quiz 2 review Flashcards
-most reactive metals
-will not find by alone in nature
-malleable and ductile; conductors of heat and electricity
alkili metals
-metallic metals
-reactive but not as much as column 1
-not found alone in nature
-malleable and ductile; conductors of heat and electricity
alkiline earth metals
-metallic metals
-malleable, ductile, conductors of heat and electricity
transition metals
-term means salt-farmer
-react with other chemicals to form compounds
-form moleceus of two paired atoms in their elemental form
-exist at room temperature in all 3 states of matter
halogens
-gases at room temperature
-are very stable because their outer valence shells are full
-exist as single atoms in their elemental form
noble gases
-sometimes called kithenide series
-hard to find high concentration in nature
-used for magnetic, electric, and ideal properties for lasers
-slow to react with water
rare earth metals / lanthinides
-often referred to as heavy metals
-are all radio active
-used for their nuclear properties
-some are abundant and naturally occurring (ex. uranium)
-can be synthetic (ex. plutonium)
actinides
what is matter? what is it made up of? what can it be?
matter is anything that has mass or takes up space.
made up of many different materials
can be a substance (one type) or mixture (2 types)
what are the 2 things elements can form? give an example for each
-atom (single unit of an element) ex. oxygen
-molecule (multiple units of an element) ex. h20
what are compounds
2 or more different elements that are chemically joined (ex. carbon dioxide)
compound can be either…
ionic or molecular
what are ionic compounds? what do they form?
elements contain metal and non-metal atoms
form repeating crystal structures
ex. single unit of salt
what are molecular compounds? what do they form?
elements contain non-metal atoms
form individual units
ex. carbon dioxide atom
properties of metals
ductile, electrically conductive, solid, malleable
properties of non-mentals
brittle, non-electrically conductive, dull, any states of matter
