Calderglen High School What are the NOBLE GASES? The very unreactive Group 0 elements. 3. answer

Calderglen High School What is the name given to the centre of an atom? The NUCLEUS 4. answer

Calderglen High School Describe the structure of an atom? An atom is a very small particle with a positively charged centre (nucleus) surrounded by moving negatively charged electrons 5. answer

Calderglen High School What is a nucleus? The very small positively charged centre of atom. It contains protons and neutrons. 6. answer

Calderglen High School Where are the electrons found in an atom? Electrons are arranged in different energy levels around the nucleus of the atom 11. answer

Calderglen High School What is ATOMIC NUMBER? The number of protons (and so also electrons) in an atom. It is the number by which elements are arranged in the periodic table 12. answer

Calderglen High School Why are atoms electrically neutral? The number of positively charged protons equals the number of negatively charged electrons 13. answer

Calderglen High School What information does the group number give? The group number = the number of electrons in the outer energy level 14. answer

Calderglen High School What is the mass and charge of a proton? Mass Charge Proton 1 amu answer

Calderglen High School What is the mass and charge of a electron? Mass Charge Electron almost answer

Calderglen High School What is the mass and charge of a neutron? Mass Charge Neutron 1 amu answer

Calderglen High School Why is the relative atomic mass of an element rarely a whole number? RAM is an AVERAGE, but, it is often close to a whole number as one isotope is usually much more common than the others 18. answer

Calderglen High School What is the same about the electron arrangement of atoms in the same group? They have the same number of electrons in their outer energy levels. 19. answer

Calderglen High School What is the connection between the electron arrangement and the chemical properties of an element? Elements with the same number of outer electrons have similar chemical properties 20. answer

Calderglen High School What is the MASS NUMBER of an atom? No of Protons + No of Neutrons 21. answer

Calderglen High School What is an ION? A charged particle formed when electrons are gained or lost by an atom 22. answer

Calderglen High School How is a positive ion formed? An outer electron(s) is lost from an atom 23. answer

Calderglen High School How is a negative ion formed? An electron(s) is gained by an atom 24. answer

Calderglen High School What is a MOLECULE? A group of non-metal atoms joined together by covalent bonds. 28. answer

Calderglen High School What is RELATIVE ATOMIC MASS (RAM)? Average mass of the atoms of an element allowing for different isotopes and their percentage proportions 29. answer

Calderglen High School What are ISOTOPES? Atoms with the same atomic number ( same element ) but different mass numbers, due to a different number of neutrons in the nucleus 30. answer
