HOLY MOLY WE HAVE A TEST Flashcards
Who organized the periodic table?
Dimitri Mendeleev
What are the horizontal rows of the periodic table called?
Periods
What are the columns of the periodic table called and how much are there?
Families, 1-18
How is the periodic table organized?
organized according to physical and chemical properties. Each element contains its atomic number, symbol, ion charge, and average atomic mass
What are elements?
Pure substances that cant be broken down or separated into other substances
How did Dimitri Mendeleev organize them
wrote them on separate cards including density, colour, melting and boiling point
What is the Atomic Number?
Number or protons in the nucleus, always a whole number
What is the atomic mass?
Average mass of the elements atom, always a decimal, increases with atomic number
What is the Ion Charge?
electric charge when an atom gains/loses electrons
What is an ion?
an electrically charge atom
Left side of the table
usually positive
Right side of the table
Usually negative
Elements in same column form ion with elements that have the same charge?
Yes
what types of elements are on the left and middle of the table?
Metals
What type of elements are in the upper right corner?
Non-Metals
What type of elements are form a staircase leading towards the lower right corner?
Metalloids
What do chemical families have in common?
They have similar chemical properties
Tell me About Alkali Metals?
First group, highly reactive, react with oxygen and water, low melting points, soft
Tell me about Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2, very reactive but less than alkali metals, react with water, produce bright flames (fireworks), will burn air if heated
Tell me about Halogens
Group 17, non-metals, highly reactive, fluorine and chlorine are gases at room temp, iodine is solid at room temp, bromine is liquid at room temp
Tell me about noble gases
Used in lights, at room temp they’re colourless and odourless, most stable and unreactive, some glow
How do you find the amount of neutrons in an atom
atomic mass - atomic number #
Who do metalloids share the same properties with?
metals and non metals
