Question
Answer
Mendeleev arranged the elements based on _________________ in his periodic table.   show
🗑
Elements are ordered according to _____________ on our periodic table.   show
🗑
Elements within the same group have the same number of _________.   show
🗑
The process of losing or gaining electrons is called _________.   show
🗑
Elements that share properties of both metals and nonmetals are called ________.   show
🗑
show appearance  
🗑
Where are alkali metals located on the periodic table?   show
🗑
What exists as single atoms rather than as molecules?   show
🗑
Why are Group 18 noble gases relatively inert?   show
🗑
show False. Silicon IS a semiconductor.  
🗑
show He predicted new elements.  
🗑
show properties  
🗑
A group's elements react similarly because of their ______________.   show
🗑
show reactive  
🗑
show metals  
🗑
Elements in a family in the periodic table have similar _____ and _______ properties.   show
🗑
Which metals are located in the center of the periodic table?   show
🗑
show Group 18  
🗑
show semiconductors or metalloids  
🗑
show patterns  
🗑
show They become less metallic.  
🗑
show less reactive atom  
🗑
Metals tend to be good conductors of heat. True or False?   show
🗑
show reactive  
🗑
How do most halogens form compounds?   show
🗑
show losing electrons to form positive ions  
🗑
Computers use a semiconductor ___________.   show
🗑
show row  
🗑
What does the periodic law state?   show
🗑
Which property, chemical or physical, is determined by the number of valence electrons?   show
🗑
What are nonmetals that do not conduct heat or electricity well called?   show
🗑
Metals are divided into 3 families based on the number of ______ they have.   show
🗑
show Alkali Metals  
🗑
show valence electrons  
🗑
What are not metals but have some properties of metals called?   show
🗑
show Metals are easily shaped and drawn into wires. Nonmetals aren't malleable or ductile. Metals are also shiny.  
🗑
show It is used to organize the elements by atomic number and properties. They can easily find elements with similar physical and chemical properties because they are in the same group or family.  
🗑
show No. They are somewhat-but not entirely-like metals. Metals can conduct heat and electricity. Under certain circumstances, semiconductors can but not always.  
🗑
show Atom=smallest unit of an element Molecule=consists of 2 or more atoms  
🗑
What is the definition of an ion?   show
🗑
show A cation has a positive charge; an anion has a negative charge.  
🗑
show Gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel, and zinc; Uses include wiring, jewelry, and as conductors of heat and electricity  
🗑
How does the period law apply to halogens?   show
🗑
Differentiate alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. Identify ways each are used.   show
🗑
The majority of elements in the periodic table are noble gases or conductors?   show
🗑
