Description

In this unit, learners build on their previous knowledge of the Periodic Table, particle theory and chemical reactions to develop their knowledge of:

• the structure of an atom
• the methods and discoveries of Rutherford and other scientists
• the structures of the first twenty elements of the Periodic Table
• trends in groups and periods
• preparing some common salts by the reactions of metals or metal carbonates with acid
• writing word equations to describe reactions of metals or metal carbonates with acids.
