1. Arrangement of Elements

2. Describe the Periodic Table as an arrangement of elements in periods and groups and in order of increasing proton number / atomic number
3. Describe the change from metallic to non-metallic character across a period
4. Describe the relationship between group number and the charge of the ions formed from elements in that group
5. Explain similarities in the chemical properties of elements in the same group of the Periodic Table in terms of their electronic configuration
6. Explain how the position of an element in the Periodic Table can be used to predict its properties
7. Identify trends in groups, given information about the elements

16. (a) increasing density
17. (b) decreasing reactivity
18. State the appearance of the halogens at room temperature and pressure as:
19. (a) chlorine, a pale yellow-green gas
20. (b) bromine, a red-brown liquid
21. (c) iodine, a grey-black solid
22. Describe and explain the displacement reactions of halogens with other halide ions
23. Predict the properties of other elements in Group VII, given information about the elements

26. (a) have high densities
27. (b) have high melting points
28. (c) form coloured compounds
29. (d) often act as catalysts as elements and in compounds
30. Describe transition elements as having ions with variable oxidation numbers, including iron(II) and iron(III)

31. Noble Gases

32. Describe the Group VIII noble gases as unreactive, monatomic gases and explain this in terms of electronic configuration
