Q2 Week 1 Periodic Table Organization
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements by ______ atomic number which displays the elements so that we can see trends in their properties. | increasing |
| When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a regular repetition of their chemical and physical properties. What is this definition? | periodic law |
| What is a column of elements in the periodic table having similar valence electron arrangement? | family |
| Each element in a family or group has the same number of _____ electrons. | valence |
| A valence electron is an electron in the ______ energy level of a neutral atom. | outermost |
| What is a horizontal row on the periodic table of the elements; also called a series known as? | period |
| The horizontal row number equals every atom's number of _____ levels, also called orbitals. | energy |
| What does this describe? an element that is typically dense, solid, ductile, malleable, highly conductive, and chemically reactive, especially in the presence of nonmetal elements. | metal |
| What does this describe? an element with characteristics between those of metals and nonmetals; also called semiconductors | metalloid |
| What does this describe? an element that typically has four or more valence electrons and that does not exhibit the general properties of metals | nonmetal |
| What is an element in Group 1 of the periodic table, having one valence electron that it can easily lose to form a 1+ cation, making it extremely reactive? | alkali metal |
| What are elements in Group 2 of the periodic table, having two valence electrons? | alkaline earth metals |
| What are any elements in Groups 3–12 of the periodic table, typically having one or two valence electrons? | transition metals |
| What is an element in Group 17 of the periodic table having seven valence electrons? | halogen |
| Because the noble gasses all have full outer energy levels, each one is inert. Which word best describes inert? | nonreactive |
