Q

What is an ion?

A

Charged particle

formed by gaining of losing electrons

17
Q

If an atom loses electrons…

A

it becomes a positive ions

as it has more protons than electrons

18
Q

If an atom gains electrons…

A

it becomes negative

as it has more electrons than protons

19
Q

atoms are neutral because…

A

same amount of positive protons

negative electrons

20
Q

The transition metals can be found…

A

in the middle of the periodic table

21
Q

Group 0 atoms are unreactive because…

A

they have a full outer shell

don’t need to gain or lose electrons

22
Q

alkali metal + water –>

A

alkali metal + water –> metal hydroxide + hydrogen

23
Q

Alkali metals react by…

A

losing its outer electron

become 1+

24
Q

Alkali metal become ….down the group

A

gets more reactive

25
Alkali metals get more reactive down a group becuase...
outer electron further away from the nucleus (bigger atom) more easily lost
26
Group 7 elements are known as
halogens
27
Halogens react by
gaining an electron become 1-
28
Halogens become ......reactive down the group
get less reactive
29
Halogens get less reactive down the group because...
outer shell further away from the nucleus (bigger atom) less likely to gain electron
30
The columns in the periodic table are known as...
groups
31
the rows of the periodic table are known as...
periods
32
the periodic table is in order of...
atomic number (proton number)
