Term | Definition |
---|---|
alkali metals | Group 1 elements in the periodic table. Very reactive |
alkaline earth metals | Group 2 elements in the periodic table, all shiny, silvery white, somewhat reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure |
atomic mass | the mass of an atom of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units |
atomic number | the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom and determines its place in the periodic table |
Bohr model | the model of the atom where the nucleus of the atom is the centre of the atom and electrons are travelling in shells around the nucleus |
chemical symbol | Hazard Symbols |
electron shell | is the energy levels that electrons travel in |
halogens | Group 7 elements that consists of reactive non-metallic element |
metal | a solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity |
metalloid | an element which have both properties of metals and non metals |
multiple ion charge | an element which has different charges |
noble gases | Group 8 elements and low reactive gases |
non-metal | an element which is not a metal |
valence electron | the electrons in a valence shell of an element |
valence shell | the last shell which valence electrons travel in an atom |
