I can | | | Classification of matter * State and compare the characteristics of homogeneous and heterogeneous substances. * Distinguish between pure substances (elements and compounds), homogeneous mixtures (solutions) and heterogeneous mixtures. The Periodic Table * Explain the structure of the periodic table in terms of periods (1 – 7 ), Groups (1 – 18), and metals/non-metals * Describe the trends in atomic size and down a Group and across a Period. * Describe the trend in MP across period 3. |
Atomic structure and bonding
I can | | | Atomic structure * State that matter is built up from minute particles called atoms. * Write the symbols and names of the following elements: H, He, Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, Sr, Ag, Sn, I, Ba, Pt, Au, Hg, Cd and Pb. * List the relative charges and relative masses (on the atomic mass scale) of the fundamental particles - protons, neutrons and electrons. * State that atoms have a dense positively charged nucleus (consisting of protons and neutrons) around which move negatively charged electrons. * State that an element is identified by its atomic number (Z), which is the number of protons in the nucleus and determines the number of electrons in a neutral atom of the element. *
