Periodic Table
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| valence shell | Outermost shell of an atom |
| atomic mass | Number of protons plus the number of neutrons |
| conductivity | Ability for heat or electricity to flow through it |
| neutron | Part of an atom with a neutral charge |
| electron | Part of an atom with a negative charge |
| malleable | Able to be flattened out |
| ductile | Able to be stretched without breaking; not brittle |
| proton š | Part of an atom with a positive charge |
| luster | Ability to reflect light |
| reactive | Causes a chemical reaction and releases energy |
| family | Also called group; columns on the periodic table (go up and down); Elements in a group have the same number of electrons in the outer level |
| period | Rows on the periodic table (side to side); Each row represents the number of energy levels |
| compound | combination of 2 or more elements that are chemically combined |
| Anything on the periodic table is... | an element |
| Groups | go up and down (remember the word UP is in groups; show the number of valence electrons, 18 total |
| Families | another name for groups |
| Periods | go side to side , show the number of electron shells (or energy levels), 7 total |
| Elements that are more similar are in the same... | Group |
| Mixture | physically combined, can be separated |
