Atomic structure and the periodic table

Part of Combined Science

  • Atomic structure and the periodic table

    • Atoms, elements and compounds - AQA

      Chemists use symbols and formulae to represent elements and compounds. Word equations and balanced chemical equations represent the changes that happen in chemical reactions.

    • Mixtures - AQA

      There are different ways to separate mixtures, such as filtration, crystallisation, simple distillation, fractional distillation and chromatography. The method chosen depends on the type of mixture.

    • Atomic structure - AQA

      Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. The numbers of subatomic particles in an atom can be calculated from its atomic number and mass number.

    • The periodic table - AQA

      Mendeleev made an early periodic table. In the modern periodic table, elements are in order of atomic number in periods and groups. Electronic structures model how electrons are arranged in atoms.

    • Groups in the periodic table - AQA

      Elements in the same group of the periodic table show trends in physical properties, such as boiling point. They have the same number of electrons in their outer shell, so similar chemical properties.

    • Sample exam questions - atomic structure and the periodic table - AQA

      Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
