17
Q

How do you draw an atom?

A
  1. Find Protons and Neutrons, put in middle and circle

2. Do number of electrons on outer circle.. Remember the hotel!!!

18
Q

History of the atom?

A

First believed as earth, air, water, fire

Medeleev developed Periodic Table after rise of evidence of atoms (experiments)

19
Q

How do you find Valence Electrons?

A

Take 1s digit

20
Q

What element is mostly on the “staircase”? What are some properties?

A

Metalloids

  • Solids can be dull or shiny
  • Conduct heat and electricity better than no metals butt not as well as metals
  • Ductile and malleable
21
Q

Where are Metals located? What are some characteristics?

A

Left of “staircase”

  • Have Luster
  • conductors of elec.
  • high density
  • high melting points
  • ductile (wire)
  • most are Malleable (thin sheets)
22
Q

Where are non metals located? What are some characteristics?

A

Right of “staircase”

  • No luster
  • do not heat or elec.
  • brittle
  • non malleable
  • lower densities and lower melting points than metals
23
Q

Group 1 state of matter and chemical reactivity

A

(Alkali Metals)

  • most active metals
  • not pure naturally (bond with other elements)
  • burst into flames when in water
  • lose 1 electron when forming compounds
24
Q

Group 2 state of matter and chemical reactivity

A

(Alkaline Earth Metals)

  • less reactive than alkali metals
  • form white compounds
  • used in fireworks
  • lose 2 electrons when forming compound
25
Q

Group 17 state of matter and chemical reactivity

A

(Halogen)

  • most chemically active nonmetals
  • not found in nature, poisonous when purified
  • deadly gases
  • F, Cl, Br, I diatomic
  • gain 1 electron when forming compounds
26
Q

Group 18 state of matter and chemical reactivity

A

(Noble Gases)

  • due to full outer orbits, cannot form compounds
  • stable
  • few uses, lighting
27
Q

Air removed from marshmallow. Increases. Use the words PARTICLES and MATTER to describe what happened

A

Air particles are removed, so the matter of the marshmallow was left. Increased in size.
