You will find metals on the far right column of the periodic table.
Metals of all types are found around the left side of the periodic table
200
What does malleable mean?
Can be hammered into sheets
200
The atomic number of an element tells you the number of _____ in a neutral atom.
The atomic number of an element tells you the number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom
200
What is an ion?
An atom that can gain or lose electrons
300
What are the Noble gases? And In which group?
Noble gases don't need to gain or lose electrons (stable atom). In group 8.
300
Which of these choices is NOT a family of elements? Halogens Alkali Metals Noble Gases All are Families of Elements
All of these choices are different types and families of elements
300
Sulfur's (S) electron configuration is... 2-16-16 2-8-6 1-6-15 2-6-8
Sulfur (S) is the sixteenth element in the periodic table. The atomic number tells you there are sixteen protons in a sulfur atom. A neutral atom has the same number of electrons and protons. That fact means sulfur has sixteen electrons. Using the 2-8-8 rule... Sulfur would have a setup of 2-8-6.
300
How many metalloids are there on the stair-case?
6 metalloids
300
Which of these things are NOT listed in the periodic table?
You will not find information about the atomic radius of an atom in the periodic table
400
What is the first element in the periodic table?
Hydrogen (H) is the first element in the periodic table
400
Daily double! Elements in the periodic table are arranged by...
The elements in the periodic table are organized by atomic number
400
You might find boron (B) in the soap in your bathtub.
Boron (B) can be found in many soaps. Boron is often found in the compound known as borax and refined for other uses.
400
Although the order of elements is based on atomic number, vertical families share similar chemical properties.
Elements in the same groups, such as the halogens or noble gases, often share similar chemical properties
400
How many metals are there?
91 metals
500
Which of these is NOT a gas found in the Earth's atmosphere? Nitrogen (N) oxygen (O) Gold (Au) argon (Ar)
Gold (Au) was the right answer. Gold is a metal that you will usually find inside of the Earth.
500
Oxygen (O) has a greater mass than chlorine (Cl).
Look at the periodic table. Oxygen (O) is above and to the left of chlorine (Cl). That location shows that it is lighter and has a lower atomic number
500
How many elements are there on the periodic table?
118 elements
500
How many elements are near the stair-case? (don't look in the book)
8 elements
500
All of the following are in the same rows/periods of the periodic table EXCEPT... Beryllium(Be), Oxygen(O), Fluorine (F) Hydrogen(H), Helium(He) Sodium(Na),Carbon(C), Chlorine(Cl) Lithium(Li), Boron(B), Neon(Ne)
This one was a little harder. You needed to remember what elements were in which rows. The correct answer was "Sodium (Na), Carbon(C), Chlorine(Cl)" because carbon is in the second row while sodium and chlorine are in the third row
