Front

How does the modern periodic table organize elements?

Back

By atomic number.

Front

What are alkali metals?

What is the atomic number of an element?

Back

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity.

Front

What is the significance of the Periodic Law?

Back

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

Front

What are noble gases?

Back

Noble gases are elements in Group 18 of the periodic table, known for their lack of reactivity due to having a full valence shell. Example: Neon (Ne).

Front

What is the difference between metals and nonmetals?

Back

Metals are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity, while nonmetals are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors.
