Question
Answer
Element symbols   Abbreviation for the chemical elements  
🗑
Law of constant composition   A given compound always contains elements in exactly the same proportion by mass. A compound is always organized in the same way by mass.  
🗑
Dalton's atomic theory   1. Elements are made up of atoms. 2. All atoms for an element are identical (same properties). 3. Compounds: atoms from different elements combined. They always have the same # and types of atoms 4. Atoms are indivisible in chemical processes.  
🗑
Compound   Substance composed of the atoms of 2 or more elements  
🗑
Chemical Formula   The types and how many atoms are present in a molecule  
🗑
Electrons   Negatively charged particles found in an atom. Smaller than neutrons and protons. -1  
🗑
Nuclear atom   An atom with dense center of positive charge (nucleus) that is surrounded by electrons.- Rutherford  
🗑
Nucleus   Dense center of positive charge (protons and neutrons). Center of an atom.  
🗑
Proton   Positively charged particle. +1  
🗑
Neutron   Bigger than a proton (no charge)  
🗑
Isotopes   atoms w the same # of protons but different numbers of neutrons (different mass). Ex Carbon-14 14/6 C  
🗑
Atomic Number   The # of protons in a nucleus. Z  
🗑
Mass Number   Neutrons + protons. A  
🗑
Periodic table   Shows all the known elements and gives information about them.  
🗑
Groups   Families of elements with similar chemical properties that lie in the same vertical column.  
🗑
Alkali metals   Group 1- column  
🗑
Alkaline earth metals   Group 2 of elements  
🗑
Halogens   Group 7 of elements  
🗑
Noble gases   Group 8 of elements  
🗑
Transition metals   Large collection of elements  
🗑
Metals   1. Conductors of electricity and heat 2. Malleable (can be hammered into thin seets) 3. Ductile (can be pulled into wires) 4. Lustrous (shiny)  
🗑
Non metals   All the opposite of metals  
🗑
Metalloids or semimetals   Have metallic and nonmetallic properties  
🗑
Diatomic molecules   Molecules made up of 2 atoms. Ex. H, O, N, Cl, F, Br, I.  
🗑
Ion   Entity with a positive or negative charge. Opposite charges attract and become neutral 3D array (cations surrounded by anions)  
🗑
Cation   Positive ion= metals that lose electrons  
🗑
Anion   Negative ion= nonmetals that gain electrons  
🗑
Ionic Compounds   Compound formed getween a metal and a nonmetal. It must have a net charge of zero. Ex Na+ Cl-  
🗑
Compound   Combination of elements  
🗑
Molecule   Particle composed of 2 or more nonmetal atoms. Simplest particle of a binary molecular compound  
🗑
Atom   Tiny particles that compose elements  
🗑
Plum pudding model   Electrons were evenly distributed among a homogeneous sphere of + charge- Thomson  
🗑
Atomic notation   tells the # of p+ and N in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑


   

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.
