vocabulary for matter and elements

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
matter   everything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
mass   the material matter is made of  
🗑
volume   the space matter takes up  
🗑
density   the amount of mass in a specific volume of space  
🗑
atom   the smallest element and the building block for all matter  
🗑
electron   the particle of an atom with a negative charge, moves around the nucleus and has an attractive force which allows it to bond with other atoms  
🗑
proton   particle of an atom located in the nucleus with a positive charge  
🗑
neutron   particle of an atom without a charge located inside the nucleus  
🗑
periodic table   large grid that organizes all elements by physical and chemical properties  
🗑
element   the simplest substances that cannot be broken down  
🗑
periods/rows   rows tell how many energy levels each elements have for electrons to move around  
🗑
groups or family/columns   columns show valence electrons/the number of electrons that can move on its outer shell  
🗑
valence electrons   electrons that move on outer shell  
🗑
atomic number   how many protons an elements has inside the nucleus  
🗑
atomic mass   the measurement of the mass for an elements atoms  
🗑
chemical property   the ability of substances to combine with each other forming new compounds and molecules  
🗑
physical property   the state of matter and appearance  
🗑
ionic bond   when elements lose or gain and electron during bonding  
🗑
covalent bond   when elements share electrons during bonding  
🗑
chemical change   elements bond through an attractive force of electrons creating some type of reaction and change  
🗑
compound/molecule   two or more elements combine together in a set ratio creating a whole new substance  
🗑
mixture   two or more substances together but keeping there original properties they don't change into a new substance  
🗑
Nobel gases   all elements in group #18 they are most stable cause they have 8 electrons in their outer shell  
🗑
halogens   all elements in group #17 they are reactive bonding easily with elements in group 1 cause they have 7 valence electrons and want to be stable  
🗑
alkali metals   all elements in group #1 they are very reactive because they only have one valence electron  
🗑
metalloids   elements between metals and non metals can react either way, they have 3-7 valence electrons  
🗑


   

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.
