Iridium / Zirconium
100
What kind of elements are found on the right side of the staircase?
Metals
100
Name the 3 subatomic particles and the center of an atom
Proton, electron, neutron, and nucleus.

True or False: Nuclear fission produces more energy than fusion.
False
100
Who is credited with creating the Periodic Table
Dmitri Mendleev
200
Which element has the atomic symbol Tc?
Technetium
200
Name groups 1, 2, and 18 / What are their tendencies while bonding?
Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, and Noble Gases / Group 1 and 2 lose electron(s) and group 18 does not usually bond with anything
200
What are the 4 properties of metals?
Luster, conductivity, malleability, and ductability or ductile
200
Two nuclei combine in ____________
Nuclear fusion
200
Where do the elements' abbreviated symbols come from? As in, why is Ag the symbol for silver?
Latin
300
Which element has 24 neutrons?
Scandium
300
Name group 17 / What is its tendency while bonding
Halogens / They gain an electron
300
When is any atom chemically stable?
It has a full valence shell
300
Why could hydrogen be placed in Group 1, but also in Group 17?
Hydrogen could be in Group 1 because it has only one extra electron, but since the first shell only holds a maximum of two, hydrogen is also only missing one to have a full valence shell, like the elements in Group 17.
400
What does the period number of an element tell you about it? / The family?
The number of electron shells it has / the number of valence electrons it has
400
How can you name a group that doesn't have a special name like groups 1, 2, 17, and 18?
By the first element in the group, as in the Boron family, Carbon family, etc.
400
Explain ionic and covalent bonds and the electrons involved
Ionic bonds- metal + nonmetal, electrons are transferred Covalent bonds- nonmetal + nonmetal, electrons are shared
400
Why did Mr. Varnbuhler take a radioactive iodine isotope pill if radioactivity is bad for humans?
The reason why radioactivity is bad for humans is because the alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays destroy human tissue and mess with DNA. Taking the pill allowed the radioactivity to kill Mr. V's cancerous thyroid and destroy the DNA that kept producing the cancer cells.
500
Given two elements from the same group, you could expect that they will have ____________
Similar chemical properties
500
Name the two rows beneath the periodic table and a special characteristic of the second row
Lanthanides and Actinides, the second row is radioactive
500
Explain ions and isotopes
Ions- atoms with a charge Isotopes- elements with different numbers of neutrons

How does Einstein's most famous equation help demonstrate the potential energy in matter?
E=mc^2 is his famous equation and it show how much energy there is in matter because m stands for mass, which is basically matter, times the speed of light squared, which is a gigantic number, is equivalent to energy. 1 gram of uranium is the same as 8.98755179 × 10^16 of energy
