The periodic table
Elements in the periodic table are arranged by their atomic number, which is determined by the
number of protons each element contains. Using this rule gives rise to groups of e_________
with similar chemical and physical properties. There are eight distinct groups of elements, for
example group one elements are the reactive alkaline metals. There are also 30 elements known
as the transitional metals. There are five periods or r______. Each element has its own unique
symbol which is used all over the World to save time. Find the symbols for the following
elements: Sodium, Gold, Iron, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Neon ?

All materials, compounds or chemicals are made from matter. All matter is made
from atoms of elements. There are just over 100 elements in the periodic table that
combine together in different ways to give rise to all the different types of

Understanding materials two
Each element has an internationally recognised s_______ and unique atomic and mass number.
Atoms of different elements like sodium (reactive group I metal) and chlorine (reactive group VII
non metal gas) are all made from three identical sub atomic particles. Elements are made from
electrons, protons and neutrons. The only difference between elements is the number of each sub
atomic particle. Therefore, the number of electrons, protons and neutrons each element contains
determines all their physical and chemical properties. What makes a reactive metal like sodium,
simply 11 electrons and protons and 12 neutrons. What makes a reactive g____ like chlorine,
simply 17 electrons and protons and 20 neutrons and that’s it !!

Most of the elements in the periodic table are m_______, but what about the non metals. Some
are solids like carbon and sulphur, some are liquid like bromine, but most are gases like nitrogen,
oxygen and chlorine. C________ is found in all fuels and biological molecules. Many of the
gaseous elements are found in our atmosphere, for example oxygen which is essential for
respiration and combustion of compounds containing carbon. The halogens including chlorine
and iodine all have antiseptic properties. The Noble gases which includes helium are a family of
un-reactive gases. Are there any exceptions to these general properties for non metals ?

Understanding metal alloys
Metals in their pure form are often not as useful as metal alloys. Alloys are mixtures of different
m________ that give an alloy its useful and unique properties. In iron, all the atoms are the same,
because iron is an element. In a metal alloy like steel, all the atoms are not the same. Steel
contains iron atoms, carbon atoms and other metals atoms like chromium and nickel. Iron the
pure element, is like any other metal, but it rusts combining readily with o________ and water.

Compounds one
Atoms of elements rarely exist in their pure form, because atoms of elements like to
transfer, gain or share electrons during the formation of stable compounds. Apart from
g_____, nitrogen and the noble gases, most elements are joined to other elements in
compounds. A compound contains two or more different types of elements joined together
by a chemical bond. These c__________ can either be ionic or covalent. Compounds
always have a formula which tells us the type and number of atoms they contain.

Compounds two
Apart from the Noble gases (Helium, Neon, Argon & Krypton), all elements have partially
filled outer electron shells. The Noble gases are very un-reactive because they have
f_____ shells. Other elements would also like to have full shells or the same electronic
configuration as the Noble gases. They can do this by either losing, gaining or sharing
e_________ with other elements when they form compounds.

Ions and Ionic compounds
Metals react with non-metals to form ionic compounds. The formation of an ionic bond
involves the transfer of electrons from metal elements to non metal elements. Metals have
usually just one or two e_________ in their outer shell. During the reaction, these outer
electrons are t__________ from the metal atom to the non metal atom forming ions.
Metals form positively charged ions and non-metals form negatively charged ions. After
the reaction, both metal and non metal ions have the electronic configuration of the Noble
gases. They are said to be stable. Name five ionic compounds of the metal magnesium?

Reactions forming Ionic compounds
Metals atoms want to lose electrons whilst non metal atoms want to gain electrons. They do this
to become like Noble gases having a full o_______ shell. When electrons are transferred from
metals to non metals during a c__________ reaction, the ions are oppositely charged. These
oppositely charged ions attract each other very strongly, for example the melting point of many

Building ionic crystals
Ions of atoms build crystals. The structure extends itself in all directions, giving the
crystal a regular arrangement of ions called a lattice. For sodium chloride, the ions
arrange themselves alternatively in all three d___________. This gives sodium
chloride crystals a cubic shape. All ionic solids have similar ionic structures to
sodium chloride. Did you know you can grow your own crystals using a small seed

chemical properties. Mostly, they are highly soluble in water and have a crystalline
structure under the m__________. Ionic compounds of the transitional metals like copper

of attraction between the ions. Property four: When molten or in ionic solutions, ionic compounds can

General rules for ionic compounds
There are several rules that help you to understand what happens to the a_____ and
their electrons during the formation of ionic compounds. Remember for atoms to be
stable they either need to lose of gain electrons to empty or fill their outer shells,
therefore having the same electronic configuration as the Noble gases. Ions of atoms
are very stable and once formed do not easily revert back to their a________
electronic configuration. That’s why we have so many compounds and very few
elements found in their natural state.

Covalent bonding
Non metals can also react with other non metal atoms to form covalent compounds. The
formation of covalent compounds involves the sharing of electrons between non-metal
atoms. During the reaction, non metal atoms fill their outer shells by sharing electrons
from other non metal atoms. They are said to be stable. The shared electrons form the
c_________ bond which holds together the atoms in molecules. We find covalent bonding

Summary of the behaviour of elements
The table below gives a summary of the behaviour of atoms found in the eight different
g_______ in the periodic table. All metals form positive ions and all non-metals form negative
ions. Only non metals form covalent compounds. Only the Noble gases (group 8) do not
participate in chemical reactions because they are stable with full shells.
