GCSE Periodic table introduction

AB
The elements in the periodic table are placed in order of theiratomic number ( proton number)
The proton number changes by ... as you go across the period1
The horizontal rows are calledperiods
the vertical columns are calledgroups
the number of e in the outer shell of an atom isthe same as the group number
The number of shells in atom tells us ......the period the element is found
Group 1 elements are calledalkali metals
group 7 elements are calledhalogens
group O (or 8) elements are calledNoble Gases
Na atomic number 11 electron pattern is2,8,1
Na 2,8,1 is in group no.group no. 1
Na 2,8,1 is in period ....3
Ne atomic number 10 el pattern is2,8
Ne 2,8 is found in group .......O (or 8) Noble Gases
Ar 2,8,8 is a Noble gas because it hasfull shells
K 2,8,8,1 is in group 1 becauseit has 1 e in outer shell
C & Si are in the same group becausethey have the same number of e in the outer shell
C & Si are both in group IV becausethey both have 4 e in the outer shell
Ca and Sr both form 2+ ions becausethey both have 2e in their outer shell
K, Na & Li are all in group 1 becausethey have 1 e in the outer shells
We can tell that Na, Mg and Al are metals because their outer shells contain1,2 or 3 electrons
If there are 1,2 or 3e in outer shell its usuallya metal
If there are more than 3 e in the outer shell the element is anon metal
In the PT metals are found to theleft
In the PT non metals are found to theright
C 2,4 is non metal becauseit has more than 3 e in its outer shell
The halogens includeF,Cl,Br, I
I is the symbol foriodine
F is the symbol forFluorine
Cl is the symbol forchlorine
Na is the symbol forsodium
K is the symbol forpotassium
Li is the symbol forlithium
Na forms compounds that containions
when Na 2,8,1 forms ions itloses 1 e from its outer shell
When chlorine 2,8,7 forms ions it1e is added to its outer shell
When Mg 2,8,2 reacts with O 2,62 e are transferred from the Mg outer shell to O outer shell
MgO has a high melting pointbecause ther strong attractive forces between its ions
NaCl conducts electricity when it isliquid but not solid
the bonding in all sodium compounds isionic
When 2 non metals form a compound its bonding iscovalent
examples of covalent compounds areCO2, CH4, SO2
Examples of ionic compounds areNaCl, K2O, MgO, MgCl2
The particles in covalent compounds are calledmolecules
covalent compounds have low melting points because the molecules areneutral
covalent compounds do not conduct electricityunder any conditions
Diamond is one form of this elementcarbon
apart from diamond C exists asgraphite
graphite and diamond are examples ofgiant molecules
Cl2 & O2 are examples ofsimple molecules
as more shells are added to an atom its sizegets bigger
