Question
Answer
What are valance electrons?   electrons in the outer most energy level that have the highest energy  
🗑
Which electrons are responsible for bonding?   valence electrons  
🗑
What makes an atom stable?   Having a full outer shell (most need 8 valence electrons)  
🗑
What is a chemical bond?   the force of attraction holding atoms together  
🗑
What happens when a bond is formed?   1. electrons can be transferred from one to another. 2. Electrons can be shared between atoms  
🗑
What are the most reactive metals and where are they on the periodic table?   Alkali metals in group 1.  
🗑
How do alkali metals react?   lose one electron  
🗑
How do alkaline earth metals react?   lose 2 electrons  
🗑
Where are the most reactive nonmetals and what are they called?   halogens located in group 17  
🗑
How do halogens react?   gain one electron  
🗑
What is an ion?   an atom that has gained or lost electrons; an electrically charged atom  
🗑
If an atom loses an electron, what is its charge?   positive  
🗑
If an atom gains an electron, what is its charge?   negative  
🗑
What is a negative ion called?   anion  
🗑
What is a positive ion called?   cation  
🗑
What is an ionic bond?   bond between two ions of oppositive charge  
🗑
What charge does an ionic compound have?   neutral (the positive and negative balance/equal each other out)  
🗑
What is the small number written to the right and just below the atomic symbol?   subscript  
🗑
When you have an ionic compound, which ion is written first?   the metal, which is the cation, which is the positive ion because it lost electrons (it lost its negative!)  
🗑
What does stable mean?   not likely to react  
🗑
When are H and He stable?   when they have 2 valence electrons  
🗑
When can a new or different substance form?   in chemical reactions when bonds are broken and new bonds are formed  
🗑
BE FAMILIAR WITH THE MATERIAL ABOUT THE PERIODIC TABLE   STUDY PAGES 152-156  
🗑
Explain the reactivity of metals on the periodic table   decreases from left to right from top to bottom down each group  
🗑
Explain the reactivity of metals in groups 1 and 2   increases from top to bottom down each group  
🗑
What is the most reactive element, which group is it found in?   Fluorine, group 17  
🗑
How do atoms with 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons become more stable?   by gaining electrons  
🗑
How do atoms with 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons become more stable?   by losing electrons  
🗑
How do atoms with 4 valence electrons become more stable?   sometime gain or sometimes lose, depending on the situation  
🗑
What is a chemical formula?   combination of atomic symbols and subscript to show the ratio of atoms in the compound  
🗑
What information does the subscript give you?   the ratio of atoms of the elements in the compound  
🗑
When naming ionic compounds, what is listed first?   the metal or cation  
🗑
When naming ionic compounds, what is listed second and given an "ide" ending?   the nonmetal or anion  
🗑
If no subscript is written, what is it understood to be?   one  
🗑
When naming compounds with polyatomic ions, which is listed first?   positive polyatomic ion  
🗑
When naming compounds with polyatomic ions, which is listed second?   negative polyatomic ion with its ending of -ide or -ate  
🗑
Name properties of ionic compounds.   hard, brittle, crystals, high melting points, conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water  
🗑
What is a crystal?   orderly, 3D arrangement of ions in a regular, repeating pattern  
🗑
Why are ionic compounds hard and brittle?   every ion is attracted to every other ion of the opposite charge around it so the compound is held very tightly and is very strong  
🗑
Why do ionic compounds have high melting points?   because ionic bonds are strong, a lot of energy is needed to break the bond. A lot of energy has to be added, hence the high melting point  
🗑
What is electric current?   a flow of charged particles (electrons)  
🗑
Why do ionic compounds in solid form not conduct electricity while ionic compounds in liquid form do conduct electricity?   in a solid form, ions are not free to move. If the ions can't move, the charged particles can't flow  
🗑
What is the oxidation number?   an atom's ionic charge  
🗑
How is the oxidation number determined?   from the number of valence electrons that are gained or lost  
🗑
What is the Octet rule?   when bonding, all atoms either gain or lose electrons so they end up with the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas  
🗑
What are Lewis Structures?   dot diagrams, a simplified what to show how the valence electrons are arranged in the outer shell when chemical reactions take place  
🗑
How can you determine how many dots are in each element?   the number of electrons in the outer shell or look at the group number on the periodic table ( example: group 13, 3 valence electrons  
🗑


   

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.
