what are the five properties of metal | hardness, malleable, shiny, ductility, flammability |
what are the 5 properties of nonmetals | gas at room temp., dull, brittle, insulator, low density |
nucleus | the center core of an atom usually holding protons and neutrons. |
proton | small, uncharged particle in the nucleus of an atom |
neutron | small, uncharged particle in the atom of a nucleus |
electron | a tiny negative charge, high energy particles that move in the space outside the nucleus of an atom. |
atomic number | the number of protons in the nucleus |
atomic mass unit (amu) | a unit of measurement for the mass of particles in atoms. |
VALENCE ELECTRON | the electrons that are farthest away from the nucleus of an atom and involved in chemical reactions |
electron dot diagram | a representation of the number of valence electrons in a atom, using dots placed around the symbol. |
atomic mass | the average mass of one atom of an element |
periodic table | an arrangement of the elements in order of atomic number, in which elements with similar properties are grouped in columns |
group/family | elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table |
periodic | a horizontal row of the element in the periodic table |
malleable | a term used to describe material that can be pounded or rolled into shape |
ductile | a term used to describe a material that can be pulled into a long wire |
conductor | a substance though which electrons move freely transmitting, heat or electricity |
magnetic | a characteristic of those metals that are attracted to magnets and can be made into magnets. |
corrosion | the gradual wearing away of metal element due to chemical reaction |
alkali metal | an elements in group 1 of the periodic table |
alkaline earth metal | an element in group 2 of the periodic table. |
transition metal | an element in group 3 through 12 of the periodic table |
lanthanide | a group of elements in the first row of the rare earth elements on the periodic table |
actinide | a group of element in the 2nd row of the rare elements ion the periodic table |
metalloid | a element that has some of the characteristics of both metals and nonmetals |
noble gas | an element in group 18 of the periodic table |
nonmetal | an element that lacks most of the properties of metal |
diatomic molecule | a molecule composed of two atoms |
halogen family | the elements in group 17 of the periodic table |
in the current periodic table it is rearranged by | the atomic number |

why would you expect to find the element argon in it pure, uncombined form in nature | its a gas |
why can two different elements have very similar atomic masses | similar amount of protons |
would you expect elements A and B have similar chemical properties? WHY OR WHY NOT | yes, they both are gases |
which of the metals you identified is the most reactive? | Lead, it is off color somewhat conducts electricity but not fully. |

how many electrons does a Zinc atom contain | 30 |
in what group of the periodic table is Zinc located | 12 group |
in what period of the periodic table is Zinc located in | 4th period |
from their location in the periodic table, you know that Zinc and Cadmium are...... | Transition Metals |
