🗑
Which particles are found in the nucleus of the atom?   protons and neutrons  
🗑
Which particles are found outside of the nucleus?   electrons  
🗑
Which particles have the most mass?   protons and neutrons  
🗑
What are the first 4 energy levels in an atom called?   K-L-M-N  
🗑
How many electrons can the K energy level hold?   2  
🗑
How many electrons can the L energy level hold?   8  
🗑
How many ellectrons can the M energy level hold?   18  
🗑
How many electrons can the N energy level hold?   32  
🗑
What is an ion?   An atom with a positive or negetive charge  
🗑
How does an atom become a positive ion?   loses electrons  
🗑
How does an atom become a negetive ion?   gains electrons  
🗑
What chart arranges elements in order of increasing atomic number?   periodic table of elements  
🗑
What does the atomic number tell us about the atom?   The number of protons & electrons (APE= Atomic # = Protons = Electrons)  
🗑
What does the atomic mass tell us about the atom?   The number of protons and neutrons  
🗑
How do we calculate the number of neutrons in an atom?   Atomic Mass - Atomic # = Neutrons(MAN = Mass - Atomic # = Neutrons)  
🗑
What do we call the verical (up and down) columns of the periodic table?   Groups/Families  
🗑
What do we cann the horizontal (back and forth) rows of the periodic table?   periods  
🗑
What do elements in the same Period have in common?   Same number of energy levels  
🗑
What do elements in the same Group have in common?   Same number of valence electrons  
🗑
What are valence electrons?   Electrons in the atoms outermost energy level, determines reactivity  
🗑
How many valence electrons does an atom need to be stable?   8 valence electrons OR a full outer energy level  
🗑
What type of elements are shiny solids that are good conductors of heat and electricity?   Metals  
🗑
What do metals do when they form a compound?   Lost electrons  
🗑
What type of elements are brittle solids, liquids and gases that are poor conductors of heat and electricity?   Nonmetals  
🗑
What do nonmetals do when they form compounds?   Gain electrons  
🗑
Which elements seldom react with other elements and are in group 18?   Noble Gases  
🗑
A process by which two or more atoms react to form something new is called a   Chemical Reaction (change)  
🗑
The substance around at the start of a reaction that you are mixing together are the   reactants  
🗑
The substances around at the end of a chemical reaction that are made are the   products  
🗑
What do all chemical reactions need in order to happen?   Change in energy  
🗑
Reactions that absorb energy and form chemical bonds are called   Endothermic  
🗑
Reactions that release energy and break chemical bonds are called   Exothermic  
🗑
What are the four indicators of a chemical reaction?   1. Formation of a gas2. Formation of a precipitate 3. Change in color4. Change in temperature  
🗑
What do we call a short hand way of writing the name of a substance?   Chemical Formula  
🗑
What does the law of conservation of matter state?   Matter can never be create or destroyed during a chemical reaction  
🗑
How can we change the rate of a chemical reaction?   1. Increase the surface area2. Increase the temperature3. Increase the concentration  
🗑


   

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.
