Chem test #2 Flashcards
Who made the periodic table
Dimitri Mendeleev
What are groups and periods
Groups are the columns and have the same amount of electrons in their valence shells. (Same groups usually have the simmilar properties)
Periods are the horizontal rows.
What is Dimitri Mendeleev’s law
Elements arranged according to the value of their atomic weights present a clear periodicity of properties.
Where are the metals located
To the left of the stair case (exept for hydrogen)
Where are the non metals located
To the right of the stair case
Where are metalloids located
Adjacent to the staircase/ on the staircase
Where are the halogens located
In group 7a or 17 on the right next to the noble gasses
Where are the Alkali metals located
The leftmost group
Where are the Alkaline earth metals located
Group 2 or just right of the Alkali metals
Where are the innertranstion metals located
In the middle, Starting in group 3 and ending in group 12.
Where are the noble gasses
Rightmost group
Properties of metals
Lustre: shiny, Hardness: ductile and malleable, Conductivity: Do concudct electricity, Reactivity: react with acids
Properties of non metals
Lustre: dull, Hardness: brtittle, Conductivity:Do not concudct electricity, Reactivity: do not react with acid
Properties of mealloids
Behave like metals and non-metals
Patterns in the periodic table
Going up or down a column, elements are organized into groups which have similar chemical properties. Moving left or right within a row, the atoms trend smaller or larger in size, and their reactivities go up and down.
