Atoms

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

Term
Definition
Electronegativity   A property of an atom which increases with its tendency to attract the electrons of a bond.  
🗑
Atomic Radius   the distance from the atomic nucleus to the outermost stable electron orbital in a atom at equilibrium  
🗑
Metal   A solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.  
🗑
Nonmetal   One of the elements which do not exhibit metallic properties, generally located in the upper righthand corner of the Periodic Table.  
🗑
Metalloid   an element with properties intermediate between those of a metal and nonmetal  
🗑
Halogen   Halogens are reactive nonmetals having seven valence electrons.  
🗑
Alkali Metals   are very reactive chemical species which readily lose their one valence electron to form ionic compounds with nonmetals.  
🗑
Alkaline Earth Metals   any of the divalent electropositive metals beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium  
🗑
Groups   A section is which elements share similar chemical properties  
🗑
Period   Rows of elements  
🗑
First Ionization Energy   the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion  
🗑
Re activity   responsive to stimulation  
🗑
Bohr Model   the structure of the atom, according to which electrons move in orbits around the nucleus  
🗑
Shell   A set of electron orbitals with the same principal quantum number.  
🗑
Orbital   An energy state in the atomic model which describes where an electron will likely be.  
🗑
Primary Quantum Number   A number used when describing the energy levels available to atoms and molecules.  
🗑
Angular Momentum Quantum Number   the quantum number associated with the angular momentum of an atomic electron.  
🗑
Magnetic Quantum Number   the quantum number that identifies different orbitals within a subshell  
🗑
Electron Spin   A property of an electron that is loosely related to its spin about an axis  
🗑
Hunds Rule   every orbital in a subshell is singly occupied with one electron before any one orbital is doubly occupied  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   no two electrons can have the identical quantum mechanical state in the same atom.  
🗑


   

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.
