Family, is another name for a __________ of elements.
What is group (and they all have the same number of valence electrons within a family).
Define periodicity:
What is a tendency to reoccur at regular intervals (for example-Halley's Comet occurs every 76 years, or the newspaper gets delivered every morning). On the table, it is the repeating pattern of properties of elements.
Who invented the modern day structure of the periodic table?
What is Dmitri Mendeleev-a Russian chemists who also discovered periodic law in 1869. He arranged the elements by atomic mass. His arrangement was rows according to their atomic mass and into columns based on chemical and physical properties.
List the characteristics of non-metals:
What is brittle, dull, and poor conductors of heat or electricity.
Row 18 on the periodic table are the ________ _________.
What is Noble gases.
Whose classification system was groups called triads and how were they classified?

What is a semi-conductor?
What is A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current.
T/F: chlorine is a metal.

What is a. lanthanides
How are elements ordered on the periodic table?
What is by atomic number/ Horizontal rows are periods and columns are groups/ you can determine both chemical and physical properties by knowing their location on the periodic table.
