Who are Mrs Reed’s children, and what are they like?

Mrs Reed’s children are John, Georgiana, and Eliza. They are spoiled and can be cruel.

Who is Bessie? Bessie is a servant who cares about and is kind to Jane, even though she scolds her sometimes.

Literary features and contextWhat is a Bildungsroman? A Bildungsroman is a novel that follows the

protagonist’s growth and education from childhood to maturity.

What is an internal monologue? An internal monologue is like a conversation with

yourself; it’s the voice in your head, the thoughts you think in words but don’t say out loud

What is a construct? Characters are constructs, which means that they

are made up by the writer and made to be certain

ways in order to express something. They are not just copied from life.

What is juxtaposition? Juxtaposition is setting two things side by side so

that the difference between them becomes clearer, often to make a point.

When did Charlotte Brontë live and when did she write Jane Eyre?

Charlotte Brontë: 1816-1855. Jane Eyre: 1847

What aspects of her own life did she draw on in Jane Eyre?

Charlotte Brontë lived a secluded and sometimes

isolated life on the Yorkshire moors. Two of her

sisters died of tuberculosis at Cowan Bridge School,

which Lowood is based on. Brontë also worked as a teacher for a time.

PlotCh 1 What happens at the start of the novel? The prologue outlines the main conflict in the play and warns the audience of the

Year 9 – Science – Autumn 2 – C3.1 Part b – The Periodic Table

# Question Answer # Question Answer

1Who was responsible for developing the current Periodic Table?

Mendeleev. 10What are the properties of the alkali metals?

Very reactive, soft, relative low melting points.

2Why did fellow scientists refuse to accept Newland’s law of octaves?

He did not take into account scientists were discovering new elements.

hydrogen and become more reactive as you go down the group.

3How did Mendeleev persuade other scientists his Periodic table was correct?

Left gaps for undiscovered elements. 12Why are alkali metals more reactive as you go down the group?

Outer electron further from nucleus, weaker attraction, more easily lost.

4 How did Mendeleev order his elements? In terms of atomic masses. 13What are the colour trends in the halogens as you go down group 7?

They become darker.

5 How are elements now ordered? In terms of atomic numbers. 14What are the melting point trends in the halogens as you go down group 7?

The have higher melting points, due to

them having more intermolecular forces of attraction.

6How is atomic structure linked to position in the Periodic Table?

The number of electrons in the outer shell = group number, number of shells = period.
