Semester One
Part1: Write T if its true or F if its false:
1. The elements are grouped together in a special chart called the periodic
table of all the elements. T
2. The elements on the periodic table are listed in order of ascending
atomic number. T
3. Metals are in the upper right-hand corner of the periodic table, all other
elements are non-metals. F
4. Isotopes of an element contain different numbers of neutrons. T
5. The atomic mass unit (u) is a unit that describes the sizes of individual
atoms and molecules. F
6. The atomic mass is the weighted average of the masses of all isotopes of
an element. T
7. The molecular mass is the sum of the masses of the atoms in a molecule.
T
8. The highest-numbered shell is called the valence shell .T
9. The valence electrons largely control the chemistry of an atom. T
10.. Elements in each column have the same valence shell electron
configurations. T
[Link] refer to the horizontal rows of the periodic table. T
[Link] metals and alkaline earth metals belong to p-blocks. F
[Link] metals belong to s—blocks. F
[Link] and actinides are part of d- blocks. F
[Link] filled energy level increases with period. T
[Link] number of electrons in the suborbital increases with each period in
the block. F
[Link] has an electron configuration 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, and 3d 6.
The highest occupied electron shell is 4, so the period number is 4. The
number of valence electrons is 8 (no p-valence electrons), so the group
number is 8. T
[Link] has an electron configuration 1s2, 2s2, 2p1. The highest occupied
electron shell is 2, so the period number is 2. F
[Link] is located in the second column of the s block. We would expect that
its electron configuration should end with s2. T
[Link] element has its own atomic mass, which is equal to the number of
protons in its nucleus. F
Part2: Do all these questions
1. The number of protons in the nucleus of a tin atom is 50, while the
number of neutrons in the nucleus is 68. What are the atomic number
and the mass number of this isotope?
2. What is the molecular mass of each substance?
1. NBr3
2. C2 H6 Solution
3. Write the expended electron configurations of each of the following
atoms.
