he mixed up metals and non metals he didnt leave any gaps for elements that had not been discovered yet |
|
how was the periodic table formed |
mendleeve put elements in form of atomic mass and left gaps for atoms that hadnt been discovered yet |

group 1 elements react more rigorously as you go down but in group 7 reactivity decreases |
|
how can you calculate the number of neurons |
relative atomic mass- neutrons |
|
What do electrons do? |
they occupy shells sometimes called energy levels |
|
what shells get filled first |
the lowest |
|
how many electrons are allowed in the 1st shell |
2 |
|
how many electrons are allowed in the second shell |
8 |
|
how many electrons are allowed in the third shell |
8 |
|
what happens in atoms when the outer shell is not full |
makes the atom want to react |
|
what does an elements electron arrangement determine |
its chemical properties |
|
how do you work out electron configuration |
you find out how many protons it has then separate those into shells |
|
what happens when atoms lose or gain electrons |
they form charged particles called ions |
|
how can atoms be made |
from single atoms or groups of atoms |
|
why do atoms lose or gain electrons |
theyre trying to gain a full outer shell |
|
How are the atoms in group1 electrons |
have just one electron in their outer shell and they want to get rid of it because theyll have full shells left as they like |
|
what happens when group 1 atoms lose an electorn |
they form positive ions |
|
how are group 7 outer shell |
nearly full |
|
what do group 7 want for their shells |
to gain electrons to fill their shells |
|
what happens when group 7 elements gain an electron |
they form negative ions |
|
How are oppositely charged ions to eachother |
strongly attracted they join with passing ions that have an opposite charge and form an ionic bond |
|
how are group 1 and group 7 elements held together by |
ionic bonds and theyre ionic compounds |
|
what are solid ionic compounds made up of |
made up of a giant lattice of ions each lattice forms a single crystal |
|
what happens when ionic compounds become molten or dissolve |
they can conduct electricity because the ions are able to move |
|
what is the evidence that molten compounds can conduct electricity |
theyre made up of ions |
|
what do the compounds int he total charge always add up to |
0 |
|
what do group 1 metals include |
lithium,sodium,potassium |
|
how many outer shell electrons do group 1 have |
one outer shell making them very reactive and have similar properties |
|
how are alkali metals when cut and react in the air |
very shiny when freshly cut quickly react with oxygen in air and tarnish |
|
what happens as you go down group 1 |
alkali metals become more reactive because outer electron becomes easily lost as it is away from nucleus |
|
what happens to density as you go down group 1
|
have a higher density because atoms have more mass |
|
what happens to their melting and boilingpoint as you go down group 1
|
have a lower melting point and boiling point |
|
what happens when group 1 metals are put in water |
they react vigorously and move around the surface fizzing furiously |
|
what happens to group 1 metals when put in water (2) |
they produce hydrogen.potassium gets hot enough to ignite |
|

|
what are diatomic molecules |
pair of atoms |
|
what happens as you go down group 7 |
halogens become less reactive |
|
why do group 7 become less reactive as you go down |
because the electrons are further from the nucleus and additional electrons are attracted less strongly |
