Structure of Atoms and Properties of Elements: 3

        Help!  

Word
Definitions
atom   The smallest part of an element.  
🗑
protons   Positive subatomic particles in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
neutrons   Neutral subatomic particles in the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
electrons   Negatively charged, and the smallest subatomic particles; found in a "cloud" around the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
orbitals (shells)   Area where an electron is likely to be found.  
🗑
valence shell   The highest level orbital; the outer energy level of an atom.  
🗑
subatomic particles   protons, nuetrons, electrons  
🗑
valence electrons   Electrons in the outer energy level.  
🗑
elements   Substances that cannot broken into another substance. They are made of atoms with the same number of protons.  
🗑
atomic number   Number of protons in an atom of an element.  
🗑
atomic mass   Number of protons and neutrons in an atom of an element.  
🗑
amu   Atomic Mass Unit (Da)  
🗑
Periodic Table   Arranges all known elements by atomic number and the properties of elements.  
🗑
periods   Horizontal--- rows of the periodic table.  
🗑
electron configuration   How many valence electrons an element has.  
🗑
Groups (Families)   Vertical (up/down) columns on the periodic table which all have the same number of valence electrons.  
🗑
metals   Located on the left side of the periodic table; most are solid, hard,shiny, conduct heat and electricity. Usually give up electrons.  
🗑
nonmetals   Located on the right of the periodic table; usually gases or dull, brittle solids. Usually gain electrons.  
🗑
metalloids   Elements on the periodic table next to the bold, staircase line. They have properties of both metals and nonmetals.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
