Science Periodic Table Review Flashcards
Proton equal the number of ____________ in an atom.
ELECTRONS!
*Protons equal the same number as electrons
Define isotopes
Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Define ionic bond
The bonding that involves a transfer of electrons
What is lithium’s valence number (electrons)?
1
Elements are made up of one type of _________.
Atom
Define metalloid
An element that conducts electric current better than a nonmetal but as well as a metal. (In the middle of nonmetals and metals)
What is the valence number if a atom?
The number of electrons of the outermost energy level
What makes an atom neutral?
When both protons and electrons are the same number (equal)
Define molecule. Give an example.
When a group of atoms are bonded together.
An example would be water.
What accepts electrons, has a negative valence, and are on the right side of the periodic table?
Non-metals
What family has a full outer shell?
Noble gases
Chlorine - which element has similar properties to it?
Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. (All are in the halogen family)
Define compound
When combining two elements together, you get a compound.
Elements in the same family or group have the same ___________ ____________
Bonding Electrons
Define covalent bond.
Bonding in which electrons are shared.
Why don’t electrons leave the atom?
Because electrons are negative and protons are positive - they go together
Hydrogen and sodium are members of which family?
