Parts of the
Periodic Table
Periodic Table
The name of the columns of the periodic table.
What is the group or the family?
This number on the periodic square tells the number of protons in an atom.
What is the atomic number?
The number of electrons in the outer orbit of an atom.
What is a valence number?
The group of metals that are the most reactive.
What is Alkali metals?
These elements can be dull, have poor conductivity, and are usually brittle.
What are nonmetals?
The name of the rows in the periodic table.
What is a period?
This number on the element square tells the how many neutrons and protons are in the atom.
What is the atomic mass?
The group that has one valence electrons.
What is group 1 or the Alkali metals?
The group of metals that is second most reactive.
What is The Alkaline Earth Metals?
These elements have good conductivity, are malleable, and are usually shiny.
What is a metal?
The number of groups in the periodic table.
This equation tells how to find the number of neutrons in an atom.
What is Atomic Mass Number - Atomic Number?
The group that has a +2 oxidation number.
What is group 2 or IIA?
The group of nonmetals that are the most reactive.
What is the Halogens?
These metals are claylike, silvery gray, are explosive with water, and can be cut easily with a knife.
What are the Alkali Metals and Alkaline Earth Metals?
The number of this arrangement is seven.
What is the number of rows or periods?
This part of the element square tells the abbreviation for the element.
What is the symbol?
The group that has a -3 oxidation number (charge).
What is group 15?
The group of elements with full octets in the valence level of electrons.
What are the Noble Gases?
These elements are reluctant to share their valence electrons.
What are the noble gases?
The name or shape of the line that divides the metals from the nonmetals.
What is the stairstep line?
The scientist who figured out the arrangement of the modern periodic table.
Who is Mendeleev?
The group that has 8 valence electrons.
What is group 18 or the Noble gases?
The element groups that are not found in a pure state in nature.
These elements easily combine with Group I (Alkali Metals).
What are the Halogens or group 8?
