- Q2What was the order of Mendeleev's periodic table?atomic numberatomic weightatomic masselectron number30s
- Q3How did Mendeleev arrange his elements?He left gaps for undiscovered elements and he arranged elements due to their similar chemical propertiesBy looking at chemical experiments of everything30s
- Q4What is an isotope?an isotope has the same mass number but different atomic numberan isotope is a version of an element with the same atomic number so the same number of protons and electrons but a different mass number because of a different number of neutrons30s
- Q5What is the order of the modern periodic table?Increasing atomic numberincreasing atomic weight30s

- Q13what is the maximum number of electrons that can be held in the first shell of an atom?642830s
- Q14What is the maximum number of electrons that can be held in every shell after the first shell?286430s
- Q15How do you work out the number of electrons on an atom?You look at the atomic number which is the smallest number in the box in the periodic table.You look at the mass number which is the massive number in the box in the periodic table30s
