Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
The periodic table
- 3 things to know
- Chemistry Paper 1
Overview
Elements arranged by atomic number, groups as columns of similar elements, why the table is periodic, how outer electrons give the group number and similar chemical properties, how occupied shells give the period, predicting reactions from position, and drawing and writing electronic structures for elements such as potassium, calcium, aluminium and oxygen.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
In what order are the elements arranged in the periodic table?
Model answer
They are arranged in order of atomic number, which is the number of protons.
- 2
What is a group in the periodic table?
Model answer
A group is a column of elements that have similar properties.
- 3
Why is the table of elements described as periodic?
Model answer
Because similar properties recur at regular intervals as you move through the elements in order.
- 4
What do all the elements in one group have in common in their electron arrangement?
Model answer
They have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
- 5
Explain why elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Model answer
Because their atoms have the same number of outer electrons, and it is the outer electrons that take part in reactions.
- 6
An element has the electronic structure 2,8,2. Which group is it in?
Model answer
It is in Group 2, because it has two outer electrons.
