Mendeleev used the patterns and trends he knew about to predict some of the properties of missing
elements. He called the element immediately below silicon ‘eka-silicon’.
Periodic table Eka-silicon’s properties will fit with the rest Germanium discovered

Sodium, magnesium and aluminium are metals. When their atoms react, they lose their outer
electrons. Each electron lost leaves them with one positive charge.
1. Write the symbols for sodium, magnesium and aluminium ions. __________________________
Nitrogen, oxygen and fluorine are non-metals. When their atoms react, they gain electrons to fill their
outer shells. Each extra electron gives them one negative charge.

3. Now write the symbols for the ions these atoms will form:
Dot-and-cross diagrams
When sodium and chlorine react, sodium’s outer electron is transferred to chlorine’s outer shell. Dot-
and-cross diagrams model this process.
Models do not need to be exactly like the real thing to be useful. These dot-and-cross diagrams clarify
what happens by showing only the outer electrons.
Draw simplified dot-and-cross diagrams to show how each of the following ionic compounds form:

The symbols and formulae below show what happens when magnesium burns:
The equation above is unbalanced. There are more oxygen atoms before the reaction than after. Two
magnesium atoms need to react with each pair of oxygen atoms to form two ‘lots’ of magnesium
oxide. So the balanced equation looks like this:
The equations below are incomplete. Write the formulae of the compounds formed.
Then add any numbers needed to balance the equations (sometimes none may be needed).
REMEMBER a balanced equation has the same numbers of the same atoms before and after the
reaction.
a) Ca + O 2 → .......................... i) Mg + F 2 → ............................
b) Ca + Cl 2 → ........................... j) Li + O 2 → ..............................

These symbols and formulas show what happens when magnesium burns:
The equation above is unbalanced because there are more oxygen atoms before the reaction than
after. Two magnesium atoms need to react with each pair of oxygen atoms to form two ‘lots’ of
magnesium oxide. So the balanced equation looks like this:
Write balanced equations to show elements reacting to form the compounds listed in part 1.

‘Geiger and Marsden’s results are shocking. The ‘Dalton’s ideas don’t explain my results. I proved
only explanation is that most of an atom is that atoms contain tiny negative electrons. But
empty space. Nearly all its mass is in a tiny atoms are neutral – so perhaps they are balls of
positive nucleus. The negative electrons must positive charge with negative electrons stuck in –
orbit around it.’ like plums in a plum pudding.’
Rutherford was shocked. This could only happen if nearly all the mass of the gold particles was in a
tiny positive sphere. This could only be true if most of the atom was empty space.
Rutherford called the positive part of the atom the nucleus. He predicted that there must be neutral
neutrons in the nucleus too. This theory became more convincing years later when another scientist,
called Chadwick, found evidence that neutrons did exist.

2. Students have been researching some properties of some elements. The table shows their results
(the states are as at room temperature).
Element Properties
Argon Very unreactive gas.
Lithium Reactive grey metal, stored under oil, reacts with water to give off hydrogen gas.
Fluorine Pale yellow gas, very reactive, reacts with metals to produce fluorides.
Sodium Very reactive grey metal, stored under oil, reacts violently with water to give off
hydrogen gas.
Caesium Extremely reactive grey metal, stored under oil, explodes with water, producing
hydrogen gas
Neon Very unreactive gas
Helium Very unreactive gas.
Potassium Very reactive grey metal, stored under oil, reacts violently with water to give off
hydrogen gas.
Chlorine Yellow gas, very reactive, reacts with metals to produce chlorides.
Bromine Red/brown liquid, extremely reactive, reacts with metals to produce bromides.
Decide which elements are in the same group and whether or not these observations support the
idea that elements with the same number of electrons in their outer shell has similar properties.
