Q

What is the Mass number?

A

The mass of the atom. It is equal to the atomic number plus the number of neutrons.

17
Q

What are the characteristics of the Alkali metals?

A
  • Soft
  • 1 electron in the outer shell
  • react quickly with water, oxygen and chlorine
  • form +1 ions
  • more reactive as you go down list
18
Q

Alkali metal + Water = ?

A

Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

19
Q

Alkali metals + Oxygen = ?

A

Metal Oxide

20
Q

What are the characteristics of the halogens?

A
  • 7 electrons in outer shell
  • form molecules with 2 atoms joined by a covalent bond
  • less reactive as you go down list
  • form -1 ions when reacted with metals
21
Q

What are the characteristics of the noble gases?

A
  • Full outer shell
  • unreactive
  • boiling point decreases as you go down the list
22
Q

What are the characteristics of the transition metals?

A
  • Hard and strong eg iron
  • high melting points except for mercury
  • can form ions with different positive charges
  • form coloured compounds
  • can be used as a catalyst
23
Q

What type of ions do metals form and why?

A

Positive because they lose electrons to gain a full outer shell

24
Q

What is an ion?

A

A charged atom. Occurs when electrons are lost or gained.

25
Q

What is an isotope?

A

Isotopes are atoms that are the same element but with different numbers of neutrons
