What is a metal?
a tough substance that is a great conductor of electricity, malleable, ductile, and lustrous.
What is a nonmetal?
a brittle substance that are poor conductors, not shiny, and cannot be made into wires or sheets.
What is a metalloid?
In general, how does atomic radius change within groups and across periods?
They increase from top to bottom, and increase from right to left.
What is Atomic Radius?
Half the distance between like atoms.
What is an Ion?
Negatively or Positively charged atoms.
What is a cation?
Positively charged atom.
What is an anion?
Negatively charged atom.

They are filled.
How did J.W Dobreiner classify his triads?
He noticed that the mass of one element was close to the average mass of the other two.
What is the name of the Group 1 Elements?
Alkali Metals
What is the name of the Group 2 Elements?
Alkali Earth Metals
What is the definition of ionization energy?
The amount of energy it takes for an element to become an ion. In other words, how much energy it takes for an element to gain or lose an electron.
