Science Chemistry stuff yuck ew Flashcards
1
Q
Element
A
A pure substance made up of one type of particle, or atom
2
Q
Compound
A
Pure substances that are made up of 2 or more elements
3
Q
Chemical Families(Groups)
A
A group of related elements
4
Q
Valence Electrons
A
The electrons in the outermost shell, or energy level, of an atom
5
Q
Periodic Table Rows
A
Periods
6
Q
Elements in the same group(family) have:
A
- Similar properties
- The same number of electrons in their outer shell(valence electrons)
7
Q
Standard Atomic Notation
A
did you get it?? you better have gotten it
8
Q
5 Chemical Families
A
Alkali Metals
Alkaline Earth Metals
Transition Metals
Halogens
Noble Gases
9
Q
Alkali Metals
A
- VERY reactive
- Reacts quickly in air and water
- Never found in nature in pure form
10
Q
Alkaline Earth Metals
A
- Not as soft as alkali metals
- Slightly less reactive than alkali metals
11
Q
Transition Metals
A
- Moderate range of reactivity
- They are shiny and are good conductors of heat and electricity
12
Q
Halogens
A
- MOST reactive non-metals
- Rarely found in elemental form
13
Q
Noble Gases
A
- Non Reactive(stable)
- Colourless, odourless, and tasteless
- Glow when electricity is passed through them
14
Q
Structure of an Atom
A
- The number of protons(+) and electrons(-) in an atom are EQUAL(neutral atom)
- The positive charges of the proton and negative charges of electrons cancel each other out, making each atom neutral(not positive or negative)
15
Q
Where is proton?
A
check urself idiot
