IGCSE Chemistry Cambridge CIE - Atomic structure and the Periodic table

Designed for the new specification IGCSE CIE (Cambridge) course but can be used for other examination boards.

Powerpoint presentation covers:

Core
1-Describe the structure of the atom as a central nucleus containing neutrons and protons surrounded by electrons in shells
2-State the relative charges and relative masses of a proton, a neutron and an electron
3-Define proton number / atomic number as the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
4-Define mass number / nucleon number as the total number of protons and neutrons in the
nucleus of an atom
5-Determine the electronic configuration of elements and their ions with proton number 1 to
20, e.g. 2,8,3
6-State that:
(a) Group VIII noble gases have a full outer shell
(b) the number of outer shell electrons is equal to the group number in Groups I to VII
© the number of occupied electron shells is equal to the period number

Contains examination style questions and tasks for pupils to complete.
