How is the periodic table arranged
increasing atomic number
Vertical row/group Contains Elemis with similar properties
Horizontal colomb = period
How to test an element if it is metal or non-metal
Burn them
How are elements in the same group similiar
Same number of electrons on the outer shell
Group 1
Group 2&3
Group 6

Noble gases
Uses of transition metals
Copper - electricity good conductor
Titanium - used in aeroplanes
Every element is made of
Atoms
Sun atomic particles
Protons
Neutron
Electrons
Why are atoms neurtal
Same number of protons and electrons
Atomic number
The number of protons
Mass number
Total proton and neutron in nucleus
Max outer shell number
2,8,8
Isotope
same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
How to tell reactivity of elements from electrons
Less electrons = more reactive
How are ions formed
When the ratio of protons:electrons isn’t equal
