The number of electrons in the valence shell of any atom is the same as the (a) number at the top of each column in the periodic table.
The periods in the periodic table can be numbered from top to bottom. The number indicates the total number of (a) used by the atoms of an element.
What is the atomic number of oxygen?
(a)
What is the mass number of boron?
(a)
Give the electron configuration of chlorine. Use the format w, x, y, z where w - z are the number of electrons in each shell.
(a)
Calculate the number of neutrons found in the nucleus of an atom of chlorine. Only enter a number as your answer.
(a)
Which element is the first non-metal in period 3?
Al, aluminium
Si, silicon
P, phosphorous
S, sulphur

Which metal element is a silver liquid at room temperature? Give the symbol or the name but not both.
(a)
Which non-metal element is a brown liquid at room temperature? Give the symbol or the name but not both.
(a)
Which element is in group III (3) and period 4?
Al, aluminium
Si, silicon
Ga, gallium
Ge, germanium
Which one of the elements shown has an atomic number which is a prime number and it also has equal numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons? Answer with the symbol or the name but not both.
(a)
How good are you at using the periodic table?
I am not very confident
I do have a basic understanding but I need to review previous lessons
I am quite confident and I could answer most of the questions comfortably
