The Periodic Table: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Mendeleev   arranged the known elements in order of increasing atomic weight in successive sequences so that elements with similar chemical properties fell into the same column. He provided for elements that were unknown at the time and predicted their properties  
🗑
Periodic Law   The properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.  
🗑
Groups or families   Vertical group of elements on periodic table Similar chemical and physical properties  
🗑
Period   Horizontal group of elements on periodic table Transition from metals to nonmetals Elements within a period have properties that change progressively across the table  
🗑
alkali metals   IA metals  
🗑
alkaline earth metals   IIA metals  
🗑
Halogens   VIIA non metals  
🗑
Noble   VIIIA non metals  
🗑
Chemical properties of metals   Outer shells contain few electrons Form cations by losing electrons Form ionic compounds with nonmetals Solid state characterized by metallic bonding  
🗑
Chemical properties of non metals   Outer shells contain four or more electrons Form anions by gaining electrons Form ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with other nonmetals Form covalently bonded molecules; noble gases are monatomic  
🗑
Metals, non metals, metalloids   Metals are to the left of stair step(80% of elements)best metals are on the far left of the table. Nonmetals are to the right of stair step(20% of elements) best nonmetals are on the far right of table Metalloids have one side of the box on the stair st  
🗑
Periodic trends in metallic character   Metallic character increases from top to bottom and decreases from left to right with respect to position in the periodic table. Cs is the most active occurring metal.  
🗑
Periodic trends in nonmetallic character   Nonmetallic character decreases from top to bottom and increases from left to right in the periodic table. Fluorine is the most active nonmetal.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
