H Li Be B C N O
F Na Mg Al Si P S
Cl K Ca Cr Ti Mn Fe
Newlands’ periodic table arranged all the known elements into columns in order of their atomic weight.
Newlands was trying to show a pattern by putting the elements into columns.

M1. (a) (i) B 1
(ii) E 1
(iii) F 1
(iv) D 1
(v) C 1
(b) (i) Br do not accept BR or br or bR ignore numbers allow written in table if answer blank 1
(ii) I Br Cl allow iodine, bromine, chlorine allow I,B,C allow capitals or lower case allow 184, 58, -34 ignore numbers 1
(c) they are halogens 1
they become less reactive down Group 7
Page 9 Stockland Green School 1 [9]
M2. low density 1
form hydroxides that dissolve in water 1
react quickly with water four ticks – max 2 marks five ticks – max 1 mark all boxes ticked – 0 marks 1 [3]
M3. (a) transition elements 1
(b) These metals do not react with air 1
These metals do not react with water 1 [3]
M4. (a) (i)

or 1
allow any arrangement of electrons on the shells accept o, x, - or e as representing electrons
(ii) nucleus accept nucleus (protons plus neutrons) do not accept protons plus neutrons on its own allow nuclei / nucles / neucleus / phonetic spelling do not accept neutron 1
(b) it has 2 more neutrons or converse accept ‘it has more neutrons’ or ‘different number of neutrons’ for 1 mark ‘2 more protons / electrons + correct number of neutrons’ = max 1 mark
or
O-16 has 8 neutrons (1 mark)(*)
O-18 has 10 neutrons (1 mark)(*) (*)if incorrectly calculated but shows more neutrons in 0-18 allow for 1 mark accept it has more particles or it has 2 more particles for 1 mark ignore any reference to charges just 2 more without reference to particles = 0 marks 2 [4]
M5.(a) (iron) is a metal
Page 11 Stockland Green School accept transition element allow (iron) had different properties (to oxygen and sulfur) ignore electrons 1
(b) so that elements with similar properties could be placed together allow to make the pattern fit ignore undiscovered elements 1
(c) atomic number(s) allow proton number(s) 1
(d) all have one electron in the outer shell (highest energy level) allow same number of electrons in the outer shell (highest energy level) 1
(so they) have similar properties or react in the same way allow specific reactions e.g. with water 1 [5]
M6. (a) protons (and) neutrons both needed for 1 mark ignore p / + and n / 0 do not accept electrons 1
(b) because the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons allow protons and electrons balance / cancel out allow positive / + and negative / - balance / cancel out 1
Page 12 Stockland Green School (c) it = atom A
because atom A has a full highest energy level or full outer shell allow all the shells are full or no incomplete shell
or because atom A has a stable arrangement of electrons allow because atom A is in Group 0 / a noble gas 1
(d) (atom) B / lithium / Li (and)
(atom) C / sodium / Na both needed for 1 mark 1
because they have the same number/one outer electron(s) linked to answer for first mark accept because both need to lose one / an electron allow because (atoms) B and C are in Group 1 / the same group / are alkali metals 1
