Periodic Table

Vocab for Matter and Elements

TermDefinition
*Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space.
Mass The material that matter is made up of.
Volume How much room/space matter takes up
Density D = mass divided by volume The amount of material/stuff matter takes up within a specific space.
*Atom The smallest part on an element, The building blocks of all matter.
*Electron The particle of an atom that surrounds the nucleus with a negative charge and attractive force that allows it to band with other atoms creating everything in the universe.
*Proton A particle of an atom with a positive charge found inside the nucleus.
*Neutron A particle of an atom with no charge found inside the nucleus along with the proton
*Periodic Table A large grid that identifies and classifies all of the elements by their chemical and physical properties.
*Element A substance that can't be broken down / they make up all matter in the universe.
*Periods/Rows Rows that tell you how many energy levels each element has for the electrons to move around.
*Groups or family/columns Columns that tell how many valance electrons each element has
*Valance electrons The electrons move in the outer shell of an atom
*Atomic number How many protons and neutrons are inside the nucleus
*Atomic Mass The measurement of the mass for an elements atoms
*Chemical Property The ability of substances to combine with one another forming new and different compounds and molecules
*Physical Property The state of matter and appearance of a substance
Ionic Bond when elements either lose or gain an 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 and change
*Compound/molecule Two or more elements combine together creating a whole, new and different substance
*Mixture Two or more substances mixed together keeping their original properties
*Nobel Gasses All of the elements in Group #18~ they have 8 electrons in their outer shell and are the most stable
*Halogens All of the elements in Group #17~ they have 7 balance electrons and are very reactive bonding easily with elements in Group #1
*Alkali Metals All of the elements in Group #1~they only have one valance electron so they are very reactive
Metalloids They have 3-7 valance electrons. Elements between metals and non-metals that can react either way
*Endothermic Chemical reaction that absorbs thermal energy.
Exothermic The production cold.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
