Question
Answer
Chemical symbol   international symbols for each element consisting of one or two letters, such as O for oxygen and Na for sodium  
🗑
Chemical properties   characteristics that describe a substances ability to react chemically with other substances to form new products.  
🗑
Metals   elements that are typically hard, shiny, malleable, ductile and a good conductor of heat and electricity  
🗑
Non-metals   elements that are typically not shiny, malleable, ductile and poor a conductor of heat and electricity. Non - metals are usually gases or brittle solids at room temperature.  
🗑
Periodic table   a chart that organizes elements according to their physical and chemical properties.  
🗑
Atomic number   the number of protons in the nucleus of each a atom of an element.  
🗑
Atomic mass   The mass of an average atom of an element.  
🗑
atomic mass unit   the unit of measurement for atomic mass.  
🗑
Ion charge   an electric charge that forms on an atom when it gains or loses electrons.  
🗑
Ion   Any electrically charged atom.  
🗑
Multiple ion charge   Elements that can form ions in more than one way.  
🗑
Metalloids   elements that share some properties with metals and some properties with non- metals.  
🗑
Period   Each horizontal row in the periodic table.  
🗑
Chemical family   groups of elements arranged in vertical columns in the periodic table that have similar physical and chemical properties.  
🗑
Alkali metals   highly reactive and reactivity increases as you go down the group  
🗑
Alkaline earth metals   less reactive than the alkali metals but will burn in air if heated. They produce bright flames and are used in fireworks.  
🗑
Halogens   non-metals and are highly reactive.  
🗑
Noble gases   the most stable and unreactive elements in the periodic table.  
🗑
Bohr model

🗑
Bohr model   a diagram that shows how many electrons are in each shell surrounding the nucleus.  
🗑
Electron shells   the regions surrounding the nucleus of an atom.  
🗑
Valence electrons   The electrons in the outermost shell.  
🗑
Valence shell   the shell that contains the outermost 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.
