A combination of two or more metals to form a different kind of metal
What is an alloy?
100
Nonmetal elements in family 18 that do not react to any other elements in the periodic table. Sound like royalty.
What are noble gases?
100
The average mass of the protons and neutrons for an element and all its isotopes.
What is the atomic mass.
100
The property of solids, mostly metals, that let it be hammered or rolled into a flat sheet.
What is malleable?
100
A transition metal (Atomic number 26) that is magnetic and used to create many alloys. Symbol is "Fe"
What is Iron?
200
Scientists who study ways to mix metals together
Who are metallurgists?
200
Most nonmetals are this state of matter (solid, liquid, gas) at room temperature?
What is a gas?
200
The count of the number of protons in the element, used to arrange elements on the periodic table.
What is the atomic number?
200
Metals in the first family of the periodic table (except for hydrogen) which are shiny, malleable and have high reactivity.
What are alkali metals?
200
Non-metal in family 14 gains or shares four electrons. Atomic number is 6, symbol is "C". What all living things are based on.
What is Carbon.
300
Alloy mixing iron and carbon or chromium
What is steel?
300
Elements that have chemical and physical properties of both metals and nonmetals. Can conduct electricity only at certain temperatures or amounts of light.
What are metalloids?
300
The one or two letters in the alphabet that identifies one of the elements in the periodic table. Sometimes has noting to do with the actual name (e.g., "Fe" for Iron).
What is the chemical symbol.
300
The property of metals that allows them to transfer electricity, heat, or sound very easily.
What is conductive?
300
What element is in family 16 and gains or shares two electrons. Atomic number is 8, symbol is "O."
What is Oxygen?
400
Alloy of the elements copper and zinc. Rhymes with grass.
What is Brass?
400
These nonmetal elements are in Family 17 and share one electron during a reaction
What are halogens?
400
An arrangement of all the elements that have been discovered. Makes a big poster when printed out.
What is the periodic table?
400
Metals in the 3rd to 12th families of the periodic table which are very hard, shiny, conductive, with poor reactivity.
What are transition metals?
400
A nonmetal gas in family 15 that gains or shares three electrons during a reaction. Atomic number is 7, symbol is "N". Makes up most of the air we breathe.
What is Nitrogen.
500
Alloy of the elements copper and tin. Used for lots of statues.
What is Bronze?
500
The ability of metalloids to conduct electricity only at certain temperatures or in certain amounts of light.
What is semiconductor?
500
One column of elements on the periodic table. Each element in these contain similar chemical and physical properties.
What is a family?
500
Metals in the second family of the periodic table which are grey or white in color, not very malleable and have lower reactivity than alkali metals.
What are alkaline metals?
500
This element is a transition metal that is used in several alloys, has the symbol "Cr" and makes stainless steel when mixed with iron.
