🗑
periodic table   an arrangement of elements in columns, based on a set of properties that repeat from row to row  
🗑
What does the period number (1-7) tell you about the structure of an atom?   the period number is an indication of the number of energy levels an atom of a given element will have.  
🗑
What does the group number(IA-8A) tell you about the structure of an atom?   the group number tells you the number of electrons found in the outermost energy level of the atom  
🗑

🗑
fluorine   the most chemically active nonmetal  
🗑
How do chemical and physical characteristics vary as one moves across the periodic table from left to right?   the elements become less metallic and more nonmetallic in their properties.  
🗑
Which electrons are responsible for the chemical activity of the atom?   valence electrons  
🗑
What happens to the number of valence electrons as one moves across a period?   the number of valence electrons increase as one moves across the period  
🗑
Why do the elements in a given group have similar chemical activity?   They have similar chemical activity because they have the same number of valence electrons.  
🗑
How does the reactivity of alkali metals change from top to bottom in group IA?   reactivity increases from top to bottom  
🗑
aluminum   the most abundant metallic element in the Earth's crust  
🗑

🗑
In Mendeleev's periodic table, elements with similar properties were grouped how?   in the same column  
🗑
How many periods does the modern periodic table have?   7  
🗑
What information did Mendeleev have about the elements he organized into a periodic table?   Mendeleev knew their relative masses and properties  
🗑
Why is the periodic table called the "periodic table"?   The table is called a periodic table because the properties of the elements repeat at regular intervals from row to row  
🗑
Why does the number of elements vary from period to period?   The number of elements per period varies because the number of orbitals incerease as the energy level increases.  
🗑
Explain how the atomic mass of an element is affected by the distribution of its isotopes in nature.   The atomic mass is a weighted average of the atomic masses of an element's isotopes. The distribution of the isotopes determine how much each isotope affectes the weighted average.  
🗑
In general, what happens to the reactivity of elements in groups labled A as atomic number increase across a period>   Across a period from left to right, metals become less reactive and nonmetals become more reactive.  
🗑
Why don't the elements with an A group in the periodic table have identical properties?   Elements in the same A group don't have identical properties because their valence electrons are in different energy levels.  
🗑
How many valence electrons would an element with an atomic number of 12 and an atom mass number of 24?   2  
🗑
How many full energy levels would an element with an atomic number of 12 and an atom mass number of 24?   2  
🗑
How many energy levels would an element with an atomic number of 12 and an atom mass number of 24?   3  
🗑
How many electrons would an element with an atomic number of 12 and an atom mass number of 24?   12  
🗑
How many neutrons would an element with an atomic number of 12 and an atom mass number of 24?   12  
🗑
How would you calculate the number of neutrons in an atom?   To calculate the number of neutrons in an atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass number  
🗑
Why is hydrogen located in a group with reactive metals?   hydrogen is placed with other elements that have a single valence electron.  
🗑
Which group of elements are least reactive?   Noble Gases  
🗑
Why are Noble Gases chemically inactive.   Noble gases are chemically inactive due to the fact that all have a full outermost energy level or at least 8 electrons.  
🗑
