Question | Answer |
---|---|
the basic particle from which all elements are made; the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element | atom |
tiny, negatively charged particle that moves around the outside of the nucleus of an atom | electron |
the central core of an atom which contains protons and neutrons | nucleus |
small, positively charged particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom | proton |
a region of an atom in which electrons of the same energy are likely to be found | energy level |
a small particle found in the nucleus of an atom with no electric charge | neutron |
the number of protons in the nucleus | atomic number |
an atom with same number of protons and different number of neutrons from other atoms of the same element | isotope |
the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom | mass number |
the average mass of all the isotope of an element | atomic mass |
an arrangement of the elements showing the repeating pattern of their properties | periodic table |
one or two letter representation of an element | chemical symbol |
a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table | period |
elements in the same vertical column of the periodic table; also called families | group |
Who created the first version of the periodic table? | Dimitri Mendeleev |
What are the three major groups on the periodic table? | metals, nonmetals, and metalloids |
How do you find the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom? | 1st- round the atomic mass to a whole number 2nd- subtract the atomic number from the mass |
What tells you the number of protons and electrons? | atomic number |
How many electrons can each shell hold? | 1st- 2 2nd- 8 3rd- 18 or 8 4th- 32 |
If an element is in the 2nd period, how many shells will it have? | 2 |
If an element is in the 5th group, how many valence electrons will it have? | 5 |
