Q

Group (Families)

A
  • The vertical columns on the periodic table
  • There are 18 groups
  • Groups have similar chemical and physical properties
25
Q

Periods

A
  • The horizontal rows on the periodic table
  • There are 7 periods
  • Each period has the same number of energy levels
26
Q

Properties

A
  • Elements have certain properties / characteristics depending on whether they are a metal, non-metal or metalloid
  • Metals are on the left of the staircase
  • Non-metals are on the right
  • Metal are along the staircase
27
Q

Properties of Metals

A
  • Solid at room temperature (1 exemption: mercury)
  • Good conductors of heat and electricity
  • Shiny in appearance; can be polished
  • Malleable: can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets
  • Ductile: they can be stretched into a wire
28
Q

Properties of Non-Metal

A
  • Can be solid, liquid, or gas at room temperature
  • Poor conductors of heat and electricity
  • Dull in appearance
  • Brittle: breaks when hammered
  • Not ductile
29
Q

Metalloids

A

Share some properties of both metals and nonmetals

30
Q

Alkali Metals

A
  • Metals in the first column or group 1
  • With the exception of francium, these metals are very soft and shiny and silvery
  • These elements react vigorously, event violently, with water and must be stored in oil to prevent contact with the moisture in the air
31
Q

Alkaline - Earth Metals

A

Metals in the second column of group 2
These elements are shiny, silver but not as soft as the alkali metals
Their compounds tend to be white

32
Q

Halogens

A
  • The reactive nonmetals in group 17 of the periodic table
  • These elements are so reactive that they are never found as elements in nature
33
Q

Noble Gases

A
  • Elements belonging to group 18
  • These elements are very unreactive
34
Q

Subatomic Particles

A
  • Protons
  • Neutrons
  • Electrons
35
Q

Atomic Mass

A
  • The mass of an average atom of the element
  • The total number of protons and neutrons
  • Protons and neutrons gather together in the nucleus of the atom
  • This number may be slightly different depending on which periodic table you are looking at.
36
Q

Calculating th emost common number of neutrons in an atom

A
  • Atomic mass on the periodic table is the most common (average) mass of one atom of that element (they can vary)
  • The number of protons never changes and is the same as the atomic number

Number of neutrons = atomic mass - atomic number

37
Q

Isotopes

A

Since the number of neutrons can vary, atoms of the same substance with different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes

38
Q

Charge

A
  • Atoms have no net charge
  • The number of protons = the number of electrons
  • The atomic number tells you how many electrons and protons are in an atom
39
Q

Electron Clould

A
  • Space in which electrons orbit the nucleus at high speed
  • Within the clouds are energy levels
40
Q

Energy Levels

A
  • Areas where electrons orbit the nucleus
  • Each level can fit a certain number of electrons (octet rule)
41
Q

Valence Electron

A

Electrons in the outer energy level are known as valence electrons. Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.

42
Q

Ions

A
  • Atoms want to have a stable (full) outer energy level
  • To become stable the atoms will gain or lose (whichever is easiest) valence electrons to ensure their outer level is full
  • These electrons are transferred to other ions (forming compounds)
  • Gain or loss of electrons causes the atom to have a charge
43
Q

Positive Ions

A
  • When an ion loses electrons it becomes positively charged
    - All metals are
    positively charged
    - Positively charged ions
    are called cations (cats
    have paws)
44
Q

Negative Ions

A
  • When an ion gains electrons it becomes negatively charged
    - All non-metals are
    negatively charged
    - Negatively charged
    ions are called anions
45
Q

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC)

A

The group responsible for naming compound

46
Q

Molecular Compounds

A
  • Are formed when 2 or more nonmetals share electrons in their outer energy level to become stable
  • The bonds formed when electrons are shared are called covalent bonds
  • The bond formed is not as strong as an ionic bond
47
Q

Molecular Elements

A
  • Form molecules made up of only one type of atom
  • Have the same name as the element
  • The special seven
48
Q

The Special Seven

A
  • These seven elements form diatomic molecules when they are individually writing (H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2)
  • Two other polyatomic molecules are sulphur (S8) and phosphorous (P4)
49
Q

Ionic Compounds

A
  • Formed when electrons are transferred from a metal to a non-metal
  • Creates an ionic bond between a cation (positive ion) and an anion (negative ion)
  • Cations donate electrons to anions as they form a molecule
  • The ratio of positive charges to negative charges must be zero
50
Q

Polyatomic Ions

A
  • Ions made up of a group of atoms acting as ONE UNIT
  • Held together with covalent bonds
51
Q

Multivalent Elevents

A
  • Multivalent elements form ions that can have more than charge

  • The first charge listed in the most common
