Development of the Periodic Table Key Words

QuestionAnswer
atomic weights These are the masses of one atom of an element. Also called relative atomic masses, the early periodic tables were based on atomic weights.
octaves Groups of eight. Newlands 'law of octaves' groups of 8 elements where every eight element had similar properties.
periodic table The table we use to order the elements based on their atomic masses and their properties.
atomic number The number of protons an element has in the nucleus of its atom.
highest occupied energy level/outer shell The furthest orbit or energy level from the nucleus containing electrons.
alkali metals Metals in Group 1 which form alkalis or alkaline solutions when they react with water.
ionic compounds Compounds formed where the atoms involved in the reaction form ions of a - or + charge. Electrons are exchanged by the atoms.
halogens The elements in Group 7. They are all non-metals. They have 7 electrons in their outer orbit and form diatomic molecules. They can react to form covalent or ionic bonds.
molecules 2 or more atoms chemically bonded together.
ionic Ionic bonds create ions (charged atoms). Electrons are exchanged by the atoms in the reaction to give each atom 8 electrons in their highest energy level.
covalent Bonds where atoms share electrons
transition elements Elements found in the periodic table between Groups 2 and 3. They are all metals.
catalyst Something that changes the rate of a reaction without being consumed (used up) in the reaction.
alloy A mixture of metals and other elements (often carbon)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
