🗑
Group 2 aka 2A   Alkaline-earth metals  
🗑
Group 13 -16 aka 3A 4A 5A 6A   No common names  
🗑
Group 17 aka 7A   Halogens  
🗑
Group 18 aka 8A   Noble gases  
🗑
Group 3 - 12   Transition metals  
🗑
Metal Properties   Shiny luster, Conductors of electricity and Heat, Ductile, Malleable, Form alloys-solid solutions.  
🗑
Nonmetal properties   Generally dull appearance, Insulators, Brittle.  
🗑
Metalloids   Behave mostly as nonmetals except for the ability to partially conduct electricity (semi-conductors) "Borderline" elements.  
🗑
Atom   Smallest particle of matter that possess the properties of the element.  
🗑
(Electrical Charges of Atoms) Positive Charges   Repel  
🗑
(Electrical Charges of Atoms) Negative Charges   Repel  
🗑
(Electrical Charges of Atoms) Unlike Charges   Attract  
🗑
Atomic number and mass number   All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.  
🗑
Atomic #   number of protons in the nucleus  
🗑
Mass #   Number of protons + number of neutrons  
🗑
Because an atom is electrically neutral   The protons equal the same as the electrons.  
🗑
Isotopes   Atoms(elements) that have the same atomic number (protons) but different atomic mass(neutrons). Isotopes occur in nature at different abundance percentages.  
🗑
Elctromagnetic Radiation   is energy that travels as waves through space. is described in terms of wavelength and frequency. moves at the speed of light ia a vacuum.  
🗑
Wavelength   is the distance from a peak in one wave to the peak in the next. is expessed in meters (m) or nanometers (nm)  
🗑
Frequency   is the number of waves that pass by each second. is expressed in hertz, which is equal to cycles per second.  
🗑
Inverse relationship of wavelengh and frequencies   longer wavelenghths have lower frequencies. shorter wavelenghts have higher frequencies. different types of electromagnetic radiation have different wavelengths and frequencies.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum   arrangess forms of energy from lowest to highest. arranges energy from longest to shortest wavelenghts. shows visable light with wavelenghts from 700-400nm  
🗑
Photons   are packets of energy emitted as light. travel at the speed of light. have energy directly proportional to thier frequency. with high energy have short wavelenghts.with low energy have long wavelenghts.  
🗑
Atomic spectrum   consists of lines of different colors formed when light from a heated element passes through a prism. photons emitted when electrons drop to lowere energy levels.  
🗑
Electron Energy levels   are labeled n=1. n=2, n=3, and so on. increase in energy as n increases. have the electrons with the lowest energy in th efirst energy level(n=1)closest to the nucleus.  
🗑
An Electron   absorbs photons of a specific energy to "jump" to a higher energy level. Falls to a lowere energy level by emitting photons of a specific energy.  
🗑
Energy Levels   are assigned quantum numbers n=1,2,3,4, abd so on. increase in energy as the value of n increases. have a maximum number of electrons equal to 2n squared.  
🗑
Sublevel (defined shape)   containes electrons with the same energy. has the same shape but increases in volume at higher energy levels. is found within each energy level. is designated by the letters s,p,d,or f.  
🗑
In any energy level   the s sublevel has the lowest energy. the s sublevel is folled by the p, d, f, sublevels. higher sublevels are possible, but only s, p, d, f sublevels are needed to hold the number of electrons in the atoms known today.  
🗑
An orbital or "house"   is thre-dimensional space around a nucles where an electron is found most of the time. has a shape that represents electron density(not a path the electron follows)can hold up to two electrons . contains two electrons that spin in opposite directions.  
🗑
S subshell   contains 1 orbital holds 2 e-  
🗑
P subshell   contains 3 orbitals holds 6 e-  
🗑
d subshell   contains 5 orbitals holds 10 e-  
🗑
f subshell   contains 7 orbitals holds 14 e-  
🗑
An S orbital   has a spherical shape around the nucleus. increases in size around the nucleus as the energy level n value increases is a single orbital found in each s sublevel.  
🗑
P orbital   Has a two-lobed shape " dumbelled shape" is one of three p orbitals that make up each p sublevel, each aligned along a different axis. increases in size as the value onf n increases.  
🗑
Atomic radius   is the distance from the nucleus to the valence electrons. the atomic radius decreases going from left to right accross a period. as more protons increase the nuclear atrraction for valence electrons.  
🗑
Ionization energy   is the energy it takes to remove a valence electron. Metals have 1-3 valence electrons and lower ionization energies.  
🗑
Ionization energy of nonmetals   5-7 valence electrons and have higher ionization energies.  
🗑
Ionazation energy of noble gases   have complete octects (he has two valence electrons) the highest ionization energies in each period.  
🗑
A positive ion   has lost its valence electrons. is smaller than the corresponding metal atom (about half the size)  
🗑
A negative ion   has a complete octect. increases the number of valence electrons. is larger than the corresponding nonmetal atom (about twice the size)  
🗑
An octet   is 8 valence electrons. is associated with the stability of the noble gases does not occuur with He, which is stable with two valence elctrons(duet)  
🗑
Atoms acuire octets   to become more stable. by losing, gaining, or sharing valence electrons. by formaing ionic or covalent bonds.  
🗑
Ionic bonds   involve loss of electrons by a metal. gain of electrons by a nonmetal.  
🗑
Covalent Bonds   involve a sharing of electrons.  
🗑
Metals (Cations)   Lose electrons, become positive, +1, +2, +3. Written first  
🗑
Non-Metals (Anions)   Gain electrons, become negative, -1, -2, -3. end with ide. Follows metal  
🗑
2 ways to get an octet   1) Completele lose or gain e-(charged atoms-ions) Ionic. 2) Share a covalent.  
🗑
Ionic compounds   Formulas that contain (metals)(nonmetals). complete transfer of electrons. Electrostatic bond-opposite charge attract. Overall charge must be "0"  
🗑
Naming Ionic Compounds with two elements   Identify the cation and anion. Name the cation by its element name. Name the anion by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide. Write the name of the cation first and the name of the anion second.  
🗑
Fomula NaCl (NA+ Cl-)   Sodium Chloride  
🗑
Formula K2S (K+ S2-)   Potassium sulfide  
🗑
Formula MgO (Mg2+ 02-)   Magnesium Oxide  
🗑
Transition metals   Two different ions use a Roman numeral after the name of the metal to indicate the ionic charge. Only Zinc, Silver, and Cadmium do not use a Roman Numeral because they form only one ion.  
🗑
Naming Ionic Compounds with Variable Charge Metals   Determine the charge of the cation from the anion. Name the cation by its element name and use a Roman numeral in parentheses for the charge. Name the anion by using the first syllable of its element name followed by ide.  
🗑
