periodic table contains .....
Metals
27
The right side (group 4 to 8) contains ...
Non metals
28
The block of elements between group 2 and threw are called ...
Transition elements/metals
29
Group 1 are
Alkali metals
30
Groups 2 are
Alkali earth metals
31
Groups 3 has no name but
rather soft, silvery-white metals, although their hardness increases with atomic number.
32
Group 4 are
metalloids
33
Group 3 5 and 6 have no name
34
Group 6 elements are called...
chalcogens
35
All .... and other 3 elements , namely .......,........ and ...... are diatoms
Halogens Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen
36
The groups/columns, tell us the number of electrons in the outer most shell also called ... Electrons,last shell Elements of the same group have equal valency
Valency
37
........... , tell us the number of shells of an element | Have some number of shells but different groups
Period/rows
38
What is electronic configuration?
It is the arrangement of electron in shells of an element | 2.8.8
39
What are isotopes ?
These are atoms with the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
40
There are three types of carbon isotopes ,namely....
Carbon 12...6 neurons Carbon 13...7 neutrons Carbon 14....8 neutrons
41
What is the significance of the electronic configuration of atoms ?
The electronic configuration of an atom is very important because the number of electrons in the other most shell (valency), determines the chemical property of an element including how it joins/bonds with other elements
42
Group 8 gases are non reactive or .... Their shells are thought of as being full Shells,in the outer most shell Expect for helium
Inert
43
Ionic bonding is ...
It occurs between non metals and metals
44
Covalent bonding involves ....
the sharing of electron in non metals Nh3 CH4 HF
45
Metallic bonding occurs in ...
Metals only aluminium...magnetism... sodium....
