Term
Definition
periodic table   An arrangement of all of the elements by atomic number (protons), in which elements of similar properties are grouped in columns.  
🗑
reactive   An atom's ability to combine with other atoms with their valence electrons.  
🗑
group / family   The 18 vertical (up & down) columns on the periodic table. These elements have similar properties.  
🗑
periods   The 7 horizontal (across) rows of elements on the periodic table.  
🗑
metal   An element to the left of the stair step on the periodic table that can be classified based on physical properties (shiny, malleable, ductile). These elements also easily give up valence electrons in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
nonmetal   An element to the right of the zig-zag on the periodic table that can be classified based on physical properties (dull, brittle, non-ductile). These elements are also poor conductors of heat & electricity.  
🗑
metalloid   The elements that sit on or just below the zig-zag line. They have physical properties of both metals and nonmetals.  
🗑
noble gases   Elements in group 18 that are non-reactive. They have a full valence shell (8 electrons or 2 for He)  
🗑


   

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.
