Periodic Table
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Metals | -solid and room Temperature -Ductile (wire) -Malleable(hammered) -conductors |
Non Metals | -Poor conductors -Breaks easy -Not ductile -Not malleable |
Periodic Table | The periodic table arranges all of the known elements in order of increasing atomic # (# of protons) |
Metalliods | Element on both sides of the zig zag line have properties of both metals and non-metals |
Periods | The periods on the PT are the rows numbered from 1-7. Also the atomic number increases from left to right |
Groups | Groups or families on the PT are the columns numbered from 1-18. Also the same amount of valence electrons. |
Stable Atom | An atom is stable when the outer shell is filled |
Alkali Metals | Alkali metals are highly reactive. Never found in nature uncombined. |
Alkali Earth Metals | Fairly reactive metals. Not as reactive as alkali but never found in nature uncombined. |
Transition Metals | Hard and dense metals that are useful as building materials, Jewelry, and coins |
Noble Gases | Noble Gases are not reactive and is always found on the own nature. |
Protons | Positive charge |
Neutrons | Neutral charge |
Electrons | Negative Charge |
Atomic Numer | Same Number as the Protons |
Atomic mass | # of protons + # of neutrons |
