Question/Term
Answer/definition
show 118 elements    
🗑
show gold, silver, tin, copper, lead, iron, and brimstone (sulfur)    
🗑
What five elements did the Ancient Greeks believe matter consisted of?   earth, air, fire, water, and aether   show
🗑
Define Alchemists:   show  
🗑
show 1. Robert Boyle   2. Antoine Lavoisier  
🗑
who's work solidified the position that matter consisted of indivisible particles of elements, rejecting the Greeks concept of matter as mixtures of the five basic elements?   Robert Boyle   show
🗑
show Robert Boyle    
🗑
Who, while researching combustion reactions, demonstrated that combustion require oxygen, and therefore fire formed as oxygen and other materials, and could not be considered an element?   show  
🗑
Who developed Superscripts?   show  
🗑
show Sweden    
🗑
show Symbols Berzelius used to represent how many atoms of each element were present in the compound of an element.    
🗑
How is the modern system different from the Berzelius system of element symbols?   We use subscripts, while Berzelius used superscripts.   show
🗑
What are the two languages a lot of the elements name's come from?   show 2. Latin  
🗑
What element is represented by Na?   sodium   show
🗑
show iron    
🗑
show silver    
🗑
show Johann Döbereiner    
🗑
Define Triads:   show  
🗑
Where was Johann Döbereiner from?   Germany   show
🗑
What did Döbereiner's work prompt scientists to start notesing?   show  
🗑
Define periodicity:   show  
🗑
show John Newlands    
🗑
Who developed the law of octaves?   show  
🗑
Define the law of octaves:   when elements are arranged by atomic mass, the properties of every eighth element are similar.   show
🗑
Who is credited with the earliest form of the periodic law?   show  
🗑
State John Newlands definition of periodic law:   show  
🗑
Who created the earliest form of the periodic table?   Dmitri Mendeleev   show
🗑
What was the most striking features of Mendeleev's periodic table?   The fact that there were blank spaces that he left in between some of the elements,   show
🗑
show X-ray Spectroscopy    
🗑
define periodic law (current periodic law):   The properties of the elements vary in a periodic way with their atomic numbers.   show
🗑
Define Periodic Table Of Elements:   show  
🗑
show Henry Moseley    
🗑
The two names given to a set of elements in the same column on the periodic table.   Family   show
🗑
show The alkali Metals    
🗑
show The alkaline- earth metals    
🗑
What are groups 1B-3B known as?   show  
🗑
What is the thirteenth group known as?   The boron family   show
🗑
show the carbon family    
🗑
What is the 15th group known as?   show  
🗑
What is the 16th group known as?   show  
🗑
show The halogen family    
🗑
What is the 18th group known as?   show  
🗑
Define Period:   A row on the periodic table   show
🗑
Define valence electrons:   Electrons in the outermost energy level of a neutral atom.   show
🗑
What are the elements in the alkali metals?   show  
🗑
What are the elements in the alkaline-earth metals?   Beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, Barium, and Radium   show
🗑
Define metals:   make up almost 80% of elements, and have few valence electrons; they are found to the left of the heavy stair step line on the periodic tables   show
🗑
Typical properties of metal:   Exist as a dense, ductile, malleable, lustrous solid are highly conductive, electrically and thermally Are reactive, especially with nonmetals   show
🗑
show These elements have characteristics between those of metals and nonmetals. They are located along the stair step line and are also called semiconductors.    
🗑
show Exist as a brittle solid with metallic luster are fairly conductive, increasingly so as temperature rises reactivity varies    
🗑
show These elements typically have four or more valence electrons and do not exhibit the general properties of metals. They are to the right of, but not touching, the heavy stair step line on the periodic table    
🗑
Typical properties of nonmetals:   exist as a gas, a liquid, or a dull, brittle solid are poorly conductive, electrically and thermally the reactivity varies   show
🗑
show one    
🗑
How many valance electrons do Alkali earth metals have?   two   show
🗑
Define mixed groups:   show  
🗑
show It is in relation to the structure of the atoms themselves.    
🗑
Where are the valance electrons found?   In the outermost energy level of an element.   show
🗑
show The distance from the center of an atom's nucleus to the electrons in its outermost energy level.    
🗑
As we move down a column in the periodic table:   show  
🗑
As we move to the right across a period in the periodic table:   Adding protons and electrons causes the atom to get smaller   show
🗑
show The measure of an element's ability to attract and hold electrons when bonded to other atoms.    
🗑
List all those who contributed in the development of element discovery in order from oldest to yongest:   show  
🗑


   

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.
