What is an extended structure?

Back

An extended structure is a type of structure where atoms are bonded in a repeating pattern, forming a large network.

Front

What are periods on the periodic table?

Back

Periods are horizontal rows on the periodic table that indicate the number of electron shells in the elements.

Front

What are groups on the periodic table?

Back

Groups are vertical columns on the periodic table that contain elements with similar chemical properties.

Front

What is a simple molecule?

Back

A simple molecule is a chemical structure that consists of a small number of atoms bonded together, typically two or more of the same or different elements.

Front

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

Back

An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances, while a compound is made up of two or more elements chemically combined.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table?

Back

The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties.

Front

What is a water molecule?

Back

A water molecule is a simple molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O).

Front

What are the properties of metals?

Back

Metals are typically shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, and ductile.

Front

What are the properties of nonmetals?

Back

Nonmetals are usually dull, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and can be gases, liquids, or solids at room temperature.
