Science Terms
Periodic Table
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Matter | anything that has mass and takes up space |
Mass | The material/ stuff that matter is made up of-it can be measured |
Space/Volume | The specific area/place that matter takes up |
Density | D=m/v The amount of mass in a specific volume of space |
atom | smallest part of an element,the building blocks of all matter |
electron | particle of atom with a negative charge,moves around the nucleus and has an attractive force that allows it to bond with other atoms creating everything in the universe |
Proton | Particle of an atom with a positive charge located inside the nucleus |
Nuetron | particle of an atom with a nuetral/no charge located inside the nucleus along with the proton |
Periodic Table | large grid that identifies and classifies all of the elements by their chemical and physical properties |
element | the simplest substances that cannot be broken down/ they make up all matter in the universe |
periods/rows | rows that tell how many energy levels each elements has for the electrons to move around |
groups or family/columns | columns that tell how many valence electrons each element has / the number of electrons that can move on its outer shell / energy level |
valence electrons | the electrons that move on the outer shell /energy level of an atom |
atomic number | how many protons of an element has inside the nucleas/usually is same # of neutrons and electrons |
atomic mass | the measurement of the mass for an elements atoms |
chemical property | the ability of substances to combine with one another forming new and different compounds and molocules |
physical property | the state of matter and appearance of a substance |
ionic bond | when elements either lose or gain an electron during bonding |
covalent bond | when elements share electrons during bonding |
chemical change/ reaction | elements bond together through the attractive force of electrons creating some type of action and change |
compound/ molocule | two or more elements combine together in a specific ratio/ pattern creating a whole, new and different substance |
Mixture | two or more substances combine together keeping their original properties, they DO NOT CHANGE into a new substance/ compound |
Nobel Gases | all of the elements in group #18 - they are the most stable elements because they have eight electrons in their outer shell |
Halogens | all of the elements in group #17 - they are very reactive bonding easily with elements in group #1 because they have seven valence electrons and want to be stable |
Alkali Metals | all of the elements in group #1- they are very reactive because they only have one valence electron |
Metalloids | elements between metals and non-metals that can react either way, they have 3-7 valence electrons |
