| Question | Answer |
| How did Newland and Mendeleev arrange the elements? | By atomic mass |
| What do the groups contain? | Elements with similar properties. |
| Why was the atomic mass order incorrect? | Some elements were in inappropriate groups for their properties. |
| What did Mendeleev do that was innovative? | Left gaps for undiscovered elements. |
| How have elements been ordered since the early 20th century? | By the atomic number (proton number) |
| What is important about elements found in the same group? | They have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. |
| What are elements in group 1 called? | Alkali Metals |
| What is the charge of group 1 metal ions? | +1 |

| What colour are group 1 salt solutions? | Colourless |
| What are the products when group 1 elements are reacted with water? | Metal hydroxide + hydrogen |
| How does reactivity change down group 1? And why does it change like this? | Increases, because the outer electron is more easily lost. |
| How does the melting point change down group 1 elements? | Gets lower. |
| Give three differences between transition metals and group 1 elements. | Transition metals have a higher boiling point (except from mercury). Transition metals are stronger and harder. Transition metals are less reactive. |
| What colour are transition metal salts? | Various colours |
| Give a use for transition metals. | Catalysts |
| What are group 7 elements called? | Halogens |
| What charge is on halide ions? | -1 |
| How does reactivity change down group 7? And why does it change like this? | It decreases, because it becomes harder to gain an electron to complete a full outer shell. |
| How does the melting point change down group 7? | it increases. |

| In what unit is energy measured in? | Joules |
| For what reactions can this be used for? | Reactions with solids and and neutralisation reactions. |
| Which type of reaction has reactants of higher energy than its products? | Exothermic. |
| What type of reaction has products at a higher energy than the reactants? | Endothermic |
| What process in a reaction needs energy to be supplied? | Bond breaking |
| During which process in a reaction is energy released? | Bond forming |
| What makes a reaction exothermic? | Energy released from forming bonds is greater than the energy needed to break the bonds. |
| What makes a reaction endothermic? | Energy needed to break the bonds is greater than the energy released from forming bonds. |
| How do catalysts work? | They provide a different pathway with a lower activation energy. |

| How do we measure the amount of acid and alkali in a reaction? | using titration and a suitable indicator. |
| For what do we use titration results? | To calculate the concentration of one reactant from the knowledge of the other concentration. |
| What are the raw materials for the Haber process? | Nitrogen and hydrogen |
| Where does nitrogen come from? | The air(fractional distillation) |

| What happens to the nitrogen and hydrogen? | Recycled |
| When is equilibrium reached? | When the reactions occur at the exact same rate. |
| What happens to the yield of ammonia at high temperatures? | Decreases as the endothermic reaction takes place more due to taking in the heat. |
| What happens to the yield of ammonia at high pressures? | Increases as the reaction favours the direction producing the least molecules. |
