Vocabulary of 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   anything that has mass and takes up space  
🗑
Mass   the material that matter is made of  
🗑
Volume   how much room/space matter takes up  
🗑
Density   D = m/v the amount of material /stuff matter takes up within a specific space  
🗑
Atom   smallest part of an element, the building blocks of all matter  
🗑
Electron   particle of an atom that surrounds the nucleus, it has a negative charge and attractive force to bond with other atoms  
🗑
Proton   particle of an atoms the positive charge located in the nucleus  
🗑
Neutron   particle of an atom the has a neutral / no charge in nucleus and along with proton  
🗑
Periodic Table   large table that shows what all elements are and their chemical and physical properties  
🗑
Element   simplest substance that makes up everything and cannot be broken down  
🗑
Period/Row   how many energy levels has for the electrons to move around for each electron  
🗑
Group or Family/Columns   how many valence electrons each element has/ the # of electron to move in outer shell/energy level  
🗑
Valence Electrons   electrons that move around in outer shell / energy level of an atom  
🗑
Atomic #   # of protons inside the nucleus / normally same # of neutrons and electrons  
🗑
Atomic mass   mass for an elements atoms  
🗑
Chemical property   substances that combine to create a new substance / compounds and molecules  
🗑
Physical property   change in state or appearance  
🗑
Ionic bond   element's lose or gain a electron during bonding  
🗑
Covalent bond   elements share electrons during bonding  
🗑
Compound / molecule   2 or more combine together in a specific ratio / pattern creating a whole new substance and different  
🗑
Mixture   2 or more substances combined but do not change into a whole new substance  
🗑
Nobel Gas   all elements in group have # 18 most stable elements because they have 8 electrons in their outer shell  
🗑
Halogens   all elements in group #17 are very reactive bounding with the elements in group #1 because of the seven valence electrons and they want to be stable  
🗑
Alkali metals   all elements in group #1 are very reactive because they only have 1 valence electron  
🗑
Metalloids   elements between metals and non metals that can react either way they have only one valence electron  
🗑
Chemical change / reaction   elements bound through the attractive force of electrons creating reaction / change  
🗑


   

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.
