AQA GCSE Chemistry Unit 3.1

1

Who first ordered elements by atomic mass?

1

Who created the law of octaves for ordering elements?

1

Who created the modern periodic table?

1

True or false? The reason why Mendeleev's periodic table worked was because he left gaps for undiscovered elements which may have had similar properties.

1

What is unusual about the pair of elements tellurium (Te, Z = 52) and iodine (I, Z = 53)?

1

True or false? In the modern periodic table, elements are arranged by mass number.

1

True or false? Larger atoms lose electrons more easily and gain electrons less easily than smaller atoms.

1

Which of these are the most reactive in their respective groups?

1

Which of these are properties of alkali metals?

1

True or false? Caesium is less reactive than lithium as reactivity decreases going down the group.

1

What ion would you expect potassium (K) to form?

1

What do alkali metals produce on reaction with water?

1

Which of these are properties of transition metals?

1

True or false? Transition metals corrode easily.

1

What colour are copper (II) ions?

1

Which of these is the correct formula of vanadium (V) oxide?

1

Which of these are properties of the halogens?
