Question | Answer |
---|---|
what is the order of elements based on the periodic table | increasing atomic number |
what do atoms of the same period and group have in common | periodic energy levels valence electrons |
where are metals found on the periodic table | bottom left |
where are non metals found in the periodic table | on the right side toward the upper right corner |
where are metalloids found in the periodic table | along a slanted line between the metal elements and nonmetal elements |
what happens to the elements on the periodic table as you move left to right and top to bottom | atomic radius generally decreases as you move from left to right across a period |
what did anton menedeleev create | he created the first periodic table based on atomic mass |
what is the periodic table based on currently | atomic number |
what is periodic law | a law stating that the elements, when listed in order of their atomic numbers fall into recurring groups, so that elements with similar properties occur at regular intervals |
what are the three main groups of elements | metals, nonmetals and metalloids |
what are the 5 families of elements | Alkali metals. Alkaline earth metals. Transition metals. Halogens. Noble gases. |
what are the properties of alkali metals | high thermal and electrical conductivity, lustre, ductility, and malleability |
what are the properties of alkaline earth metals | Relatively soft and strong. The elements readily form divalent cations The alkaline earth metals are very reactive |
what makes an object more reactive | having less valence electrons |
what are the properties of transition metals | they are good conductors,bent into shape easily, have high melting points,have high densities. |
what are the properties of Halogens. | ow melting and boiling points, high electronegativities, and are sparingly dissovable in water. |
what are the properties of noble gases | Noble gases have very low melting and boiling points. They are non-reactive in their natural state and commonly known as inert gases. |
all metals form positive charges | all metals form positive charges |
what is inert gases | a gas which does not undergo chemical reactions under a set of given conditions. |
what makes metals different from non metals | Metals tend to be shiny, are solid at room temperature (apart from mercury), are malleable, ductile and have a high melting and boiling point |
what makes non metals different from metals | dull and do not reflect light, their states at room temperature vary, they are brittle and have relatively low melting and boiling points. |
what are valence electrons | electrons that located in the outermost electron shell of an atom |
what are metalloids also know as | semi conductors |
The lower the number of valence electrons | the more reactive |
