C2.2- Bonding Flashcards
What is a physical property?
A characteristic that can be observed and measured
What are properties of metal elements?
- shiny
- their melting point + boiling point is high
- they are solid at room temperature
- they are malleable
- they are ductile
- they are good conductors
What are properties of non-metal elements
- dull
- their melting point + boiling point is low
- half are solid and half are gas at room temperature
- they are brittle
- they are non-ductile
- they are poor conductors
- they are insulators
What does malleable mean
It bends without shattering
What does brittle mean
It shatters when hammered
What does ductile mean
They can be pulled into wires
What is a conductor
Something that is able to carry electrical or thermal energy
Are metal elements on the left or right side of the periodic table
On the left
What is a chemical property?
A characteristic of a substance that can only be determined by its chemical reactions
What is an oxide
A type of compound formed when an element or compound gains oxygen
Do metal ions lose or gain electrons
They lose electrons
Do non metals lose or gain electrons
They gain electrons
What happens if a metal oxide dissolves in water
It produces an alkaline solution
What happens if a non metal oxide dissolves in water
It produces an acidic solution
What is a period in the periodic table
A horizontal row
What is a group in the periodic table
It is a vertical column
What is the electron structure?
It shows how electrons are arranged in atoms
What is the maximum number of electrons in each shell
Shell 1 - 2
Shell 2- 8
Shell 3- 8
Shell 4 - 18
What does the last number in an elements electronic structure tell us about its position in the periodic table
The last number is the GROUP NUMBER
What does the number of numbers of an elements electronic structure tell you about its position in the periodic table?
The number of numbers is the period number
What is an ion
An electrically charges particle formed when an atom loses or gains electrons
Do metals lose or gain electrons
Lose electrons
