Q

in what order does the periodic table show the elements in?

A
  • in order of increasing atomic number.

- also, the elements with similar properties form columns. (these vertical columns are called groups)

Q

what does the group which an element belongs corresponds to?

A

it corresponds to the number of electrons in its outer shell (group 1 has 1 outer shell electron, group 2 elements has 2 outer shell electrons, etc.)

Q

what are the 3 electron shell rules?

A
  1. electrons always occupy shells (sometimes called energy levels)
  2. the lowest energy levels are always filled up first (the lowest energy levels are the ones closest to the nucleus)
  3. only a certain number is allowed in each shell: 1st -> 2, 2nd -> 8, 3rd -> 8

Q

how are shells shown in a diagram?

A

shells are shown as circles around the nucleus. The Xs on the circle are the electrons.

Q

how do you find out the electronic configuration?

A

e. g Nitrogen
- The atomic number for nitrogen is 7. That means nitrogen has 7 protons and 7 electrons.
- Follow the electron shell rule (1st -> 2, 2nd -> 8, 3rd -> 8). The first cell can only take 2 electrons, and the second shell can take max. 8 electrons. So the electronic configuration must be 2.5

Q

what does it mean when you say ‘Metal oxides are basic’?

A

this means they will neutralise acids. Metal oxides that dissolve will form solutions with a pH of more than 7.

Q

what does it mean when you say ‘Non-metal are acidic’?

Q

what are 3 facts about group 0 elements?

A
  1. they are called noble gases which include helium, neon, and argon (plus a few other).
  2. they are inert - don’t react with much at all.
  3. the reason that they don’t react with much at all is because it takes a lot of energy to add or remove electrons from a noble gas atom.
18
Q

what are ions?

A

ions are charged particles they can be single atoms (e.g Na+) or group atoms (e.g NO3-)

19
Q

when/how are negative ions (anions) formed?

A

when atoms gain electrons - they have more electrons than protons

20
Q

when/how are positive ions (cations) formed?

A

when atoms lose electrons - they have more protons than electrons.

21
Q

what does it mean when an ion loses or gains electrons?

A

the lose or gain of electron is equal to the charge of the ion. E.g if 2 electrons are lost the charge is 2+, but if 3 electrons are gained the charge is 3-

22
Q

what happens when group 1, 2, 3 (metals) lose electrons?

A

they form positive ions

23
Q

what happens when group 5, 6, 7 (non-metals) gain electrons?

A

they form negative ions

24
Q

what do elements in the same group all have in common?

A

they all have the same number of electrons in the outer shell. this means that they form ions with the same charge

25
Q

what ions do group 1 element form?

A

1+ ions

26
Q

what ions do group 2 element form?

A

2+ ions

27
Q

what ions do group 3 element form?

A

3+ ions

28
Q

what ions do group 7 element form?

A

1- ions

29
Q

what ions do group 6 element form?

A

2- ions

30
Q

what ions do group 5 element form?

A

3- ions

31
Q

what happens when a metal reacts with a non-metal?

A

the metal atom loses electrons to form a positive ion (cation) and the non-metal gains these electrons to form a negative ion (anion)

32
Q

what is ionic bond

A

it is when oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to one another by electrostatic attractions.

33
Q

Sodium chloride (NaCI) - ionic compound

A

1) the sodium atom gives up its outer electron, becoming Na+ ion. The chlorine atom picks p the electron, becoming a CI- ion (marcela look at the pictures in the google docs and memorise it. Even if it doesn’t feel importanted do it anyways)

34
Q

what are ionic compounds made up of?

A

made up of a positively charged part and negatively charged part.

35
Q

what is the overall charge of any ionic compound?

A

zero

36
Q

what do compound with ionic bonding always have?

A

giant ionic structure

37
Q

how are ions held together?

A

the ions held together in a closely packed 3D lattice arrangement by the attraction between oppositely charged ions.

38
Q

how strong is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions?

A

the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is very strong

39
Q

why do ionic compound have high melting and boiling points?

A

because a lot of energy is needed to overcome the strong attraction.

40
Q

when are ionic compound electric and when are they not electric?

A
  • they are electric when they are melted or dissolved in water.
  • they are not electric when they are solid.
41
Q

what are atoms within a molecule held together by?

A

very strong covalent bonds
