9. N Nitrogen-14 14 14 14 2 8 4 0

10. 14 14

11. Ca Calcium 20 20 20 2 8 8 2

12. Li Lithium 3 3 4 2 1 0 0

13. What is the correct electron arrangement for atoms of phosphorus?

a) 2 / 8 / 5 b) 5 / 5 / 5 c) 15 / 0 / 0 d) 2 / 8 / 8

14. How many electrons are in the valence shell (outer shell) of an element with an atomic number
of 20?

a) 2 b) 4 c) 8 d) 20

15. How many neutrons are in an atom of chlorine-35?

a) 17 b) 18 c) 35 d) 3

16. How many protons are in an atom of aluminum-27?

a) 27 b) 14 c) 13 d) 3

17. Write the chemical formula and name for the compound formed when Mg and F bond.
Mg+ F = Magnesium Fluoride

18. State the reactivity trend as you move down a group of metals then explain why this is the case.
The reactivity increases as it needs less and less electrons to fill up its valence shell, therefore they will get
electrons from the atom with less electrons.

19. State the reactivity trend as you move down a group of non-metals then explain why this is the case.

21. Draw the Bohr-Rutherford diagrams for Ca and Cl. Then show why they form an ionic bond. Be sure to
state which is the anion and which is the cation.
