The Periodic Table
  1. Mass no.
    1. The no. of protons + the no. of neutrons
    2. The atom
      1. The smallest unit that can take part in an ordinary chemical reaction
      2. Proton no.
        1. The no. of protons which is equal to the no. of electrons in a neutral atom.
        2. Core electrons
          1. Electrons found in the energy shell closest to the nucleus.
          2. Valence electrons
            1. Electrons found in the outermost energy shell of an atom
            2. Alkali Metals (Group 1)
              1. Soft
                1. Conduct electricity
                  1. Free electrons to carry charge
                  2. Reactivity increases DOWN the group
                    1. Atomic radius is increasing, electron has to travel further to reach nucleus
                    2. Melting and boiling point increase up the group
                      1. Atomic radius increasing ,weaker bonds between electron shells
