Particles and Periodic Table

Specification points Year 9 Particles The three states of matter The three states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. In chemical equations, the three states of matter are shown as (s), (l) and (g), with (aq) for aqueous solutions. Melting and freezing take place at the melting point, boiling and condensing take place at the boiling point. The three states of matter can be represented by a simple model. In this model, particles are represented by small solid spheres. Particle theory can help to explain melting, boiling, freezing and condensing. The amount of energy needed to change state from solid to liquid and from liquid to gas depends on the strength of the forces between the particles of the substance. The nature of the particles involved depends on the type of bonding and the structure of the substance. The stronger the forces between the particles the higher the melting point and boiling point of the substance. Students should be able to: predict the states of substances at different temperatures given appropriate data explain the different temperatures at which changes of state occur in terms of energy transfers and types of bonding recognise that atoms themselves do not have the bulk properties of materials Explain the limitations of the particle theory in relation to changes of state when particles are represented by solid inelastic spheres which have no forces between them. Year 9 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table Models of the atom The plum pudding model suggested that the atom was a ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it. Rutherford and Marsden s alpha scattering experiments led to the plum pudding model being replaced by the nuclear model. Niels Bohr adapted the nuclear model by suggesting that electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances. Later experiments led to the idea that the nucleus has a positive charge particle called a proton. In 932 the experimental work of James Chadwick provided the evidence to show the existence of neutrons within the nucleus. Students should be able to: recognise that the model for the structure of the atom developed. describe the plum pudding model and nuclear model of the atom describe why evidence from the scattering experiment led scientists to move from the plum pudding model of the atom to the nuclear model. Atoms, elements and compounds There are about 00 different elements shown on the Periodic Table. A compound is where two or more elements are chemically combined in fixed proportions. Use the names and symbols of the first 20 elements in the periodic table, the elements in Groups and 7, and other elements in the course. Students should be able to: Particles and Periodic Table name compounds of these elements from given formulae or symbol equations write word equations for the reactions in this specification write formulae and balanced chemical equations for the reactions in this specification. know the electrical charges and masses of protons, neutrons and electrons. know that the atomic number is the number of protons

In an atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus. Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons. Atoms are very small, having a radius of about 0. nm ( x 0-0 m). The radius of a nucleus is less than /0 000 of the atom (about x 0-4 m). Almost all of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus. Atoms of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons; these atoms are called isotopes of that element. Students should be able to calculate the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom or ion, given its atomic number and mass number. Electronic structure The electrons in an atom occupy the lowest available energy levels (innermost available shells). The electronic structure of an atom can be represented by numbers or by a diagram. For example, the electronic structure of sodium is 2,8, or electron configuration diagrams showing two electrons in the lowest energy level, eight in the second energy level and one in the third energy level. Year 9 and Year 0 Further Atomic Structure The Periodic Table The elements in the periodic table are arranged in order of atomic (proton) number. Elements with similar properties are in columns, known as groups, elements in a group have the same number of outer shell electrons and this gives them similar chemical properties. The table is called a periodic table because similar properties occur at regular intervals. Students should be able to: explain how the position of an element in the periodic table is related to the arrangement of electrons in its atoms and hence to its atomic number predict possible reactions and probable reactivity of elements from their positions in the periodic table. Development of the periodic table Be able to describe the steps in the development of the Periodic Table: Before the discovery of protons, neutrons and electrons, scientists attempted to classify the elements by arranging them in order of their atomic weights. The early periodic tables were incomplete and some elements were placed in inappropriate groups if the strict order of atomic weights was followed. Mendeleev left gaps for undiscovered elements and in some places changed the order based on atomic weights. Elements with properties predicted by Mendeleev were discovered and filled the gaps. Knowledge of isotopes made it possible to explain why the order based on atomic weights was not always correct. Metals and non-metals Metals react to form positive ions whilst non metals ions do not. The majority of elements are metals. Be able to identify the positions of metals and non metals on the periodic table. Students should be able to explain: the differences between metals and non-metals on the basis of their characteristic physical and chemical properties. how the atomic structure of elements relates to their position in the periodic table how the reactions of elements are related to the arrangement of electrons in their atoms and hence to their atomic number.

Group The Alkali Metals: are low density metals, the first three elements in the group are less dense than water. react with water, releasing hydrogen react with non-metals to form ionic compounds and form + ions. the compounds are white solids that dissolve in water to form colourless solutions form hydroxides that dissolve in water to give alkaline solutions. Increase in reactivity down the group due to increased electron shielding and size. Students should be able to: explain how properties of gp depends on the outer shell electrons of the atoms predict properties from given trends down the group. Group 7 The Halogens The elements in Group 7 are non metals and consist of molecules of pairs of atoms, they react with metals to form ionic compounds in which the halide ion carries a charge of and form molecular compounds with other non-metallic elements. The further down the group an element is the higher its relative molecular mass, melting point and boiling point. The reactivity of the elements decreases going down the group and a more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halogen from an aqueous solution of its salt. Students should be able to: explain how properties of gp 7 depends on the outer shell of electrons of the atoms predict properties from given trends down the group. Independent Study suggestions.
