metals

Question 1

where are metals on the periodic table?

Answer 1

left and centre of the periodic table

Question 2

where do we find the non metals on the periodic table?

Answer 2

on the right hand side

Question 3

how are metals divided into 2 categories?

Answer 3

on the far left, groups 1 and 2 are the highly reactive metals
in the centre of the periodic table are the transition metals(less reactive)

Question 4

what happens to metals when they react?

Answer 4

they lose an electron to gain a full outer energy level

they form a positive ion

Question 5

what kind of electronic structure do metals after a chemical reaction have

Answer 5

same electronic structure as a group 0 noble gas

Question 6

what type of ion is produced after a chemical reaction of a metal

Answer 6

a positive ion

Question 7

how do we write an ion on a electronic structure?

Answer 7

with brackets around the ion and a

(x)+ on the top right hand corner

Question 8

during a metal reaction of 
9
Be
4
give the overall charge and the electronic structure after the reaction has taken place

Answer 8

9
Be 2+
4

4 protons in nucleus
1 energy level with 2 electrons
brackets around energy level with 2+ in the top right hand corner
overall charge = 2+
this is now called the beryllium ion
