Periodic Table
This 1- or 2-letter abbreviation represents an element, such as "Au" for gold.
What is an atomic symbol?
These are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom, determining its reactivity.
What are valence electrons?
This subatomic particle has a positive charge and is found in the nucleus.
What is a proton?
This Russian chemist is credited with creating the first version of the Periodic Table.
Who was Dmitri Mendeleev?
Manu's birthday
What is April 19th?
This principle states that electrons fill the lowest energy orbitals first (starting at 1s).
What is the Aufbau Principle?
This specific physical property describes how much "stuff" is packed into a space (Mass / Volume).
What is density?
He proposed the "Plum Pudding" model, suggesting electrons were embedded in a sphere of positive charge.
Who was J.J. Thomson?
Manu studied this in university.
What is Environmental Engineering?
Elements in this vertical column of the periodic table share similar chemical properties.
What is a Group (or Family)?
According to this rule, electrons will occupy empty orbitals of the same energy level before pairing up.
What is Hund’s Rule?
This term describes an atom that has gained or lost electrons, giving it a net charge.
What is an ion?
This scientist's model depicted electrons traveling in fixed, circular orbits around the nucleus, like planets.
Who was Niels Bohr?
The 6 different subjects Manu has taught in Ciencias.
French
Chemistry
Physics
Math
Ecology
Geography
This is the name for the horizontal rows on the periodic table.
What is a Period?
This is the full electron configuration for the element Carbon (Atomic Number 6).
What is 1s22s22p2?
This is the term for a mixture that is uniform throughout, like salt dissolved in water.
What is a homogeneous mixture (or a solution)?
Often called the "Father of Modern Atomic Theory," he proposed that all matter is made of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms.
Who was John Dalton?
The purpose of the app Manu published recently.
What is Chapalapp, to measure the area of water of Lake Chapala?
Located in Group 18, these gases are known for being extremely non-reactive because they have a full valence shell.
What are Noble Gases?
The maximum amount of electrons the d orbital can hold.
What is 10 electrons?
These are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
This German physicist is famous for his Uncertainty Principle, which states we cannot know both the exact position and momentum of an electron at the same time.
Who was Werner Heisenberg?
Manu's all time favorite singer.
Who is Lana del Rey?
