You will need your Year 10 Data Sheet and Periodic Table to complete this booklet. Remember, you
will also have access to this sheet in the test.
1. Draw a labelled diagram of a lithium atom. Ensure that you include the three subatomic particle
types, their charges, and labels for the two main parts of the atom.
2. Complete the following sentences:
 The __________ number of an element is the number of protons in the element.

 The mass number of an element is the number of protons plus _____________ in the
element.
 In an uncharged atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of ___________ so the
overall charge is zero.
 Electrons are arranged in shells or orbits, with the first shell containing a maximum of ____,
the second shell a maximum of ____, and the third shell a maximum of ____ also (although
this is highly simplified).
 The outermost electron shell containing electrons is its ____________ shell.
 Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of increasing _________ number.
 The rows on the periodic table are called periods and the columns are called _________.
3. Write the electron configuration for the following elements:

Carbon ______ Hydrogen ______ Nitrogen ______
Sodium ______ Calcium _______ Aluminium _______
Neon ______ Phosphorus ______ Chlorine _______

8. A monoatomic ion has only one element in it (e.g. Mg2+, Cl-). A polyatomic ion has two or more
elements in it, with an overall charge. For instance, in a sulfate ion, one sulfur and four oxygens
have an overall charge of -2 (SO42-). Identify the overall charge on each of the following polyatomics:
Hydroxide (OH) ___ Phosphate (PO4) ___ Ammonium (NH4) ___
Carbonate (CO3) ___ Nitrate (NO3) ___ Hydrogen carbonate (HCO3) ___
9. Complete the following table relating the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom or
monatomic ion, to the atomic number, mass number and electron configuration.

14. Compare ionic compounds and molecules by completing the missing words in the following
sentences.
Ionic bonds form between _______ and ____-__________.The positive ion, or ___________, forms
when an atom loses electrons. The ______________ ion, or anion, forms when an atom _________
electrons. The ions are attracted to each other to form an ionic compound.
Covalent bonds form between ____-__________ and ____-__________. Instead of one atom
donating and the other atom accepting electrons, the atoms instead __________ electrons to fill their
valence shells. The atoms are thus bonded together to form a covalent __________________.
