BJHS Atomic Structure
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the name for the rows that go across on the periodic table? | periods |
What is the negatively charged particle of an atom? | electron |
This is found in the nucleus of an atom and has a positive charge. | proton |
The electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom are called __________ _________. | valence electron |
This uses the atomic symbol and dots to show the valence electrons. | Lewis dot diagram |
Although very small in size compared to the whole atom, the part of the atom that contains most of the mass is called what? | nucleus |
The volume of an atom is mostly this. | empty space (electron cloud) |
The atomic mass is based on the number of these two parts of the atom. | protons and the neutrons |
The unit of measure the atomic mass is measured in. | AMU or atomic mass unit |
The “orbits” the electrons have around the nucleus are called this. | energy levels, shells, or electron clouds |
He is credited for the idea of the periodic table. | Mendeleev |
In the current periodic table, elements are arranged according to this. | atomic number |
The atomic number of an element also tells us the number of these. | protons |
Another name for a group on the periodic table is this. | family |
These are found to the left of the zig zag line on the periodic table | metals |
The smallest piece of an ELEMENT. | atom |
These metals are found in group one on the periodic table and are the most reactive. | alkali metals |
Neon is a member of this family of gases. | Noble gases |
Number of valence electrons found in alkaline earth metals. | 2 |
The lanthanides and actinides found on the bottom two rows of the table are also known as this. | rare earth metals |
Properties of these include malleability, shiny, magnetic. | metals |
These physical properties include dullness, brittle, and these are often found as gases. | non-metals |
An example of this ‘mixture of metals’ is bronze, which is created by combining copper and tin. | alloy |
The electrons that are shared or given up and involved in bonding are these. | valence electrons |
The greatest number of valence electrons an atom can have. | eight |
Because these have characteristics of both metals and non-metals, these make good semi-conductors. | metalloids |
