What is at the basic structure of an atom
A tiny central nucleus with electrons around it
3 of 25
What are the columns called?
Groups
4 of 25
What doe the group number represent?
Number of atoms in outer shell
5 of 25
What is the charge of a proton?
positive
6 of 25
What is the charge of a neutron?
No charge, 0
7 of 25
What is the charge of an electron?
negative
8 of 25
What is the overall charge of an atom and why?
neutral because there are the same number of protons as electrons
9 of 25
What is the atomic number of an atom?
The number of protons
10 of 25
What is the mass number of an atom?
The number of protons and neutrons
11 of 25
How are atoms arranged in the periodic table?
In order of their atomic number
12 of 25
Which shell has the lowest energy level?
The first
13 of 25
What are group one metals called?
The reactivity series
14 of 25
Why are the group one metals so reactive?
They only have one electron in their outer shell so need lots more
15 of 25
What are group 0 metals called?
The noble gases
16 of 25
Why are the noble gases unreactive?
They have a full outer shell
17 of 25
How do metals and non-metals bond?
by transferring electrons
18 of 25
how do non-metals and non-metals bond?
by sharing electrons
19 of 25
What are the bonds between metals and non-metals called?
Ionic bonds
20 of 25
What are the bonds between non-metals and non-metals called?
Covalent bonds
21 of 25
In ionic bonding, does the metal give away or receive the electron
it gives it away
22 of 25
Why do ions form bonds?
The positive metal atom attracts the negative non-metal atom
23 of 25
What happens to the atoms in a chemical reaction?
No atoms are created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
24 of 25
