The Periodic Table
This is a review over chapter 6 of the person chemistry textbook
Question/ term | Answer/definition |
---|---|
Periodic law | When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties. |
Metals | Generally good conductors of heat and electric current |
Nonmetals | Poor conductors of heat and electric current. |
metaloid | Generally has properties of metals and nonmetals |
Alkali Metals | The elements in Group 1A |
Alkaline Earth Metals | The elements in Group 2A |
Halogens | The nonmetals of group 7A |
Noble gasses | The elements in which the highest occupied s and p sublevels are filled. |
Representative Elements | The highest occupied s and p sublevels are partially filled. |
Transition metals | The highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel contain electrons |
Inner Transition Metals | The highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel contain electrons |
Atomic Radius | One half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when the atoms are joined |
Electrogravity | The ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound |
ions | an atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative charge |
ionization energy | energy required to remove an electron from an atom |
cation | A positively charged ion |
anion | A negatively charged ion |
Properties of elements allowed chemists to | Sort them into groups |
Mendeleev arranged the elements in his periodic table | in order of increasing atomic mass |
Elements are arranged | in order of increasing atomic number |
In general, atoms increase from top to bottom | within a group |
In general, atoms decrease from left to right | across a period |
In general, electronegativity values decrease | top to bottom |
In general, electronegativity values increase | from left to right across a period |
