chemistry Flashcards
period (rows)
How many shells an element has outside the nucleus
groups (vertical)
Tell you how many electrons in outermost layer/shell of atom
Alkali metals
Shiny, malleable very reactive explod when exposed to water stored in inter gas or oil 1 electron an outermost shell
How many electrons can fill each layer/shell (onion skin)
2.n squared
Atomic Number
Number of protons in nucleus as outer shells/layers
a.m.a ‘unified’
atomic mass unit or unified. when the atoms ‘calm’ its mass is averaged at 1.67377x10 -power of 24 grams
Zincing
propellors on boats coated in zinc - prevents corrosion
Law of conseration mass
matter can neither be created nor destroyed
hydrogen
lightest gas known to man explosive flammable colours, or colourless
matter
3 states solid, liquid or gas
