what do squares on the periodic table show
shows the atomic number, atomic mass, chemical symbol, & chemical name
What can the periodic table may also show
may also show state of matter and energy levels of electrons
how is the periodic tbale organanized
the table is organized by increasing atomic number which is also the number of protons in the nucleus
what do columns (aka: families or groups) conatin
contain elements with similar chemical properties
what are the three groups that all elements are divided into
metals, nonmetals, and metalloids
where are metals on the periodic table
on the left and center (75%) of all
where are nonmetals on the periodic table
on the far right
where are metalloids on the periodic table
along a zigzag line between metal and nonmetals
are pure elements common in nature
no, pure elements are not common in nature
what do atoms do in nature
atoms will combine and form compunds
what is a chemical bond
a force that holds 2 or more atoms together
in an uncarged atom, how many positive protons and negative elecrons are there
there is an equal number of positively charged protons as there are negatively charged electrons
where is the exact location of electrons in an unchraged atom
the exact location is not known but they exist in regions around the nucleus
do different electrons have different amounts of energy
yes
what are ENERGY LEVELS
the electron moves around the nucleus at a distance that relates to its energy
where are the lowest energy levels
are those closest to the nucleus, and increase as the distance from the nucleus increases.
look at the structure of atoms
(lewis dot structure, bhor diarams)
what could you compare the relationship of a electron to their nucleus to
to a magnet
how are the lower energy levels, closest to the nucleus, held to the nucleus
held very strongly to the nucleus
how are electrons farther away from the nucleus held to the nucleus
held very weakly to the nucleus
that can happen to weakly attached electrons
these electrons can be pulled towards the nucleus of other atoms(causes the chemical bond)
what are valence electrons
the outermost electrons involved in chemical bonding
which electrons have the most energy of all electrons in an atom
valence electrons
what can the number of valence electrons help deterimine
can help deterimne the type and number of bonds it can form
