What Am I?
Subatomic particle with a positive charge.
What is proton?
This group on the periodic table doesn't want to react with any other substances.
What are the Noble Gases?
Energy Shells or Periods are organized by this on the periodic table.
What is rows?
My symbol is O and my atomic mass is 16.
oxygen
I tell the number of protons contained inside an atom of an element.
What is atomic number?
This is the lightest element on the periodic table.
What is Hydrogen?
These are the three major categories of elements in the periodic table.
What are metals, nonmetals and metalloids?
What is electronegativity?
I have 16 electrons whizzing through my electron cloud.
sulfur
It takes about 1840 of me to equal the mass of either of my subatomic partners.
What is an electron?
The electrons of an atom located in the outermost shell of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.
What are Valence Electrons?
Groups in the periodic table can also demonstrate this important characteristic of an atom that determines its reactivity.
What is number of valence electrons?
As you add protons from left to right in the periodic table, this is how the atomic radius is affected.
What is decreases in size?
I am an element with an atomic mass of 39 and in group 1.
What is potassium (K)?
These are atoms with the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons.
What are isotopes?
This is created when an atom gains or loses an electron to another atom
What is an Ion?
Nonmetal elements tend to gain electrons for this reason.
What is they have a smaller atomic radius, so they are closer to the positive nucleus resulting in a higher electronegativity?
A low value of this will result in a reaction to produce a positive ion.
What is Ionization Energy?
Of these elements, I am the most reactive: Beryllium, Sodium, Rubidium, Potassium.
What is Rubidium?
The part of an atom that holds both protons and neutrons.
What is a nucleus of atom?
This is the number of electrons that can be on the first orbital of an atom.
What is 2 electrons?
Group 6A and 7A on the periodic table are likely to gain electrons and become this variation of an atom. (Include resulting changed mass or charge)
What is a negative ion?
Between Sulfur (S) and Rubidium (Rb) this is the element with the lower ionization energy and why it has a lower Ionization energy.
What is Rubidium because it is lower and to the left of Sulfur on the Periodic Table?
Draw and identify the element with 2 energy levels and 6 valence electrons. [Raise your hand- first group with the correct drawing & element wins]
What is Oxygen?
