Periodic Table Slideshow Flashcards
Whose smirk is this?
Clue: I made the PERIODIC TABLE!
Hi, I am Dmitri Mendeleev!
What is the PERIODIC TABLE? (List 2)
- Shows all known elements in the universe.
- It organizes the elements by chemical properties.
How did Dmitri Mendeleev initially arrange the elements in the periodic table?
Mendeleev initially arranged the elements by increasing atomic mass.
Who created the first version of the periodic table?
Dmitri Mendeleev created the first version of the periodic table.
Why was the periodic table changed from using atomic mass to atomic number?
It made the elements fit better with their properties.
What does the atomic number of an element represent?
The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom of the element.
Mendeleev arranged the elements by atomic mass
But he noticed there was something still not quite right about it.
How is it arranged now?
Now it is arranged by atomic numbers!
Which is the atomic number?
A
What is the ATOMIC NUMBER?
The number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom.
What are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons called?
Ions
A (+) charge means that you are missing an electron and a (-) charge means that you have an extra electron.
In a neutral atom, what does the atomic number tell you besides the number of protons?
In a neutral atom, the atomic number also tells you the number of electrons.
What is the SYMBOL?
An abbreviation of the element name.
Which is the symbol?
B
What is the ATOMIC WEIGHT?
The number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
Which is the atomic weight?
D
How do you find the number of protons in an element using the periodic table?
of PROTONS = ATOMIC NUMBER
How do you find the number of electrons in an element using the periodic table?
of ELECTRONS = # PROTONS (neutral)
How do you find the number of neutrons in an element using the periodic table?
of NEUTRONS = Mass - ATOMIC NUMBER
The periodic table is divided into rows and columns.
Vertical columns are called?
Groups
How many groups are there on the periodic table?
18
The periodic table is divided into rows and columns.
What are the horizontal rows called?
Periods
How many periods are there on the periodic table?
There are 7 periods
