Chemistry Chapter 1 – Atomic structure and the periodic table – periodic table, metals and non-metals
What does the group number and the period tell you
about the element.
How many electrons are able to go in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th shell.
Describe the pattern Newlands noticed in 1865 and how he ordered the
Periodic table.
State the properties of metals and non-metals.
Describe why Mendeleev’s Periodic table is still used today. Include in your
answer what he did differently to the previous scientists before him.
Draw an electron shell diagram for sodium.
State the oxide formed from metals
Describe Rutherford’s theory for the atom and describe the experiment
that allowed him to come up with this theory.
State the number of electrons, neutron and protons
found in Na, F, Cl, Mg and H.
Describe the pattern Döbereiner noticed in 1829 and
the order of his Periodic table.
State the oxide formed from non-metals
Describe how you could prove an unknown metal
oxide was metal or non-metal.
