Q

Which number on an element is the atomic number?

A

The bottom number

23
Q

Which number on an element is the mass number?

A

The top number

24
Q

Number of protons = Number of electrons

True or False?

A

True

25
Q

Why is the period number on a periodic table useful when making atoms structure?

A

It is the number of shells needed

26
Q

Why is the group number on a periodic table useful when making atoms structure?

A

The number of electrons on the outer shell

27
Q

If an atom is in group 0 how many electrons would go on the outer shell?

A

We would say group 8 instead so the maximum would be 8.

28
Q

How are Ions formed?

A

When a metal reacts with a non-metal to create a compound

29
Q

What is an Ion?

A

It’s the name we give to an atom that either a positive or negative charge.

30
Q

How do you get a positive charge?

A

You will need more protons than electrons.

31
Q

How do you get a negative charge?

A

You will need more electrons than protons.

32
Q

How do you work out the number of neutrons?

A

mass number - atomic number

33
Q

Which number on an element is the mass number?

A

the top number

34
Q

How do you work out the mass number?

A

number of protons + number of neutrons

35
Q

Which number on an element is the atomic number?

A

the bottom number

36
Q

True or False?

Number of protons = Number of electrons

A

true

this means that atoms have no charge, they are neutral.

37
Q

What do the period numbers on the periodic table mean when working out the electronic structure?

A

It’s the number of shells around the nucleus.

38
Q

What do the group numbers on the periodic table mean when working out the electronic structure?

A

The number of electrons on the outer shell.

39
Q

_____ form negative ions.

A

non-metals

40
Q

What are negative ions called?

A

anions

41
Q

What are positive ions called?

A

cations

42
Q

How do atoms form negative ions?

A

They gain electrons

43
Q

Do all metals conduct electricity?

A

Yes

44
Q

How do Alkali metals react with water?

A

They dissolve and produce an alkali which makes the water turn purple and they fizz because they are making hydrogen.

45
Q

What are some properties of Alkali metals?

A 
Soft
react with oxygen quickly
shiny when freshly cut
low melting point for a metal
get more reactive down the group
burn with different coloured flames
form +1 ions
46
Q

When group 1 metals react with water what do they produce?

A 
an alkali (metal hydroxide)
hydrogen gas
47
Q

When group 1 metals react with oxygen what do they make?

A

metal oxide

48
Q

What did Mendeleev do?

A

He arranged the elements known at the time in order of the relative atomic mass but he also noticed gaps in the table and predicted elements to fill them which he called eka-boron, eka-aluminium, eka-silicon, and eka-manganese.

49
Q

What colour is chlorine?

A

pale green

50
Q

What colour is bromine?

A

orange

51
Q

what colour is iodine?

A

brown

52
Q

what colour is fluorine?

A

pale yellow gas

53
Q

what does displacement?

A

when a more reactive element swaps with a less reactive element.

54
Q

What is the most reactive element in group 7 elements?

A

Iodine
