        Help!  

Term
Definition
The smallest unit of matter.   Atom  
🗑
Positively charged subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom.   Proton  
🗑
The neutral or no charge subatomic particle that is found in the nucleus of an atom.   Neutron  
🗑
The negatively charged particle found in a cloud around the nucleus of an atom.   Electron  
🗑
The center of the atom, where the protons and neutrons are located.   Nucleus  
🗑
Antother name for the location of electrons on the Bohr model: orbitals,energy levels, rings and ___?   shells  
🗑
The name for the electrons found on the outermost shell or electron ring of an atom.   valence electrons  
🗑
The name of the number on an element key that tells you the number of protons for that element.   atomic number  
🗑
The name of the number on a periodic table element key that shows the number of protons plus neutrons.   atomic mass  
🗑
This is used to describe atoms that have the same number of protons and electrons.   electrically neutral  
🗑
Letters on the periodic table that are shorthand for the name   chemical symbol  
🗑
Protons, neutrons and electrons; parts of an atom   subatomic particles  
🗑
A pure substance, made only of one kind of atom   element  
🗑
Model of an atom showing the placement and numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons   Bohr Model  
🗑
Anything that has mass and volume   matter  
🗑
Horizontal rows on the periodic table; elements in the same row have the same number of electron rings.   period  
🗑
Elements arranged in columns; elements in the same column share similar chemical characteristics since they have the same number of valence electrons.   group  
🗑
Elements found to the left of the zig-zag (metalloid) line; they have luster, are malleable, are good conductors and are solids.   metal  
🗑
Elements found to the right of the zig-zag (metalloid) line; they are gases or are brittle solids at room temperature; they have characteristics opposite of metals.   nonmetal  
🗑
Group of elements that rest on the zig-zag line that show characteristics of both metals and nonmetals.   metalloids  
🗑
Group number 18 on the Periodic Table which are inert due to the fact that their valence electron ring is full.   Noble Gases  
🗑
Unreactive; will not react with other elements.   Inert  
🗑


   

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.
