Nucleus
Atomic Number
The number of protons and electrons in the atom.
Atomic Mass
The average number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
Element
A pure substance consisting only of one type of atom that all have the same numbers of protons in their nucleus. (Cannot be broken down into simpler substances).
Compound
A chemical substance is composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds.
Transition Metals
Properties:
- High melting and boiling points
- Solid at room temp
- Physical properties like metals
- Chemical properties like non-metals
Halogens
Properties:
- Highly Reactive
- Low Melting and Boiling Points
- Reactivity decreases down the table group.
- Exist as diatomic molecules.
Noble Gases
Properties:
- Unreactive non-metal gases
- Low density
- Non-flammable
- Low boiling points
- Bp and density increase down the group
Alkali Metals
Properties:
- Low melting and boiling points
- Very soft
- React with water to produce a metal OH- solution and hydrogen gas
- Reactivity increases down the group
- All are highly reactive
Alkaline Earth Metals
- All shiny
- Low melting and boiling points
- Reactivity increases down the group.
- React with halogens to form ionic salts.
- All apart from beryllium react with water to form OH-.
Alkali Metals trend
Increases reactivity down the group.
Alkaline Earth Metals trend
Increases reactivity down the group.
