Groups (Families)

Question 1

columns on table

Answer 1

they all have similar properties

Question 2

periods (rows)

Answer 2

represent energy levels

Question 3

valence electrons

Answer 3

the electrons left over on the last energy ring

Question 4

D & F block, no valence electrons

Answer 4

*back-fill
*introduce more electrons on previously filled energy levels

Question 5

Octet Rule

Answer 5

atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to become stable (a noble gas)

Question 6

Alkali Metals

Answer 6

*First Column
*basic react with h2o to form hydroxides
*highly reactive
*soft silver metals

Question 7

Alkaline Metals

Answer 7

2nd column
shiny, solids harder
found combined with oxygen
Very reactive

Question 8

Transition metals

Answer 8

columns 3-12
hard solids mostly with high melting points
all form cation (+ charge)
can have multiple charges (C1 or C2)

Question 9

column 13

Answer 9

Boron family (first element in row)

Group 14

Answer 10

Carbon Family

Question 11

Group 15

Answer 11

Nitrogen Family

Question 12

Group 16

Answer 12

Chalcogene

Question 13

Group 17

Answer 13

Halogens (salt farmers)
form ionic compounds
highly reactive
can’t be found in nature

Question 14

Group 18

Answer 14

Nobles gases

Question 15

4f

Answer 15

Lanthanides

Question 16

5f

Answer 16

Actinides

Question 17

Metals

Answer 17

good conductors
malleable
ductile
shiny
solids
high melting points
lose electrons when bonding

Question 18

Non metals

Answer 18

Poor conductors
non ductile
non malleable
full
low melting points
can be solid liquid or gas
gain electrons while bonding

Question 19

metalloids

Answer 19

has properties of both metals and non
good semiconductors
