1.

1 When Mendeleev developed the Periodic Table, he knew nothing about


electrons and electron shells. How did he manage to arrange the elements
into groups and periods in the way we see?

2. 2 Why do some substances conduct electricity and some not?

3. 3 Lithium, sodium and potassium are in Group I of the Periodic Table.


1. a The equation for the reaction of lithium with water is
2Li + 2H2O → 2LiOH + H2
1. i Write a word equation for this reaction. [2]

2. ii Sodium reacts with water in a similar way to lithium.

Write a symbol equation for the reaction of sodium with


water. [1]

2. b Describe the reactions of lithium, sodium and potassium with


water. In your description, write about:

 ◆ the difference in the reactivity of the metals


 ◆ the observations you would make when these metals react
with water. [5]

2012]

4. 4 The diagram below shows the elements in a period of the Periodic


Table.
1. a To which period of the Periodic Table do these elements belong?
[1]

2. b Answer these questions using only the elements shown in the


diagram. Each element can be used once, more than once or not at
all.

5. Write down the symbol for the element which:


1. i has six electrons in its outer shell

2. ii is a halogen

3. iii is a metal which reacts rapidly with cold water

4. iv has two forms, graphite and diamond

5. v is in Group II of the Periodic Table


6. vi makes up about 80% of the air. [6]

The following is a list of the electron distributions of atoms of unknown elements.

Eleme Electron
nt distribution
A 2,5
B 2,8,4
C 2,8,8,2
D 2,8,18,8
E 2,8,18,8,1
F 2,8,18,18,7

1. a Choose an element from the list for each of the following descriptions.

1. i It is a noble gas.

2. ii It is a soft metal with a low density.

3. iii It can form a covalent compound with element A.

4. iv It has a giant covalent structure similar to diamond.

5. v It can form a negative ion of the type X 3−. [5]


2. b Elements C and F can form an ionic compound.

i Draw a diagram that shows the formula of this compound, the charges on the
ions and the
arrangement of the valency electrons around the negative ion. Use o to
represent an electron
from an atom of C. Use × to represent an electron from an atom of F. [3]

ii Predict two properties of this compound.
