vocabulary for matter and elements

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
matter   anything that takes up space and has mass  
🗑
mass   the material that matter is made up of  
🗑
volume   how much room/space matter takes up  
🗑
density   D=m/v the amount of material/stuff matter takes up within a specific space  
🗑
atom   smallest part of an element, the building blocks of matter  
🗑
elements   particle of an atom that surrounds the nucleus, it has a negative charge and attractive force to bond with other atoms  
🗑
proton   particle of an atoms that positive charge located in the nucleus  
🗑
neutron   particle of an atom with a neutral/ no change located inside the nucleus along with the proton  
🗑
periodic table   large grid that identifies and classifies all of the elements by their chemical and physical properties  
🗑
element   the simplest substances that cannot be broke down/ they make up all matter in the universe  
🗑
period/rows   rows that tell how many energy levels each elements has for the electrons to move around  
🗑
groups or family/colums   columns that tell how many valence each element has/ the number of electrons that can move on its outer shell/ energy level  
🗑
valence electrons   the electrons that move on the outer shell/ energy level of an atom  
🗑
atomic number   how many protons an element has inside the nucleus/ usually is the same number of neutrons and electrons  
🗑
atomic mass   the measurement of the mass for an elements aatoms  
🗑
chemical property   the ability of substances to combine with one another forming new and different compounds and molecules  
🗑
physical property   the state of matter and appearances of a substance  
🗑
ionic bond   when elements either lose or gain an electron during bonding  
🗑
covalent   when elements share electrons during bonding  
🗑
chemical change/ reaction   elements bond together the attractive force of electrons creating some type of reactions and change  
🗑
compound/molecule   two or more elements combine together in a specific ratio/ pattern creating a whole, new and diffrent substance  
🗑
mixture   two or more substances combine together keeping their original properties the do NOT change into a new substance/ compunnd  
🗑
Nobel gases   they are the most stable elements because they have eight electrons in their outer shell  
🗑
haogens   they are very reactive bonding easily with elements because they have seven valence electrons and want t be stable  
🗑
alkali metals   they are very reactive because they have only one valence electron  
🗑
metalloids   elements between metals and non-metals that can react either way, they have 3--7 valance electrons  
🗑


   

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.
