Question
Answer
Dmitri Mendeleev   creator of the modern day periodic table.  
🗑
Lothar Myer   Created a periodic table at about the same time as Mendeleev. His work was not published in time so he does not receive credit.  
🗑
Periodic law   the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.  
🗑
Periodic table   an 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   a group 18 element (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon)  
🗑
Lanthanides   the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 58 to 71  
🗑
Actinides   the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 90 through 103  
🗑
Periodicity   a repeating pattern  
🗑
Period   a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table.  
🗑
Family   a vertical column of the periodic table.  
🗑
Series   A group of objects related by linearly varying successive differences in form or configuration  
🗑
Group   a vertical column of the periodic table.  
🗑
s-block elements   includes Groups 1 and 2. chemically reactive metals  
🗑
p-block elements   includes Groups 13 through 18.  
🗑
d-block metals   includes Groups 3 through 12  
🗑
f-block metals   includes the Lanthanides and the Actinides  
🗑
Alkali metals   elements of group 1 of the periodic table  
🗑
Alkaline Earth metals   elements of Group 2 of the periodic table  
🗑
metal   an element that is a good conductor of heat and electricity  
🗑
transition metals   one of the d-block elements that is a metal, with specific metallic properties  
🗑
main-group or representative elements   an element in the s or p-block  
🗑
halogens   elements in group 17(fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine)  
🗑
atomic radius   one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together  
🗑
bonding radius   the distance between two atoms that have been bonded together.  
🗑
ionization energy   the energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element  
🗑
electron affinity   the energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom.  
🗑
valance electron   an electron that is able to be lost gained or shared in the formation of chemical compounds  
🗑
cation   a positive ion  
🗑
anion   a negative ion  
🗑
ion   an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge  
🗑
atomic mass unit   a unit of mass that is exactly 1/12 the mass of a carbon -12 atom or 1.660 x 10-27  
🗑
nonmetal   an element that is a poor conductor of heat and electricity  
🗑
isotope   atoms of the same element that have different masses  
🗑
shielding effect   Electrons in filled sets of s , p orbitals between the nucleus and outer shell electrons shield the outer shell electrons somewhat from the effect of protons in the nucleus; also called screening effect  
🗑


   

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.
