Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between the number of valence electrons and the group number of an element on the periodic table?

  • The group number indicates the number of valence electrons for elements in that group. (correct)
  • There is no relationship between the number of valence electrons and the group number.
  • The number of valence electrons is always one less than the group number.
  • Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
  • What is the difference between a substance and a mixture?

  • Substances are always liquids or solids, while mixtures can be gases, liquids, or solids.
  • Mixtures are always homogeneous, while substances are always heterogeneous.
  • Substances have a fixed composition, while mixtures can vary in composition. (correct)
  • Substances are made up of multiple elements, while mixtures are made up of only one element.
  • Which of the following is NOT an example of a pure substance?

  • Sugar (C12H22O11)
  • Air (correct)
  • Gold (Au)

    Period (in chemistry)

    A period represents the number of orbitals of an element in the periodic table.

    Valence Electron

    Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom, involved in bonding.

    Substance

    Material with a definite composition (elements or compounds).

    Mixture

    A combination of two or more substances where each retains its properties.

    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure and Classification of Matter

    • Elements have unique atoms, the smallest unit of an element.
    • Periods represent the number of orbitals in an atom. Period 1 has 1 orbital.
    • Group IA elements have 1 valence electron in their outermost shell.
    • Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom.

    Matter Classifications

    • Matter is classified into substances and mixtures.
    • Substances are further divided into elements and compounds.
    • Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
    • Specific examples of substance types include acids, bases, and salts.
    • Elements can be metals, non-metals, or metalloids.

    Atomic Particles

    • Atoms consist of protons (+), neutrons (+/-), and electrons (-).
