The Great Periodic Table of Elements Flashcards
What is a Periodic Table?
a table where all the elements are arranged in an order of atomic number
Explain the features of Dmitri Mendeleev Periodic Table
1) Left Gaps for undiscovered elements
2)arranged is atomic mass
3) No Noble Gases
4)No Transition metals
Explain the features of Modern periodic Table
1) Noble Gases present
2) No Gaps
3) Arranged in atomic number
4)Transition metals present
What is a Period?
an horizontal row
What is a Group?
Vertical Column
What are Group 1 elements called?
Alkali Metals
(Reactive)
What are Group 2 elements called
Alkaline Earth Metals
(Reactive)
What are Group 7 elements called?
Halogens
(Reactive)
What are Group 0/8 elements called?
Noble Gases
(Non-Reactive)
What is the relation between elements and its group number?
Group Number is the same number of electrons in the outer shell
Why are alkali metals stored under oil
To prevent them from reacting with air or water vapor
Properties of Alkali metals
Soft
Less dense
Low melting points
Very Reactive
Explain the Reactivity of Group 1 Metals
The Reactivity Increases down the group
Reaction of Group 1 Metal with Water
Group 1 Metal + Water–> Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
What is an element
An element is a substance which consist of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into anything simpler by chemical means
