Periodic Table Flashcards
Improved the periodic table and arranged the elements in order of the atomic number
Henry Mosley
Arranged elements in order of atomic mass
Mendeleev
Equals the same element with different number of neutrons
Isotopes
Equals electrons in the outer energy level
Valance electrons
Equals bonding by sharing of electrons
Covalent bonding
Horizontal rows
Periods
Bonding by transferring electrons
Ionic bonds
Vertical columns
Groups
Second to last energy level
Penultimate level
Strong shiny malleable and ductile
Metals
Has one valence electron and reacts with water
Alkali
Hard, dense, found in the Earth’s crust, has two valence electrons
Alkaline earth metals
Have one or two valence electrons
Transition metals
The transition element, only one that is liquid at room temperature
Mercury
Brittle, not malleable or ductile, and do not conduct heat or electricity
Nonmetals
Most active of nonmetals
Halogens
Unreactive and inert
Noble gases
Contain properties of metals and nonmetals
Metalloids
A capital letter or a combination of a capital letter and a small letter that is used to represent an element is called a
Chemical symbol
An average of the masses of all the isotopes that occur in nature for an element is the
Average atomic mass
Elements in the middle of the periodic table, group 4 through seven, are called the
Transition elements
The number of protons in and atom is the
Atomic number
Protons and neutrons are composed of
Quarks
The center of an atom where protons and neutrons are located is the
Nucleus
A total count of the neutrons and protons in an atom is the
Mass number
Atoms of the same element but with different numbers of neutrons are
Isotopes
Elements that are found on the left side of the periodic table are
Metals
Elements that have some properties of both metals and nonmetals are
Metalloids
The particles that move about the nucleus and have a negative charge are
Electrons
The region around the nucleus occupied by electrons is a
Electron cloud
A chart that shows the classification of elements is called the
