26
Who described atoms as solid spheres that cannot be broken down in the early 19th century?
John Dalton
27
What name was given to an atom described as a ball of positive charge with negative electrons studded into it?
The plum pudding model
28
What name was given to Ernest Rutherford's description of the structure of the atom?
The nuclear model
29
Who proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells?
Niels Bohr
30
In what order were the particles discovered.
Electron, proton, neutron
31
Who discovered the neutron in the 1930's?
James Chadwick
32
How many different atoms are there?
118
33
How are atoms arranged in the periodic table?
In order of their atomic number
34
Where are metals found in the periodic table?
On the left of the periodic table
35
Where are non-metals found in the periodic table?
On the top-right of the periodic table
36
What are the veritical columns called?
Groups
37
What are the horizontal rows called?
Periods
38
What does the group number tell you?
The number of electrons in the outer shell
39
What does the period number tell you?
The number of electron shells
40
Why do elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties?
Because they have the same number of electrons in their outer shell
41
Why were early periodic tables incomplete?
Not all elements had been discovered
42
How did John Newlands arrange the then known elements?
atomic weight
43
Why did Newlands periodic table not work?
It mixed up metals and non-metals in the same group. He left no gaps for elements that would be discovered later.
44
How did Dimitri Mendeleev overcome some of the problems of the early periodic tables?
He left gaps for unknown elements and predicted what their properties would be. In some places he changed the order based on atomic weights.
45
How are the elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
In order of their atomic (proton) number
46
What is another name for the group 1 elements?
The alkali metals
47
How many electrons do group 1 elements have in their highest energy level?
1
48
Why are group 1 elements stored under oil?
To prevent them from reacting with oxygen or water
49
What is the trend in reactivity as you go down group 1?
Reactivity increases down the group
50
alkali metal + water →
metal hydroxide + hydrogen
51
What is another name for the group 7 elements?
The halogens
52
What is the trend in reactivity as you go down group 7?
Reactivity decreases down the group
53
What is the trend in melting point and boiling point as you go down group 7?
The melting and boiling points increase going down Group 7
54
What is another name for the group 0 elements?
The noble gases
55
Why are the group 0 elements very unreactive?
This is because they all have a full highest energy level, giving them a stable arrangement of electrons.
56
What is the law of conservation of mass?
Atoms are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, they are just rearranged.
57
What do the small numbers in a chemical formula represent?
The number of a certain element in a substance
58
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen?
H2
59
What is the chemical formula for oxygen?
O2
60
What is the chemical formula for water?
H2O
61
What is the chemical formula for methane?
CH4
62
What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide?
CO2
63
What is the chemical formula for Chlorine?
Cl2
64
What is a symbol equation?
It shows you what happens in a chemical reaction using chemical symbols and formulae
65
Why does a symbol equation need to be balanced?
There must always be the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation
66
Which numbers must you not change when balancing?
You cannot change the little numbers (the formulae)
67
On which side of the equation are the reactants?
left-hand side
68
On which side of the equation are the products?
right-hand side
