The Nuclear Option
The two kinds of particles found in the nucleus
What are protons and neutrons?
The modern periodic table arranges the elements in this order.
What is by atomic number?
Two atoms that share a pair of electrons have this type of bond.
What is covalent?
The reaction type that can be thought of as a love triangle
What is single replacement?
To know if a single replacement reaction will occur or not, you must refer to this.
What is the hotness scale (or activity series).
The kind of radioactive decay symbolized by this Greek letter: β
What is beta decay?
The family name of the elements in Group 1 (IA).
What is the alkali metals?
An ionic bond happens when two ions are attracted to each other due to this.
What is their opposite charges?
When a double replacement reaction occurs, this what we call the solid product formed.
What is a precipitate?
The feline term we use to refer to a positive ion.
What is cation?
The type of nuclear reaction that is used in nuclear power plants
What is fission?
This is what happens to the atomic radius of the atoms as you move across a period from left to right.
What is decrease?
When a metal and a nonmetal form a bond, this is the type of bond they have.
What is an ionic bond?
This type of reaction always produces heat and always has oxygen gas as a reactant.
What is combustion?
This is the formula of the product formed by the combustion of hydrocarbons that is a greenhouse gas.
What is CO2?
Nuclear fusion only occurs in thermonuclear bombs and in the center of this.
What is the sun (or stars)?
The elements in the same family (group) will have the same number of these.
What are valence electrons?
When drawing a Lewis structure for a molecule, we use this to symbolize a shared pair of electrons.
What is a bar (or stick)?
This type of reaction will only have one compound as the product.
What is synthesis?
The color of a substance is an example of this kind of property.
What is a physical property?
What is thorium-234?
This is the number of electrons gained by elements in Group 17 (7A) when they become ions.
What is 1?
This is the main reason that atoms form covalent bonds - to complete their____________ of valence electrons.
What is octet?
When the reaction below is correctly balanced, this will be the coefficient on the magnesium reactant:
____Mg + ___O2 --> ___ MgO
What is 2?
TWO of the signs that a chemical reaction has occurred.
What are (any two):
Color change, gas formation, heat absorbed/released, precipitate formed?
