🗑
Where are electrons located?   Floating around the nucleus  
🗑
Where are neutrons located?   In the nucleus  
🗑
Where is almost all the weight of an atom located?   In the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
What is an atomic number?   The number of protons an atom has  
🗑
What is atomic mass?   # of protons + # of neutrons - weight of element

🗑
What do all elements in a period have in common?   The same number energy levels  
🗑
What are groups?   Columns in the periodic table  
🗑
What do all elements in groups have in common?   Have similar properties and form similar bonds- same number of valence electrons  
🗑
Metals that are malleable are...   Easily bent and formed into lots of shapes

🗑
What are ions?   When an atom loses or gains an electron -When it loses an electron it is a positive ion and when it gains one it is a negative ion  
🗑
How many valence electrons does an atom need to be satisfied?   8 to form an octet  
🗑
In ionic bonding, electrons are transferred but in covalent bonding they are...   Shared

🗑


   

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.
