Periodic table Flashcards
How did new lands arrange the elements
Order of atomic weight
Noticed patterns, missing elements caused issues
Mendeleev
Some elements yet to be discovered
Created table in 1869
Left gaps for undiscovered
Elements placed in groups based on properties
Predicted new elements using existing
Oprganised elements in order of increasing atomic number
Group 0 name
Noble gases
How many electrons on outer Shell
8
Reactive or non-reactive
Non-reactive
What happens down the group
Boiling points increase
Group 1 name
Alkali metals
Electrons in outer shell
1
Melting and boiling points
Decrease down the group
Reactivity
Increase down the group
Outer electron gets further away from nucleus so lost easily
Why are they stored under oil
React vigorously with water(explode) and oxygen including moisture in air
What happens when alkali metals react with water
Metal hydroxide formed and hydrogen gas given off
What do alkali metals react with to form ionic compounds
Non-metals
Metal atom loses on electron to form metal ion with positive charge
Group 7
Halogens
How many electrons in outer shell
7
