ATOMS AND PERIODIC TABLE

        Help!  

DEFINITION
TERM
This is an atom of an element that has the same number of protons but different number of neutrons   ISOTOPE  
🗑
average of the masses of the isotopes of an element   ATOMIC MASS  
🗑
the electrons found in the outermost energy level of an atom   VALENCE ELECTRONS  
🗑
number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.   ATOMIC NUMBER  
🗑
the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom   MASS NUMBER  
🗑
the positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom   PROTONS  
🗑
neutrally charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom   NEUTRONS  
🗑
negatively charged particles found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom   ELECTRONS  
🗑
What is the name of the group of elements that are the most reactive metals?   ALKALI METALS (group 1)  
🗑
Which group of elements are stable (unreactive)?   NOBLE GASES (group 18)  
🗑
Which group of elements are the most reactive nonmetals?   HALOGENS (group 17)  
🗑
What property are the groups in the periodic table arranged by?   SIMILAR PROPERTIES  
🗑
vertical columns of elements on the periodic table, arranged by similar properties   GROUP  
🗑
horizontal rows of elements on the periodic table   PERIOD  
🗑
How many periods and groups are on the periodic table?   PERIODS-7, GROUPS-18  
🗑
When elements from groups 1 and 17 combine, the elements from which group are most likely to lose an electron?   GROUP 1 ELEMENTS, WHEN FORMING A COMPOUND WITH A GROUP 17 ELEMENT ARE MOST LIKELY TO LOSE AN ELECTRON  
🗑
What causes an atom to be chemically reactive? (why will it tend to bond with other elements?)   An atom is usually chemically reactive because its outer energy level is not full.  
🗑
Who was the first person to create a periodic table of elements?   Dmitri Mendeleev  
🗑
If the atomic number of an element is 9 and the mass number is 20, what is the number of neutrons?   11  
🗑
What is the name of the element with 20 protons?   CALCIUM  
🗑
How many elements are found in nature?   92  
🗑
The dense, positively charged center of an atom is called the _   NUCLEUS  
🗑
The chemical properties of an element depend the the location of these   electrons  
🗑
which group number is known as the noble gases?   group 18  
🗑
Group number 1 is known as __   the ALKALI METALS  
🗑
Group 2 is known as the __   the ALKALINE EARTH METALS  
🗑
Which group is more reactive, one or two?   one--it has less valence electrons  
🗑
What's the relationship between valence number and reactivity?   In general, the more valence electrons, the lower the reactivity with the EXCEPTION of group 17 (Halogens). The halogens are very reactive because they only need one more electron to become stable.  
🗑
If an element with atomic # 26 has 26 neutrons, is it an isotope? Explain choice.   No, because the # of neutrons is same as # of protons.  
🗑
If an element with atomic # 27 has 26 neutrons, is it an isotope? Explain choice.   Yes, because the number of neutrons differs from # of protons.  
🗑
Name this element: there's 2 electrons in 1st shell, 6 in second shell.   OXYGEN (atomic # 8)  
🗑
Name this element: there's 2 electrons in 1st shell, 8 in second shell, and 5 in last shell.   PHOSPHORUS (atomic #15)  
🗑
developed nuclear model of atom   Rutherford  
🗑
Which scientist proposed the "plum pudding" model?   JJ. Thomson  
🗑
In a single neutral atom the number of protons equals the number of __   electrons  
🗑
a charged atom   ION  
🗑
if an element has more protons than electrons, then it's considered to be __   an ion  
🗑


   

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.
