When you look vertically downwards into a swimming pool full of water the bottom of the pool seems closer to you than it really is. The apparent depth at this point can be worked out using the formula:

Apparent depth = Real depth/Refractive index of water

However as you look towards the end of the pool the bottom seems to curve upwards – we are thinking about a pool of constant depth to start with.


If the depth of the pool really does change then the situation becomes more complex and you would need to allow for that when drawing the diagram

zhuklara [117]
Alkali metals: left column of your periodic table (not hydrogen, but anything below it). They have one valence electron, which they are happy to share in a reaction.

Halogens: second column from the right of your periodic table. They are one electron short of a full shell, so they are reactive in the opposite way that alkalis are--they want electrons.

Atomic number (number of protons) is the big number on the periodic table square. Hydrogen's is 1.

Atomic mass is a little number down below. For example, Hydrogen's is 1.008.

Neutrons are a tricky subject, because different isotopes of the same element can have different numbers of neutrons. You can't generally get this from the atomic mass, because the atomic mass is a weighted average of naturally occurring isotopes. Hydrogen can have 0,1, or 2 neutrons. To answer this, you'd have to choose a particular isotope from the table of isotopes (a completely different chart from the periodic table) which has a certain number of neutrons: n = weight - Z.

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell. (The column of the table).
