Term
Definition
actinide series   in the periodic table, f-block elements from period 7 that follow element actinium  
🗑
alkali metal   group 1 elements, except for hydrogen, they are reactive and usually exist as compound with other elements  
🗑
alkaline earth metals   group 2 elements in modern periodic table and are highly reactive  
🗑
atomic radius   1/2 the distance between adjacent nuclei  
🗑
electronegativity   indicates relative ability of an elements atoms to attract electrons in a chemical bond  
🗑
formula unit   simplest ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound  
🗑
group   vertical column of elements in the periodic table arranged in order of increasing atomic number, also called a family  
🗑
halogen   highly reactive group 17 elements  
🗑
inner transition metal   type of group B element that is contained in the f-block of periodic table and characterized by a filled outermost orbital and filled or partially filled 4f & 5f orbitals  
🗑
ion   atom or bonded group of atoms with a positive or negative charge  
🗑
ionization energy   energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom, generally increases in moving left to right across a period and decreases moving down a group  
🗑
lanthanide series   in the periodic table, the f-block elements from period 6 that follow the element lanthanum  
🗑
metal   element solid at room temperature; good conductor of heat and electricity and generally is shiny. most are ductile and malleable.  
🗑
metalloid   elements that has physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals  
🗑

🗑
noble gas   extremely unreactive group 18 elements  
🗑
nonmetal   elements that are generally gases or dull, brittle solids that are poor conductors of heat and electricity  
🗑
octet rule   states that atoms gain, lose , or share electrons to acquire stable electron configuration of a noble gas  
🗑
period   horizontal row of elements in the modern periodic table  
🗑
periodic law   states that when elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their properties  
🗑
representative element   elements from groups 1, 2, 13-18 in the modern periodic table, possessing a wider range of chemical and physical properties.  
🗑
transition elements   elements in group 3-12 of modern periodic table and further divided into transition metals and inner transition metals  
🗑
transition metal   elements in group 3-12 contained in d-block of periodic table and with some exceptions characterized by filled outermost s orbital of energy level n and filled or partially filled d orbital of n-1  
🗑
valence electron   electrons in an atoms outermost orbitals determine chemical properties of an element.  
🗑


   

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.
