CP Chem Exam Review Part 4

Front

What are the transition metals on the periodic table?

Back

Transition metals are the metallic elements found in groups 3 to 12 of the periodic table, characterized by their ability to form variable oxidation states and colored compounds.

Front

What does the orbital diagram for nitrogen look like?

Back

The orbital diagram for nitrogen (atomic number 7) shows 5 electrons: 1s² 2s² 2p³, with the 2p orbitals each containing one electron before pairing.

Front

Where are nonmetals located on the periodic table?

Back

Nonmetals are located in the top right corner of the periodic table.

Front

What is group 18 on the periodic table?

Back

Group 18 is known as the noble gases, which include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.

Front

What is group 2 on the periodic table?

Back

Group 2 is known as the alkaline earth metals, which include beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium.

Front

What are noble gases?

Back

Noble gases are a group of chemical elements that are odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity, found in group 18.

Front

What are halogens?

Back

Halogens are the elements found in group 17 of the periodic table, known for their reactivity and tendency to form salts with metals.

Front

What are metalloids?

Back

Metalloids are elements that have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals, typically found along the zig-zag line on the periodic table.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table's groups?

Back

The groups (columns) of the periodic table indicate elements with similar chemical properties and the same number of valence electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table's periods?

Back

The periods (rows) of the periodic table indicate the number of electron shells in the atoms of the elements.
