    Periodic table FAQs

    Is the periodic table given in the GCSE Chemistry exam?

    Yes. AQA, Edexcel and OCR all provide a printed periodic table in every GCSE Chemistry and Combined Science exam. You still need to know how to use it: reading atomic and mass numbers, and working out group trends.

    Which groups do I need to know for GCSE?

    Group 1 (alkali metals), Group 7 (halogens), Group 0 (noble gases) and the transition metals. Learn their properties and how reactivity changes down each group.

    What do the two numbers on each element mean?

    The smaller number is the atomic (proton) number. The larger number is the relative atomic mass. Mass minus atomic number gives the number of neutrons.
