Topic 1: Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table – Part 1

Knowledge Check

1. Draw an atom of helium, labelling the electrons, protons and neutrons.


2. Draw out and complete a table comparing the relative mass and charges of the
three sub-atomic particles.
3. Explain what is meant by “atomic number” and “mass number”.
4. For the following, determine the number of each type of sub-atomic particle:
calcium, iron, chlorine-35 molecule, fluorine ion, magnesium ion, zinc (ii) ion,
nitrogen molecule.
5. Explain the term “isotopes”
6. Define the terms “relative isotopic mass” and “relative atomic mass”. Ensure to
include reference to 12C scale.
7. Calculate the relative molecular mass of: glucose, ammonia, water, sulfuric
acid, calcium fluoride, aspirin
8. Calculate the relative atomic mass of zirconium using its mass spectra below:
zirconium-90 51.5
zirconium-91 11.2
zirconium-92 17.1
zirconium-94 17.4
zirconium-96 2.8
9. Chlorine atoms 35-Cl and 37-Cl exist in proportions of 3:1. Sketch the mass
spectra expected for naturally occurring chlorine gas. Label your graph
carefully and explain what is happening.
10.Explain the data that can be accumulated using mass spectrometry. What does
M+ stand for? What can the mass spectra of a molecule tell us?
11.Define the terms “first ionisation energy” and “successive ionisation energies”.
12.Describe the key factors that influence the size of ionisation energies.
13.For period 3, describe how and why the 1st I.E. changes.
14.For group 1 and group 7, describe and explain how the 1st I.E. changes down
the group.
15. a) Explain how the use of atomic emission spectrum by Niels Bohr was used to
provide evidence for the existence of quantum shells (energy levels)
b) Explain how the graph of successive ionisation energies ( i.e. a graph of all
20 I.E.s) for Calcium can be used to provide evidence for:
i) the existence of quantum shells
ii) the group calcium belongs to
c) Explain how the graph of first ionisation energies of period 3 can be used to
provide evidence for the existence of electrons in sub-shells.
16. Complete the following table:
Region Number of electrons
s orbital
p orbital
p sub-shell
d orbital
d sub-shell
1st quantum shell
2nd quantum shell
3rd quantum shell
4th quantum shell
Define the term orbital (use your PLC)

17. Sketch the shapes of an s and p orbital – use appropriate words to describe
their shape
20. Define Hund’s rule. Draw an electrons-in- boxes diagram to illustrate this for
sulfur and phosphorus.
21. List the electronic configuration, using 1s notation and electrons-in-boxes
notation for
a) All elements up to Z=36
b) All common ions for s and p block elements up to Z=36
22. Define the terms s, p and d-block elements.
23. Using sodium and chlorine as examples, explain how the electronic
configuration determine an elements chemical properties.
24. Define the term periodicity, and explain an example that illustrates.
25. a) sketch a graph for the trend in MP or BPs for period 2 and use it to describe
the how the different types of bonding, structure and intermolecular force can
account for the shape in the graph
b) sketch a graph for the trend in first ionisation energy for period 3 (I.E. vs
atomic number) and account for the changes in the shape of the graph

26. a) Sketch graphs for period 2 to show the trend in atomic radius

b) use electronic configurations to illustrate periodicity by using your answers


from Q21 to show the “repeating pattern”
