M6 Deck - The Periodic Table

Question 1

Who is Dmitri Mendeleev

Answer 1

A german scientist who published a periodic table in 1869

Question 2

What was Mendeleev’s Period Table based on?

Answer 2

It was based on the similarity of properties and reactivities exhibited by certain elements

Question 3

Who is Henri Mossley?

Answer 3

English scientists who established a periodic table based on number in 1887 to 1915

Question 4

What are groups? (aka families)

Answer 4

coloumns of elements going horizontally numbered 1 to 7 and 0.

Question 5

What do elements in groups share?

Answer 5

they share the same number of electrons.

Question 6

What are periods?

Answer 6

rows of elements going vertically numbered 1 to 7.

Question 7

What do elements in periods share?

Answer 7

they share the same number of electron shells.

Question 8

What are the three classes of elements?

Answer 8

the 3 classes are metals, non-metals and mettaloids

Question 9

Where are metals located on the periodic table?

Answer 9

they are located to the left of the zig-zag line

Question 10

What are chemical properties of metals?

Answer 10

they have few electrons in their outer energy level so they lose electrons easily.

Question 11

What are physical properties of metals?

Answer 11

they are Ductile and good Conductors, Malleable, Shiny and are most Solid at Room temperature.

Question 12

Where are Non-Metals located on the periodic table?

Answer 12

they are to the right of the zig-zag line

Question 13

What are the chemical properties of non-metals?

Answer 13

they have full outer energy levels so they gain electrons and most have some but some have all.

Question 14

What are the physical properties of non-metals?

Answer 14

they are not Ductile, Malleable, not Shiny are poor Conductors. they are most solid at room temperature, but some are gas at room temperature

Question 15

Where are the Metalloids located on the periodic table?

Answer 15

they border the zigzag line on the periodic table

Question 16

What are chemical properties of metalloids?

Answer 16

most atoms have 1/2 (one half) of a complete set of electrons in the outer level

Question 17

What are the physical properties of metalloids?

Answer 17

they have properties of both metals and non-metals.

Question 18

To the left, center and right is which physical state on the periodic table?

Answer 18

Solid is to the left, center and right.

Question 19

To the middle and on the right is which physical state on the periodic table?

Answer 19

Liquids are in the middle and on the right.

Question 20

To the far right (except hydrogen) is which physical property on the periodic table?

Answer 20

Gases are on the far right (except hydrogen)

Question 21

Which two chemicals are liquids at room temperature

Answer 21

Bromine and Mercury become liquids at room temperature

Question 22

What are the 7 groups/families of the periodic table?

Answer 22

Alkali Metals
Alkaline Earth Metals
Carbon Family
Nitrogen Family
Oxygen Family
Halogen Family
Nobel Gases

Question 23

Alkali Metals (G 1)

Answer 23

are the most reactive metals and are always found Bonded with other elements.

Question 24

Alkaline Earth Metals (G 2)

Answer 24

are very reactive and are always found Bonded with other elements

Question 25

Carbon Family

Answer 25

contain metals and metalloids; carbon is found in all living things.

Question 26

Nitrogen Family

Answer 26

contains metals, non-metals and metalloids.
nitrogen is found in the air

Question 27

Oxygen Family

Answer 27

is very reactive; all animals breath in oxygen.

Question 28

Halogen Family (G 7)

Answer 28

very reactive and always found Combined with other elements in nature.

Question 29

Nobel Gases (G 0)

Answer 29

very stable and not reactive
all noble gases are found in the air

Question 30

What are ten groups of elements between groups 2 and 3 called?

Answer 30

they are called transition elements/ metals

Question 31

Moving down a group, the metallic nature of an element

Answer 31

the metallic nature increases going down a group

Question 32

Moving down a group, the non-metallic nature of an element

Answer 32

the non-metallic nature decreases going down a group

Question 33

Moving along a period, the metallic nature of the elements

Answer 33

the metallic element decreases moving LEFT and the non-metallic increases moving RIGHT.

Question 34

What is an ion?

Answer 34

an ion is an electrically charged particle formed when an atom loses or gains electrons. (ionised)
