The periodic table Flashcards
(57 cards)
what’s an element
substance which consists of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down by chemical means
what’s a compound
Elements
a substance that consists of two or more elements chemically combined
what’s an atom
simplest particle of an element which can exist on its own
what’s a molecule
a particle which consists of
a particle which consists of two or more atoms chemically bonded together
name 5 differences between Mendeleev’s periodic table
more, trans, ng, a+l, an vs am
- modern table is arranged in atomic number vs Mendeleev arranged in atomic mass
- there are more elements in modern and no gaps
- block of transition metals
- noble gases
- actinides and lanthanides
who created the first periodic table in order of what
(gaps)
Dmitri Mendeleev in order of atomic mass. He left gaps for undiscovered elements
what is a period
the horizontal row
what is a group
the vertical column
6 properties of metals
- conduct electricity
- conduct heat
- ductile
- malleable
- high melting point
- sonorous
7 properties of non-metals
- usually don’t conduct heat
- usually don’t conduct electricity
- not ductile
- not malleable
- usually brittle
- usually low melting point
- non sonorous
what two NON METALS conduct heat and electricity
- graphite
- graphene
what 3 NON METALS have high melting points
- graphite
- graphene
- diamond
what are group 1 metals called and what’s special about them
alkali metals
the most reactive metals
what are group 2 metals called
alkaline earth metals
- less reactive than group 1
what are group 7 elements called and what’s special about them
halogens
- most reactive non metals
what are group 0 elements called
and what’s special about them
noble gases
- unreactive
what are the 11 gases at room temp and pressure
Hell No Fuck Off Caroline No Guys
hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the noble gases (last group)
what are the 2 liquids at room temp and pressure
bromine
mercury
what does diatomic mean
means there are two atoms covalently bonded in a molecule
when writing the formulae of diatomic molecules in a balanced symbol equation what needs to be included after
a small 2 after the symbol to indicate two atoms joined in a molecules e.g. H2, O2
what are the 7 diatomic elements
How No One Forgets CLaire’s BRilliant Ideas
hydrogen - H2
Nitrogen - N2
oxygen - O2
fluorine - F2
chlorine - Cl2
bromine - Br2
iodine - I2
7 properties of group 1 metals
r, s, ec, t, ld, lmp, ce
- reactive
- soft and easily cut
- tarnishes
- low density
- low melting point
- conduct electricity
how are group 1 (alkali metals) stored
under oil to prevent reaction with oxygen and moisture in air
what is the trend going down group 1 and why
reactivity increases - the outer shell electron is lost more rapidly because of the increasing distance of the electron
melting point decreases
