Periodic Table Review

Front

What are the elements with the most similar chemical properties?

Back

Elements in the same group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties. For example, Potassium (K) and Sodium (Na) are both alkali metals and share similar properties.

How did Mendeleev arrange the elements in his periodic table?

Back

Mendeleev arranged the elements in rows according to their atomic mass.

Front

Which elements are likely to have similar properties?

Back

Elements in the same group have similar properties. For example, Oxygen (O), Sulfur (S), and Selenium (Se) are in Group 16 and share similar properties.

Front

What are the blue elements on the left side of the periodic table called?

Back

The blue elements on the left side of the periodic table are called metals.

Front

What are the atoms located along the staircase line in the periodic table called?

Back

The atoms along the staircase line are called metalloids.

Front

What is the significance of groups in the periodic table?

Back

Groups in the periodic table indicate elements that have similar chemical properties and the same number of valence electrons.

Front

What are noble gases and where are they located in the periodic table?

Back

Noble gases are located in Group 18 of the periodic table and are known for their lack of reactivity due to having a full valence shell.

Front

What is the difference between metals and nonmetals?

Back

Metals are typically good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile, while nonmetals are poor conductors and are often brittle.

Front

What are alkali metals and where are they found in the periodic table?

Back

Alkali metals are found in Group 1 of the periodic table and are highly reactive, especially with water.

Front

What is the periodic law?

Back

The periodic law states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic numbers.
