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   Anything that takes up space or has mass.  
🗑
Mass   The material that makes up matter.  
🗑
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   The smallest part of an Element, a building block of matter.  
🗑
electron   A particle of an atom with a negative charge.  
🗑
proton   A particle of an atom which is positive energy.  
🗑
neutron   A particle of an atom which has no energy it is neutral.  
🗑
Periodic Table   Grid that identifies and classifies the Elements into periods and groups by their chemical.  
🗑
periods/rows   Provides information for how many energy level, shells that surround.  
🗑
groups/columns   Columns that tell how many valence each element has.  
🗑
valence electrons   The electrons that move on the outer shell/ energy level of an atom.  
🗑
atomic number   How many protons an element has inside the nucleus/ usually the same # of neutrons and electrons.  
🗑
atomic mass   The measurement of the mass for a elements atom.  
🗑
chemical property   The ability of substances to combine with each other forming new/ different compounds and molecules.  
🗑
physical property   The state of matter/ appearance of a substance.  
🗑
ionic bond   When elements either lose or gain a 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 reaction/ change.  
🗑
compound/ molecule   Two or more elements combined together in a specific ratio/ pattern creating a entirely whole, new and different substance.  
🗑
mixture   2 or more substances combine together keeping their original properties, they don't change into a entirely new substance or compound.  
🗑
Nobel Gases   All of the elements in Group #18 they are the most stable elements because they have eight electrons in their own outer shell.  
🗑
Halogens   All of the elements in Group #17- have a good reactive bond w/ elements in Group #1, only because they have 7 valence electrons and they want to be stable.  
🗑
Alkali Metals   All of the elements in Group #1 they are very reactive because they have only one valence electron.  
🗑
Metalloids   Elements between metals and non-metals that can react either way, they have 3-7 valence electrons.  
🗑
Endothermic   Chemical change that absorbs energy. Ex: baking soda and vinegar.  
🗑
Exothermic   Chemical reaction that releases energy. Ex: sunlight.  
🗑


   

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.
