Periodic Table

Question 1

Elements

Answer 1

Substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances
These elements are found on what we call the periodic table
The periodic table is arranged with metals toward the left side and non-metals on the right side

Question 2

Malleability - Metals vs. Non-Metals

Answer 2

Metals - Malleable

Non-Metals: Brittle

Question 3

Conductivity - Metals vs. Non-Metals

Answer 3

Metals - Conductors

Non-Metals - Mostly Insulators

Question 4

Reactivity with acid - Metals vs. Non-Metals

Answer 4

Metals - Mostly yes

Non-Metals - No

Question 5

State at room temperature - Metals vs Non-Metals

Answer 5

Metals - Mostly solid

Non-Metals - Gas or solid

Question 6

Chemical Families

Answer 6

Groups of elements in the same vertical column on the periodic table

Question 7

Periods

Answer 7

Each row of elements

Question 8

Groups

Answer 8

Each column of elements with similar properties

Question 9

4 main groups

Answer 9

Alkali metals
Alkaline earth metals
Halogens
Nobel gases

Question 10

Alkali Metals

Answer 10

Group 1
Soft, shiny, silver coloured metals
React violently with water
React with halogens to form ionic compounds that are mostly white solids
Highly reactive

Question 11

Alkaline Earth Metals

Answer 11

Group 2
Light, shiny, silvery metals
Form compounds that are often insoluble
Reactive

Question 12

Halogens

Answer 12

Group 17
Non-Metals
Not lustrous (dull)
Poisonous
Non-Conductors of electricity
React readily with hydrogen and metals (Especially metals from group 1)
Highly reactive

Question 13

Noble Gases

Answer 13

18
Don’t like to react
Also called inert gases because of their non-reactivity

Question 14

Transition Metals

Answer 14

Many elements are considered to be transition metals

Are able to bond with many elements in a variety of shapes

Question 15

Periodic Table Facts

Answer 15

Atomic number
Element symbol
Element name
Atomic weight

Question 16

Proton

Answer 16

Positive charge, found in nucleus

Equal to atomic number

Question 17

Neutron

Answer 17

No charge, found in nucleus

Equal to atomic mass - atomic number

Question 18

Electron

Answer 18

Negative charge, orbits the nucleus

Question 19

Atomic Number

Answer 19

Number of protons in the nucleus

Atoms with a neutral charge have the same number of protons and electrons
