The Periodic Table + Electron Arrangement

Question 1

How does the arrangement of the periodic table help chemists?

Answer 1

It increases by atomic number and reactivity

The periodic table is an easy way for chemists to visualise the elements and be able to quickly find out information about a certain element (such as the atomic number or atomic weight)

Question 2

How can an element be tested to determ ine if it is a metal or non-metal?

Answer 2

If it conducts electricity it is a metal

Question 3

What is a vertical column of elements in the periodic table?

Answer 3

group

Question 4

What is a horizontal row of elements called in the periodic table?

Answer 4

period

Question 5

In what way are elements that are in the same group similar?

Answer 5

they have the same number of outer electrons

Question 6

What is the name of group 1

Answer 6

Alkali metals

Question 7

what is the name of group 7

Answer 7

halogens

Question 8

what is the name of group 8/0

Answer 8

noble gases

Question 9

what is the name of the area between 2/3

Answer 9

transition metals

Question 10

which group contains very reactive metals?

Answer 10

alkali

Question 11

which group contains very reactive non-metals

Answer 11

halogens

Question 12

which group contains very unreactive non-metals

Answer 12

noble gases

Question 13

The transition metals are an important group of metals with a wide number of uses. name 3

Answer 13

pots, pans, ovens

Question 14

Where are electrons located and arranged within atoms?

Answer 14

outer energy levels

Question 15

What is the maximum number of electrons that each of the first three electron shells hold?

Answer 15

2,8,8

Question 16

What can be said about the number of electrons in the outer shell of the atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table?

Answer 16

they are the same

eg. Na and Li have 1 outer electron as they are in group 1
