what do we call group 1 metals
alkali metals
what is the trend in reactivity in group 1 ?
reactivity increases as you go down cos the atoms become larger.
what do we call the non metals in group 7 ?
halogens
how does the reactivity change as you go down group 7 ?
The reactivity of Group 7 elements decreases down the group. … The electrons in the outer shell move further away from the nucleus as we go down
what do we call group 0 atoms ?
noble gases
Facts ab group 0 atoms
They are all monatomic colourless non-flammable gases. full outer shells v low melting and boiling points.
how were the elements arranged john newlands ?
table in order of relative atomic mass + put the similar elements into vertical columns (groups.)
how did mendeleev arranged the elements ?
in rows by increasing atomic mass.
why did mendeleev leave gaps in the periodic table ?
for any undiscovered elements
how are elements arranged on the modern periodic table
in order of increasing atomic number.
horizontal rows = periods
vertical columns = groups.
Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
