Term
Definition
group/family   vertical column of elements in the periodic table; have the same number and arrangement of valence electrons  
🗑
period   horizontal row of elements in the periodic table  
🗑
valence electrons   electrons located in the last energy level/shell of an atom  
🗑
metals   element that have the property of shiny luster, ductility, and malleability. most elements are metals  
🗑
luster   the way a material reflects light  
🗑
malleable   able to be hammered into different shapes  
🗑
ductile   able to be drawn into thin wires [metals]  
🗑
nonmetals   elements that have different property then metals; dull and brittle; located to the right of the zig zag line on the periodic table  
🗑

🗑
isotope   atom of a elements that has the same number of protons as the other atom, but a different number of neutrons  
🗑
ion   charged atom formed when the atom gains or looses electrons  
🗑
ionic bond   bond formed between atoms that have gained or lost electrons; one atom transfers electrons to another  
🗑
covalent bond   bond formed when atoms share electrons  
🗑
subscript   little numbers below the line that tells you how many atoms of an element there are in a molecule EX: H2O, the subscript is 2  
🗑
coefficient   regular sized numbers in front of a formula that tells you how many molecules there are EX: 3 H2O, the coefficient is 3  
🗑
reactant   molecules to the left of the arrow in the chemical equation  
🗑


   

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.
