comparative points (max 2 marks):
- both tables have more than one element in a box
- both have similar elements in the same column
- both are missing the noble gases
- both arranged elements in order of atomic weight
advantages of mendeleevs /disadvantages of newlands periodic table (max 2 marks):
- newlands did not leave gaps for undiscovered elements
- newlands had many more dissimilar elements in a column
- mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements
- mendeleev changed the order of some elements (e.g. Te and I)
points which led to the acceptance of mendeleevs table (max 2 marks)
- mendeleev predicted properties of missing elements
- elements with properties predicted by mendeleev were discovered
- mendeleevs predictions turned out to be correct
- elements were discovered which fitted the gaps

Q

give one reason why the mendeleev left gaps in this periodic table

A
  • for elements that had not been discovered (at that time)
  • so that elements with similar properties are grouped together

Q

describe two links between atomic structure and the periodic table (2)

A
  • elements arranged in atomic number order
  • elements in same group have same number of outer electrons
  • elements in same period have same number of electron shells
  • number of electron shells increases down each group

Q

mendeleev knew that there must be undiscovered elements, how did he take this into account when he designed his periodic table (2)

A
  • mendeleev left gaps
  • if placed consecutively, elements would be in wrong group (have wrong properties or some elements didnt fit pattern)

Q

by the early 20th century protons and electrons had been discovered, describe how this discovery allowed chemists to place elements in their correct order (3)

A
  • elements placed in atomic number order
  • elements in the same group have same number of outer electrons
  • number of protons = number of electrons
  • chemical properties depend on the outer electrons
  • number of shells gives the period

Q
A
  • transition metals are harder than Group 1 metals

Q

transition elements have similar properties, explain why in terms of electronic structure (2)

A
  • transition elements usually have the same number of outer shell electrons
  • inner (3rd) shell is being filled
17
Q

state two properties of platinum and gold that make them suitable for jewelery (2)

A
  • unreactive
  • high melting point
  • hard
  • strong
18
Q
A
  • conducts heat
  • forms coloured compounds
  • high melting point
  • strong
19
Q

give two differences between the physical properties of the elements in group 1 and those of the transition elements (2)

A
  • have lower melting points
  • have lower boiling points
  • have lower densities
  • are less strong
  • are softer
  • are not used as catalysts
20
Q

state two properties of copper that allows it to be used for electrical wiring (2)

A
  • good conductor of electricity
  • it is ductile
21
Q
A
  • they form ions with different charges
  • they have high melting points
22
Q

a student added copper metal to colourless silver nitrate solution, the student observed pale grey crystals forming and the solution turning blue, explain how these observations show that copper is more reactive than silver (3)

A
  • the grey crystals are silver
  • the copper ions produced are blue
  • observations show copper has displaced silver, so copper is more reactive
23
Q
A
  • has a higher melting point
  • is harder
24
Q
A

plan:
- add the metals to dilute hydrochloric acid
- measure temperature change (or compare rate of bubbling or compare colour of resulting solution)
observations for copper:
- no reaction
- shown by no temperature change (or shown by no bubbles)
observations for magnesium and iron:
- magnesium has a higher increase in temperature than iron (or magnesium bubbles faster than iron or magnesium forms a colourless solution AND iron forms a coloured solution)
control variables (max 2 marks):
- same concentration of hydrochloric acid
- same volume of hydrochloric acid
- same mass of metal
- same particle size of metal
- same temperature of acid if comparing rate of bubbling

25
Q
A

metals:
- can be hammered into shape, good conductor of electricity, shiny
non-metals:
- brittle, dull, poor conductors of electricity

26
Q

state one similarity between hydrogen and the elements in group 1 (1)

A
  • one electron in the outer shell
  • forms ions with a 1+ charge
27
Q

state one difference between hydrogen and the elements in group 1 (1)

A
  • hydrogen is a non-metal
  • at room temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a gas
  • hydrogen does not react with water
  • hydrogen has only one electron shell
28
Q

explain why the reactivity of the elements:
- increases going down group 1 from lithium to rubidium
- decreases going down group 7 from fluorine to iodine (4)

A
  • group 1 elements react by losing an electron
  • group 7 elements react by gaining an electron
  • going down a group there is an increase in distance from the nucleus
  • and a decrease in attraction to nucleus
  • making it is easier to lose an electron
  • but making it harder to gain an electron
29
Q

(1)

A

they have the same number of outer electrons

30
Q

calcium is more reactive than magnesium, suggest an explanation for this in terms of the electronic structure of the two elements (2)

A
  • outer shell electrons of calcium are further from nucleus
  • less attraction to the nucleus
  • electrons are more easily lost
