| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the names of the four theories of the atom? | Daltons, tomson, rutherford, and bohr's |
| What are the three particles in an atom? | proton, neutron, electron |
| atomic number | the number of protons in the nucleus |
| isotope | an atom with the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons from other atoms of the same element |
| energy level | a region of an atom in which electrons of the same energy are likely to be found |
| mass number | the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom |
| who dicovered the periodic table? | Dmitri Mendeleev's |
| What type of things are labeled on the table? | metals, nonmetals, metalloids, solids, liquids, gases, and not found in nature |
| period | the horizontal row organized by reactiveness |
| groups | also known as families organized for similar characteristics |
| what makes up a square on the periodic table? | atomic number, chemical symbol, element name, atomic mass |
| nuclear fusion | occurs in stars aand is a process in whitch 2 atomic nuclei combine forming a large nucleus and releasing huge amounts of energy |
| Physical characteristics of metals | shininess, malleability, ductility, and conductivity |
| characteristics of nonmetals | poor conductors of energy and heat, are reactive with other elemnts, and they are dull and brittle |
| characteristics of metalloids | conduct electricity, are solids at room temperature, are brittle hard and somewhat reactive |
| What element makes up only one group? | hydrogen, because the chemical properties differ very much from other elements |
| all the weight of an atom comes from where? | the center |
| what adds the extra weight to get the decimal in the atomic weight? | isotopes |
| All symbols have? | A capital letter and some have a lower case |
| How do you find the atomic mass? | the average mass of all the isotopes of an element, you add together the elements and then divide to find the weight |
| you have a catital letter and sometimes a lower case why? | so you dont get confused with compounds |
