Periodic Table and Bonding Chemical Reactions

The Periodic Table What is a Chemical Reaction?

 Understand the key components of the
periodic table – groups/periods, atomic
symbols, atomic numbers, relative atomic
weight
 Identify five families of the periodic table:
o Alkali metals
o Alkaline earth metals
o Transition metals
o Halogen gases
o Noble gases
 State the atomic number, mass number and
electron configuration of the first 20 atoms.
 Briefly describe the role of the key scientists
involved in developing the modern day
periodic table
Bonding and electron configuration
 Predict the electron configuration for an atom
given its atomic number; using the 2, 8, 8
arrangement.
 Compare the electron configuration patterns of
the periodic table
 State the three types of bonding – metallic,
covalent, ionic
 Describe how each type of bond forms
 Describe the key properties of each bonding
type
 State the formulae for common covalent
molecules
 Write correct ionic formula
 Law of conservation of mass
 What occurs during a chemical reaction
Reaction Rate
 Describe the effect of a range of factors
on reaction rates, such as:
o Temperature
o Concentration
o Surface Area
o Catalyst
Common chemical reactions
 Describe and predict products when given
reactants and vice versa for the following
types of reactions:
o Metal + Acid
o Acid + Base
o Acid + Carbonate
o Decomposition (Thermal)
o Composition
o Synthesis/combination (Eg corrosion)
o Precipitation (and Solubility)
o Combustion
o Metal Displacement activity series
(extension)
 State the formulae for common acids,
examples hydrochloric, nitric, sulphuric,
ethanoic
 Balance chemical equations
o Extension write fully balanced
chemical equations from word
equations
