Question
Answer
Dmitri Mendeleev   Russian chemist who worked to come up with the periodic table  
🗑
Lothar Myer   German chemist who came up with a periodic table.  
🗑
Periodic law   The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.  
🗑
Periodic table   is the arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers so that elements with similar properties fall in the same column or group  
🗑
Noble Gas   Group 18 on the periodic table. Elements in this group are stable because their outer electron shell is full.  
🗑
Lanthanides   are the14 elements with atomic numbers from 58 to 71. cerium to lutetium. Ce to Lu.  
🗑
Actinides   are the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 90 to 103. thorium to lawrencium. Th to Lr.  
🗑
Periodicity   The variation of properties of elements based on their atomic number and position on the periodic table.  
🗑
Period   horizontal row of elements in the periodic table.  
🗑
Family   vertical column of elements in the periodic table  
🗑
Series   a listing of metals according to their decreasing activity  
🗑
Group   horizontal row of elements in the periodic table.  
🗑
s-block elements   are chemically reactive metals. Contains the alkali metals and alkaline-earth metals. Found in column 1 and 2.  
🗑
p-block elements   consist of all elements in group 13 to 18 except helium.Considered with the s block to be the main-group elements.  
🗑
d-block metals   first starts when n equals 3. it is the groups from 3 to 12 which is the transition metals.  
🗑
f-block metals   on the periodic table it is wedge between group 3 and 4. Involve the filling of the 4f sublevel  
🗑
Alkali metals   The elements of group 1 of the periodic table. Have silvery appearance and can be cut by a knife.  
🗑
Alkaline Earth metals   The elements of group 2 of the periodic table. Harder denser and stronger than Alkali metals.  
🗑
metal   an element that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.  
🗑
transition metals   d-block elements, are metals typical metallic properties. Are good conductors and have high luster.  
🗑
main-group or representative elements   an element in the s or p block  
🗑
halogens   elements of group 17.Most reactive nonmetals.  
🗑
atomic radius   one half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together.  
🗑
bonding radius   the distance between two or more elements that are chemically bonded  
🗑
ionization energy   the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element  
🗑
electron affinity   The energy that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral atom of an element.  
🗑
valance electron   an electron that is able to be gained,lost, or shared in the formation if a chemical compound.  
🗑
cation   a positive ion  
🗑
anion   a negative ion  
🗑
ion   an atom or group of atoms that have a negative chrage.  
🗑
atomic mass unit   a unit of mass that is exzactly 1/12 the mass of a carbon 12 atom, or 1.660540x10-27  
🗑
nonmetal   an element that is a poor conductor of electricity and heat.  
🗑
isotope   atoms of the same element that have different masses  
🗑
shielding effect   electrons in the filled sets of s, p orbitals between the nucleus and outer shell electrons somewhat from the effect of protons in the nucleus  
🗑


   

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.
