Question
Answer
actinide   one of the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 90 (thorium, Th) through 103 (lawrencium, Lr)  
🗑
alkali metal   one of the elements of Group 1 of the periodic table (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium)  
🗑
alkaline-earth metal   one of the elements of Group 2 of the periodic table (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium)  
🗑
anion   a negative ion  
🗑
atomic radius   one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together  
🗑
cation   a positive ion  
🗑
electron affinity   the energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom  
🗑
electronegativity   a measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons OR a measure of pull between to atoms for electrons  
🗑
halogen   one of the elements of Group 17 (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine)  
🗑
ion   an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge  
🗑
ionization   any process that results in the formation of an ion  
🗑
ionization energy   the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element  
🗑
lanthanide   one of the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 58 (cerium, Ce) to 71 (lutetium, Lu)  
🗑
main-group element   an element in the s-block or p-block  
🗑
periodic law   the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers  
🗑
periodic table   an arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers so that elements with similar properties fall in the same column, or group  
🗑
transition element   one of the d-block elements that is a metal, with typical metallic properties  
🗑
valence electron   an electron that is available to be lost, gained, or shared in the formation of chemical compounds  
🗑
What is the most reactive nonmetal?   Fluorine, F  
🗑
What is the most reactive metal?   Fracium, Fm  
🗑
The most nonreactive group of elements are the __________.   Noble Gases  
🗑
Periods run   horizontally  
🗑
Groups run   vertically  
🗑
In the modern periodic table, elements are ordered according to   increasing atomic number  
🗑
Who created the first periodic table?   Medeleev  
🗑
The first periodic table was ordered according to   increasing atomic mass  
🗑
What is atomic mass?   the weighted average of natural occurring isotopes  
🗑
Who discovered atomic number?   Henry Mosely  
🗑
Group and Period Trends: Atomic radii within a family   increases (number of electrons increases)  
🗑
Group and Period Trends: Atomic radii within a period   decreases (Protons are added; stronger pull toward nucleus)  
🗑
Group and Period Trends: Ionization energy within a family becomes   smaller (easier to take electron from bigger atoms because there are more shells)  
🗑
Group and Period Trends: Ionization energy within a period becomes   harder (more difficult from non-metals and going to noble gases which are "perfect")  
🗑
Do metals or nonmetals have a greater affinity for electrons?   nonmetals  
🗑
Do large atoms or small atoms have a greater electron affinity?   small atoms  
🗑
In chemistry, less energy means   greater stability  
🗑
High electron affinity means   low energy  
🗑
Group and Period Trends: Electronegativity within a group   decreases  
🗑
Group and Period Trends: Electronegativity within a period   increases (toward fluorine)  
🗑
Which element has the highest electronegativity?   fluorine  
🗑
Metals tend to form ______ ions, while nonmetals tend to form _______ ions.   positive; negative  
🗑
Cations tend to be _____ then it's neutral atom, while anions tend to be _______ then it's neutral atom.   smaller; bigger  
🗑
Types of bonds are determined by   electronegativity  
🗑


   

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.
