Q1.
The electronic structure of the atoms of five elements are shown in the figure
below.
The letters are not the symbols of the elements.
Choose the element to answer the question. Each element can be used once,
more than once or not at all.
Use the periodic table to help you.
(a) Which element is hydrogen?
Tick one box.

Q3. By 1869, about 60 elements had been discovered. Mendeleev arranged
these elements in a table, in order of their atomic weight. He put elements with
similar chemical properties in the same column. Mendeleev and part of his table are
shown below.
Column
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Li Be B C N O F
Na Mg Al Si P S Cl
