1
Q

explain how the electron structure of an atom determines its properties

A
  • how readily they accept or donate an electron,
  • determines how they bond with nearby elements(strength and physical characteristics) and
  • how many free electrons they donate (conductivity)

Q

Explain how the chemical properties of an element help to determine its position in the periodic table.

A

by the atomic number as they are in ascending order,

  • the reactivity decreases as you go from left to right,
  • ionisation increases from left to right
