number
1 (a) (i) B box 2 1
The only correct answer is B because box 2 contains
two different particles in the same space that are
not chemically joined

A is not correct because box A shows an element

C is not correct because box C shows an element
D is not correct because box 4 shows a compound

(ii) C Boxes 1 and 3 1

The only correct answer is C because boxes 1 and 2
contain one type of atom only.
A is not correct because box 2 shows a mixture
B is not correct because box 2 shows a mixture
D is not correct because box 4 shows a compound

(iii) M1 (box 5 shows) two (different) elements ALLOW two (different) 2

types of atoms

REJECT mixture for M1

M2 (chemically) bonded (together) ALLOW (chemically)

combined/joined
(together)

M2 DEP on mention of
elements/atoms in M1

(b) (i) C number of protons 1

The only correct answer is B because the elements

in the periodic table are arranged in order of
proton number
A is not correct because elements are not arranged
in order of mass number
B is not correct because elements are not arranged
in order of the number of neutrons
D is not correct because elements are not arranged
in order of reactivity

(ii) A electrons in the outer shell 1

The only correct answer is A because elements in

the same group of the periodic table have the same
number of electrons in the outer shell.
B Is not the correct answer because elements in the
same period have the same number of shells
C elements in the same group do not have the same
number of neutrons
D is not the correct answer because elements in the
same group do not have the same number of
protons

2 (a) (i) (pale/light) yellow 1

(ii) The correct answer is B 1 as bromine is the 1

only liquid at room temperature (20 °C)

A 0 is incorrect because bromine is a liquid at

room temperature (20 °C)

C 2 is incorrect because bromine is the only liquid

at room temperature (20 °C)

D 3 is incorrect because bromine is the only liquid

at room temperature (20 °C)

(iii) At2 1

(b) (i) explanation including 2

M1 oxidising agent is chlorine/Cl2

M2 because chlorine/Cl2 gains electron(s)/is ACCEPT because

reduced bromide ions/Br– lose
electrons/are oxidised
REJECT bromine ions

M2 DEP M1 correct or
missing

2 (b) (ii) explanation containing three of following points 3

M1 bromine and chlorine react by gaining

electron/forming 1- or negative ion

M2 bromine atom larger (than chlorine atom) ALLOW bromine has

larger atomic radius
ALLOW bromine outer
(electron) shell further
from nucleus
ALLOW bromine atom
has more (electron)
shells (than chlorine)
M3 bromine (atom) has smaller/weaker attraction
(from nucleus) for (outer shell) electrons (than
chlorine) OWTTE

M4 so (bromine has) less tendency to gain

electron/form negative ion (so less reactive than
chlorine) OWTTE ALLOW reverse
argument for chlorine
in M2 M3 M4

(c) The correct answer is D K+ and Cl– because both 1

have electronic configuration of 2.8.8

A is not correct because Li+ does not have

electronic configuration of 2.8.8

B is not correct because F– does not have

electronic configuration of 2.8.8

C is not correct because neither Li+ nor F– have

electronic configuration of 2.8.8

M1 (particles/ions/atoms are same size in a regular
arrangement so) layers can easily slide over each

Alloy:

M2 diagram of alloy structure showing minimum of

three layers with at least one different sized circle

M3 (having different sized particles/ions/atoms) ALLOW disrupts the

disrupts/breaks up regular arrangement OWTTE lattice / layers / rows
