Task  Complete the table Element Electrons in 1st shell Electrons in 2nd shell Electrons in 3rd shell Electrons in 4th shell Group in periodic table hydrogen10001 lithium21 sodium magnesium20 neon8 sulfur80 calcium22 Q. What is the connection between the number of outer electrons and the group? © Mr Morton Science 2013

15. H OW REACTIVE ARE GROUP 1 METALS ? Metal How reactive is it? (1-3). 1 = The most reactive, 3 = least reactive Sodium Lithium Potassium

16. Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in the outer shell. All group 1 metals have __ electron in their outer shell These elements have __ electrons in their outer shell These elements have __ electrons in their outer shells

17. As you move down through the periods an extra electron shell is added. Lithium has 3 electrons in the configuration 2,1 Potassium has 19 electrons in the configuration __,__,__,__ Sodium has 11 electrons in the configuration __,__,__ All of the elements in the same group have similar properties.

18. The number of electrons in the outermost shell is the same as it’s GROUP number. The number of shells is the same as it’s PERIOD number.

20. LithiumSodium Potassium Reactivity increases

21. 1) Copy and complete the paragraph in your books using the words below. electrons, energy, group, nucleus, shells The electrons in an atom are arranged around the …………. in ………….. (energy levels). The electrons further away from the nucleus have more ………….. than those close to the nucleus. All elements in the same …………. of the periodic table have the same number of ……………. in their outermost shell. 2) Draw the arrangement of electrons in the following atoms and label each one with its electronic structure. a) Be b) B c) P d) Ar

22. 3) Use the electron arrangements below to draw an atom, then use the periodic table on the back page of the textbooks to work out which element it is. A.2,7 B.2,8,2 C.2,8,6 D.2,4 E. 2,8,4 4) Why does the reactivity of the group one metals increase as you go down the group?
