Answer 10

Same number of electrons and protons

Question 11

What are the rings outside the nucleus of an atom called?

Answer 11

Shells

Answer 13

8

Question 14

What does the period and group of an element tell us?

Answer 14

Period = Number of shells. 
Group = number of electrons on outer shell.

Question 15

How many types of atoms do elements contain?

Answer 15

1

Question 16

What is electronic figuration?

Answer 16

The number of electrons on each shell. e.g 2.8.2

Question 17

How do you find out the number of neutrons in an atom?

Answer 17

Atomic mass - atomic number

Question 18

What are isotopes?

Answer 18

Isotopes are different atomic forms of the same element, which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Question 19

How do you work out relative atomic mass (RAM)?

Answer 19

100

Question 20

Who is Mendeleev?

Answer 20

The man that made the periodic table.

Question 22

How did Mendeleev create the periodic table?

Answer 22

He had 63 elements. He arranged them in atomic mass order. He put elements into groups that had similar chemical and physical properties. Mendeleev sometimes broke his rule of atomic mass order if an element had different chemical and physical properties. He also made predictions about elements yet to be discovered, they have since been found proving the success of his ideas/table.
