What are elements in the Periodic Table are listed in order of?
What are their Atomic Numbers
True or false; If the symbol is a single letter, the single letter is to be upper case ONLY
True
What is half-life?
What is the time taken for the radioactivity of an isotope to decrease to half its original value
Who created the first atomic theory?
Who is John Dalton
Which of the following is the abbreviation for the element gold?
Au, Ag, Si, N
What is Au
What are the main groups of the table?
What are:
Group 1: alkali metals
Group 2: alkali earth metals
Group 17: halogens
Group 18: noble gases
Why would metals be better at making wires than non-metals? Give two examples
2. Metals are conductive
Why are atomic masses on the periodic table in decimal form?
Because they are a weighted average of all the isotopes’ masses

Draw a Lewis Dot Diagram for Oxygen

What are the locations of metals, non-metals, and metalloids on the periodic table? Make a small diagram

What element is the exception to the metalloid line rule?
What is Aluminum
Write the simplified electron configuration of Calcium
What is 2-8-8-2
Who discovered electrons?
Who is J. J. Thomson
What Element does this Lewis Dot Diagram represent?

As electronegativity moves across a period, it:
What is Increases
Why do some atoms form covalent bonds?
What is they have the same electronegativity levels
The half-life of Zn-71 is 2.4 minutes. If one had 100.0g at the beginning, how many grams would be left after 7.2 minutes has elapsed?
7.2 / 2.4 = 3 half-lives
(1/2)3 = 0.125 (the amount remaining after 3 half-lives)
100.0 g x 0.125 = 12.5 g remaining
Who created the modern periodic table?
Who is Dimitri Mendeleev
What is an electron orbital? (optional: what are the four known electron orbitals?)
What is the shape and position an electron inhabits around an atom (What are s,p,d,f)
What is ionization energy? (optional: what is the trend down groups?)
What is the energy needed to take away a single electron (what is decreases down a group)
What causes ionic bonds? (optional: what does an ionic bond between sodium and chloride form?)
What is one atom donates an electron to stabilize the other atom (what is NaCl, table salt)
Calculate the atomic mass (to the nearest hundredth) of Neon based on its natural isotopes:
N-20: atomic mass- 19.99/% abundance- 90.9%
N-21: atomic mass- 20.99/% abundance- 0.3%
N-22: atomic mass- 21.99/% abundance- 8.8%
