The Periodic Table Flashcards
Where are halogens located on the periodic table?
Group 17 Elements
What are groups on the periodic table?
The vertical columns, numbered left-to-right
What are periods on the periodic table?
The horizontal rows, numbered from top-to-bottom
What is a halogen?
The word halogen means “salt former.” Halogens are either gas or liquid and form salts when they react with metals. Because they are in group 7A (or 17) of the periodic table, they are lacking one elctron from their valence octet and have a charge of -1.
Where are the lanthanides located on the periodic table?
Period 6
Where are alkali metals located on the periodic table?
Where are the noble gases located on the periodic table?
Group 8A (or 18) of the periodic table
Where are the alkaline earth metals located on the periodic table?
Group 2A
What charge do alklali metals have?
+1 charge (usually freely soluble in water) becuase they are in group 1A
Where are the chalcogens located on the periodic table?
Group 6A
Where are the noble metals found on the periodic table?
Where are the actinides foundon the periodic table?
