1
Q
What is the period table of elements?
What does the staircase represent?
A
- Is a visual representation of the elements in groups according to their physical and chemical properties.
- Separates metals from non-metals
2
Q
- The atomic number
- Atomic mass
- Proton
- Electron
- Neutron
A
- The number of protons in the nucleaus of an atom. Distinguishes 1 element from another.
- The mass of an atom of an element measured in atomic mass unit
- Atomic particles found in a nucleus. Carries positive nucleaus charge
- atomic particles that is negatively charged
- Found in the nucleaus and has no electrical charge
3
Q
- Proton = p+
- Electrons =e-
- Neutrons= n•
A
- Atomic number: p+=e-
- Atomic mass: p+-n•
- n•=atomic mass-atomic number (bottom #-top#)

Q
7 Characteristics of metals
(non-metals are exact opposite)
A
- Lustrous
- Malleable
- Ductile
- Soilid at room temperature
- Conducts heat
- Conducts electricity
- Left of staircase of P.T
7
Q
- What are metalloids?
- Name 4 important metalloids
A
Metalloids have both characteristics of metals and non-metals
- Boron
- Silicon
- Germanium
- Arsenine
8
Q
- How many groups in the periodic table?
- Each column is called a group or family because they have the same characteristics
- What is a family/column
- What is period/row
A
- 18 groups
- A family/column are the roman numerals in the front of A or B that represent the number of valence electrons
- A period/row represents the number of electrons shells
9
Q
Name and describe all 8 families of the periodic table
A
- Alkali Metals :1 Valent electron,found naturally in compounds,highly reactive…
- Alkaline-Earth Metals: 2 valent electrons, highly mealleable and reactive. Burns easily in presence of heat
- Boron Family: 3 valent electrons.
- Carbon Family: 4 valent electrons
- Nitrogen Family: 5 valent electrons
- Oxygen Family: 6 valent electrons
- Halogens: 7 valent electrons. Reacts to compounds and salt. Several are disinfectants
- Inert or Noble gases: 8 valence electrons, extremely stable.
IMPORTANT: Hydrogen is in column one but is not part of alkali metals (it’s a gas)
Helium only has 2 valence electrons but is in the noble gases family
10
Q
Ball and stick model
A
11
Q
Lewis-Notation
A
- Write the symbols of the element
- Determine the number of valnce electrons by looking at the family/column
- Put dots around the symbol to represent each of the valence electrons
- HELIUM IS 2
12
Q
Bohr-Rutherford Model
A
- Draw the nucleaus and write inside the number of protons it has
- Draw the shells (cirlces) around the nucleaus (number of shells=period number)
13
Q
- What are Ions?
- Atoms lose or gain electrons because
A
- Atoms that have become electrically charged by losing or gaining one or more electrons
- They tend to want to become more stable by acquiring a full valence shell (similae to one of the noble gases)
14
Q
Ions tendiencies and family names
- Hydrogen
- Lithium
- Berilium
- Boron
- Carbon
