1.3 Recall the relative charge and Particle Mass ChargeRelative mass Relative
relative mass of crge
a: a proton, b: a neutron & c: an electron
Proton
Neutron
Electron
1.4 Explain why atoms contain equal
numbers of protons and electrons. Atoms are _______ - they have no charge overall
1.13 Describe how Mendeleev arranged Sorted elements (and their compounds) with similar
the elements, known at that time, in a ________ properties into groups,
periodic table by using properties of
these elements and their compounds In order of atomic______,
this showed a _________
mass chemical pattern
1.14 Describe how Mendeleev used his
table to predict the existence and Mendeleev ______ the chemical and physical properties
properties of some elements not then of an element he called_______, which we know today as
discovered germanium.
Ekasilicon predicted
1.15 Explain that Mendeleev thought he Mendeleev ordered elements by decreasing /increasing
had arranged elements in order of atomic mass but he was wrong (due to the presence
increasing relative atomic mass but this
was not always true because of the of_________ ) which he did not know about
relative abundance of isotopes of some some elements just didn’t quite fit the pattern
pairs of elements in the periodic table he ________ the order of the elements to keep those with
the ______ properties in the same columns
switched isotopes same
Eg., Iodine has a lower relative atomic mass than tellurium.
So iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's
table. However, iodine has similar chemical properties to
chlorine and bromine. To make iodine line up with chlorine
and bromine in his table, Mendeleev swapped the positions of
iodine and tellurium. iodine and tellurium were reversed in
Mendeleev's table because:
iodine has one naturally occurring isotope, iodine-127
the most abundant tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128
and tellurium-130
