🗑
Who arranged the elements according to their properties along with the atomic mass of the element.   Dmitri Mendeleev  
🗑
Who arranged the periodic table according to the atomic number.   Henry Moseley  
🗑
The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers is what law?   Periodic law  
🗑
An arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers so that elements with similar properties fall in the same column, or group is the?   Periodic table  
🗑
The name of Group 18   Noble gases  
🗑
The 14 elements with atomic numbers from 58 (Ce) to 71 (Lu)   Lanthanides  
🗑
The 14 elements with atomic numbers from 90 (Th) to 103 (Lr)   Actinides  
🗑
The name of Group 1?   Alkali Metals  
🗑
The name of Group 2?   Alkaline-Earth Metals  
🗑
What are the main-group elements?   The s-block and p-block elements  
🗑
The name of groups 3 - 12?   Transition metals  
🗑
The name of Group 13?   Boron Group  
🗑
The name of Group 14?   Carbon Group  
🗑
The name of Group 15?   Nitrogen Group  
🗑
The name of Group 16?   Chalcogens  
🗑
The name of Group 17?   Halogens  
🗑
1/2 the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms bonded together. Tells you the volume of the atom.   Atomic Radii  
🗑
What happens to the radii as you go from left to right across the periodic table?   Decreases  
🗑
What happens to the radii as you go down the periodic table?   Increases  
🗑
Why does the atomic radii decrease as you go across the periodic table?   The added electrons in the same energy level are gradually pulled closer to the more positively charged nucleus.  
🗑
Why does the atomic radii increase as you go down a group?   Energy levels are added  
🗑
what is the energy required to REMOVE one electron from a neutral atom of an element?   Ionization energy  
🗑
What happens to the ionization energy as you go from left to right across the periodic table?   Increases  
🗑
What happens to the ionization energy as you go down a group on the periodic table?   Decreases  
🗑
A positive ion   Cation  
🗑
A negative ion   Anion  
🗑
The electrons available to be gained, lost or shared when forming a chemical compound.   Valence electrons  
🗑
Mendeleev noticed that properties of elements usually repeated at regular intervals when the elements were arranged in order of increasing?   atomic mass  
🗑
The discovery of the noble gases changed Mendeleev's periodic table by adding a new?   Group  
🗑
To which group do lithium and potassium belong?   Alkali metals  
🗑
Elements in a group or column in the periodic table can be expected to have similar?   properties  
🗑
Mendeleev predicted that the spaces in his periodic table represented?   undiscovered elements  
🗑
Mendeleev attempted to organize the chemical elements based on their?   properties  
🗑
In the modern periodic table, elements are ordered according to?   increasing atomic number  
🗑
The most useful source of general information about the elements for anyone associated with chemistry is a?   periodic table  
🗑
Argon, krypton and xenon belong to what family?   noble gases  
🗑
The most characteristic property of the noble gases is that they are?   largely unreactive  
🗑
Because the first energy level contains only the 1s sublevel, the number of elements in this period is?   two  
🗑
The elements that border the zigzag line in the periodic table are the?   metalloids  
🗑
The most reactive group of the nonmetals are the?   Halogens  
🗑
How many valence electrons in Group 17?   seven  
🗑


   

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.
