(28 cards)
What is a period?
Each row is a period. There are seven periods
What is a family?
Another name for a family is a group. Each column is a group
What are the 3 catégorie that elements are classified in?
Metals, mon metals and metalloids
What are properties of metals?
Good conductors of heat and electricity Malleable and ductile Lustre React with acid Solids at room temp expect mercury
Where are metals located on the periodic table?
On the left of the staircase
What are properties of non metals?
Poor conductors of heat and electricity Not malleable and ductile Not lustrous Don’t react with acid Gasses at room temp expect hydrogen
Where are non metals located on the periodic table?
To the right of the staircase
What are metalloids?
Show some characteristics Of metals and some of non metals
Where are the metalloids located?
On the staircase
In a period all the atoms have the same number of….
SHELLS! for example, if the atom in the second period, it will have two shells
All the atoms in A family have the same number of…
VALENCE ELECTRONS!
What is a valence electron?
It is the electron in The outer most shell of an atom
Name properties of alkali metals.
Soft, highly reactive
Must be stored in oil because they are very reactive and can react with the moisture in the air
They are never found in their elemental state but instead they exist as compounds
What are alkaline earth metals?
Very malleable and reactive
Burn easily
Nor found in their elemental state
They can be exposed to air
What are noble gases?
Very stable which means they don’t react
Found in their elemental state in nature
What are halogens?
Non metals and they react easily
Disinfectants
What is the atomic number?
The number of protons (and electrons)
What is the relative atomic mass?
nUmber on the bottom. Reference to carbon
What is the atomic mass?
Sum of protons and neutrons
What do the three isotope hydrogens have?
All have 1 proton
the three forms of hydrogen differ only in the number of what?
in their number of neutrons which affects their mass number
how do you write an isotope?
putting the name of element dash the mass number
what are the 4 ways of representing atoms?
Louis notation, Rutherford bohr atomic model, the simplified atomic model, ball and stick model
what are the rules for the first twenty elements?
- the first shell can contain a maximum of 2 electrons
- the second can contain a max of 8 electrons
- the third can contain a max of 18
