Question
Answer
First scientist to use the word "element"   Robert Boyle  
🗑
Element   A substance that cannot be broken into simpler parts by chemical means  
🗑
Who developed a theory on triads   Dobereiner  
🗑
2 properties of a triad:   1:3 elements with similar properties 2:The atomic weight of the middle element was equal to the average of all 3  
🗑
Examples of triads   Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine Calcium, Strontium, Barium  
🗑
Developed a Law of Octaves   John Newlands  
🗑
Octaves   When elements are arranged in increasing atomic weight the first and eight element have similar properties  
🗑
Creator of the Periodic Table   Dmitri Mendeleev  
🗑
Law of Periodicity   When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic weight the properties of the elements vary periodically.  
🗑
Why did Mendeleev reverse the order of Iodine and Tellurium   To make sure they were in groups with similar properties  
🗑
Discovered a way to determine the number of protons in a nucleus   Henry Mosely  
🗑
Atomic Number   The number of protons in the nucleus of that element  
🗑
3 differences between Mendeleevs and the current Periodic Table   1: Mendeleev used atomic weight, we use atomic number 2: Mendeleev had 63 we have 109 elements 3: There are no gaps in the modern Periodic Table 4: The transition metals are in a separate group in the modern table  
🗑
3 uses of the Periodic Table   Getting atomic numbers and mass numbers Getting relative atomic masses Calculating and writing electronic configuration  
🗑
Mass number   The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in that element  
🗑
Isotope   An atom of the same element with a different mass number due to a different number of neutrons in the nucleus  
🗑
2 isotopes of Hydrogen   Deuterium and Tritium  
🗑
Developed the mass spectrometer   William Aston  
🗑
Functions of a mass spectrometer   Used to detect the presence of isotopes of an elements and the percentages of each of these isotopes. Used to calculate the relative atomic mass of an atom  
🗑
5 stages of the mass spectrometer   Vaporisation, Ionisation, Acceleration, Separation, Detection  
🗑
Use of mass spectrometer in sports   used to detect banned substances in athletes blood  
🗑
Aufbau Principle   The aufbau principle states that when building up the electronic configuration of an atom in its ground state, the electrons occupy the lowest available energy level  
🗑
Hunds rule of maximum multiplicity   This states that when two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, the electrons occupy them singly first before filling them in pairs.  
🗑
Pauli Exclusion Principle   This states that no more than 2 electrons may occupy an orbital and this may only do if they have opposite spin.  
🗑
How many electrons can an s sublevel hold   2  
🗑
How many orbitals can the entire p sublevel hold   6  
🗑
How many electrons can the entire d sublevel hold   10  
🗑
How many orbitals can the entire f orbital hold   18  
🗑


   

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.
