How many groups are in the Periodic Table?
The Periodic Table has 8 groups. These are based on elements reacting in similar ways.
1 of 10
What are the [three] sub-atomic particles that make up an atom?
Protons (charge +1 mass +1) Electrons (charge -1 mass 0) Neutrons (charge 0 mass +1)
2 of 10
What is the charge of an atom?
The charge of an ATOM is neutral (0) -> this means that the number of protons is the same as the number of electrons
3 of 10
How do you find out the mass number?
Number of protons + number of neutrons (e.g. carbon (6 + 6 = 12))
4 of 10
How do you find out the number of neutrons?
Mass number - number of protons (e.g. carbon (12 - 6 = 6))
5 of 10
In the Periodic Table, what does the horizontal row tell you?
A horizontal row in the Periodic Table is a period.
6 of 10
In the Periodic Table, what does the vertical column tell you?
The vertical column contains elements with similar reactivities. This is a group.
7 of 10
Each shell on an atom can contain up to how many shells?
First shell - 2 Second Shell - 8 Third Shell - 18
8 of 10
What is the name for all elements in group 0?
The elements in group 0 are all NOBLE GASES - this means they have a stable electron arrangement and have a full outer shell.
9 of 10
Explain the formation of a compound.
A compound is formed when two or more different elements combine together.
