Multiple Select
Elements in the same group have : (2 correct answers)
Similar chemical properties
Similar names
Same number of outer (valence) electrons)
The same number of protons
12
Multiple Choice
The blue elements (left side) are called
13
Multiple Select
which 2 elements have the same number of valence electrons?
Mg
Ca
B
He
14
Poll
How comfortable are you with understanding the Periodic Table and understanding the relationships between its elements?
Extremely confident!
I feel good but not 100%
I remember only a little...
What is the periodic table?
15
Periodic Table divisions:
The Periodic Table is divided into groups and periods.
Groups run up and down.
Periods run side to side.
REMEMBER: "The groups! The groups! The groups are in columns! The rows! The rows! The rows are periods!
16
Multiple Choice
Groups run:
up and down
left to right
17
Multiple Choice
Periods run:
up and down
left to right
18
Periodic Table Groups:
Groups are also called "families"
REMEMBER*: Groups are in "columns!"
Groups share common characteristics; i.e. All group 1 elements explode in water. All group 18 elements DON'T react.
Fluorine and Chlorine are in the same GROUP (17), SO, they share the same PROPERTIES.
19
Multiple Choice
Which two elements share common characteristics based on the periodic table?
Sodium and Magnesium
Chlorine and Sulfur
Argon and Neon
Calcium and Bromine
20
Periodic Table Periods:
Periods run in rows.
Each period has the same number of electron shells. i.e. Hydrogen and Helium have 1 electron shell. Lithium and Boron have 2.
This means each period has the same number of ENERGY LEVELS!
21
Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals
The periodic table is divided into 3 types of chemicals
They are in alphabetical order: 1. Metal, 2. Metalloid, 3. Nonmetal
Metals are the largest group
Metalloids are the smallest group between metals and nonmetals.
22
Multiple Choice
Metals are on the:
Left side
Right Side
Stairstep
23
Multiple Choice
Metalloids are on the:
Left side
Right Side
Stairstep
24
Multiple Choice
Nonmetals are on the:
Left side
Right Side
Stairstep
25
Metals
Metals are on the left side of the table.
Characteristics include: malleable, ductile, shiny, and conductive (electricity and heat)
26
Metalloids
Metalloids are on the stairstep between metals and nonmetals.
Characteristics include: somewhat malleable, a little ductile, somewhat shiny, and conductive at high temperatures
27
Nonmetals
Nonmetals are on the right side of the table.
Dull, brittle, non-conductors
GASES ARE ALSO NONMETALS!
28
Multiple Choice
A student is studying a mystery substance. It breaks easily. It has a very dull luster. It doesn't conduct any electricity. What is the most likely substance this is?
Metal
Metalloid
Nonmetal
29
Multiple Choice
The same student works with a new substance. He concludes it conducts electricity very well. It has a very shiny luster. When he hammers it, it simply dents and flattens. What is the most likely substance type?
Metal
Metalloid
Nonmetal
30
Multiple Choice
The third substance the student works with is a little brittle. It is just a little shiny. When he tries to conduct electricity through it at first, it doesn't conduct, but upon heating up, it does start to allow electrons to flow. What is the most likely substance type?
Metal
Metalloid
Nonmetal
31
Multiple Choice
An atom of which element is represented by this model?
Neon (Ne)
Boron (B)
Nitrogen (N)
Carbon (C)
32
Multiple Choice
What part of the atom determines the identity of an atom?
Electrons
Neutrons
Protons
Nucleus
33
Atoms Structure
protons are positive and they are located inside the nucleus
Electrons are negative and they are located outside the nucleus
Neutrons are neutral and they are located inside the nucleus
ATOMS LIKE TO HAVE 8 ELECTRONS IN ORDER TO BE STABLE. ATOMS/ELEMENTS WITH LESS THAN 8 ELECTRONS WILL REACT WITH OTHER ATOMS/ELEMENTS IN ORDER TO ATTEMPT TO BECOME STABLE! THIS IS HOW ELEMENTS/ATOMS CREATE OTHER SUBSTANCES/MATTER, SUCH AS COMPOUNDS
34
Hotspot
Which of these represents the electron?
35
Multiple Choice
Tell me group and period
Group 16, period 3
Group 14, period 3
Period 16, Group 3
Group 6, period 3
36
Multiple Choice
Tell me the group and period
Period 5, group 13
Period 3, Group 5
Period 3, Group 15
Period 3, Group 16
