Q

what is a natural element

A

elements you find outside in the natural world, like if you walked outside

18
Q

what is a synthetic element

A

is an element made in a lab; they are radioactive, and they decay into stable elements. they are all the elements beyond atomic #92

19
Q

what is the nucleus

A

is the dense positively charged core of an atom that is made of protons and neutrons

20
Q

What is a bhor-rutherford diagram?

A

a way to show what an atom or ion is made of

21
Q

how you place the electrons on a bhor-rutherford diagram

22
Q

what is an energy shell

A

it is a ring of electrons

23
Q

what is a Lewis dot diagram

A

is the atomic symbol (Li) with the valance electrons around it

24
Q

what is a valance electron

A

the electrons on the last ring/outside of the energy shells

25
how can you find the number of valence electrons
it is the same as the group number
26
how can you find the number of energy shells on a bhor-rutherford
the number of energy shells is equal to the period number on the periodic table
27
why is a Lewis dot diagram useful
it helps in predicting the number and type of bonds which can be formed around an atom, it has to do with stabilizing an atom
28
when you lose or gain electrons your form _____
ions
29
when when atoms share valance electrons they form ____
molecules
30
what does it mean if an atom is not stable
it means it does not have a full valance shell
31
what do you do to show an atom becomes an ion?
you add brackets and then show if it is negative or positive
32
the fewer electrons you have to move the ______ reactive it is
more
33
if you need fewer electrons to complete the energy shell the _____ reactive it is
more
34
what charge do atoms have
they do not have a charge
35
what charge do ions have
they have a positive or negative charge
36
metals react when they ______ valance electrons
lose, they have the valance further away
37
nonmetals react when they ______ valance electrons
gain, they attract other valance electrons
38
in the bottom left corner of the periodic table, the elements are ______
bigger
39
what do you call the elements between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table?
metalloids
40
what are the 2 kinds of nonmetals
reactive nonmetals and noble gases
