Battle of the Groups
This property determines which group an element will be placed in.
What is number of outer shell electrons?
This sweet treat is the namesake for JJ Thomsons early model of the atom.
The number of this subatomic particle is responsible for the categorisation of atoms into specific elements.
What is a proton?
This diagram is used to display the electron configuration of atoms.
What is a dot and cross diagram?
This type of substance is defined by it containing more than one element chemically joined.
What is a compound?
Group 7, containing elements such as iodine and chlorine also goes by this name.
What is halogens?
This subatomic particle was the last to be discovered.
What is the neutron?
This subatomic particle has the lowest relative atomic mass.
What is the electron?
This term, found on the periodic table, can be used to identify the amount of electrons in an atom of a given element.
What is proton number?
This process separated insoluble solids from a liquid.
What is filtering?
Group 1, also known as the alkali metals, are named as such due to their often violent reaction with this substance.
What is water?
Before the disovery of the the subatomic particles in the nucleus, this property was used to order early versions of the periodic table.
What is atomic weight?
Together, the proton and neutron determine this property of an element.
What is (relative) atomic mass?
This number is also the amount of electrons required to fill the first electron shell.
What are soluble solids and liquids?
This group of elements is entirely monatomic.
What is noble gases / group 0?
Often thought of as a musical term, Newlands organised his periodic table by this law, when he noticed repeating patterns in the reactions of elements.
What is (the law of) octaves?
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in these structures.
What are shells?
This sequence describes the electron configuration of a sodium atom.
What is 2.8.1?
This differing property allows for separation of two liquids by distillation.
What is the boiling point?
Relating to the number of electron shells in an atom, this property causes the trends in reactivity down both group 1 and group 7
What is shielding?
During Rutherford's scattering experiment, this was fired at gold foil, leading to the discovery of the nucleus
What is an alpha particle?
This varient is defined by its differing number of neutrons, while still maintaining the number of protons
What is an isotope?
This is the objective for all atoms. Because of this, many elements undergo chemical reactions to reach this state. Noble gases, unlike the other elements, have already reached this.
What is a full outer shell?
What is Rf value?
