100
One use of Iron.
What is swords, armor, tools, culinary utensils?
100
One characteristic of each: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids.
What is metals are shiny, malleable, good conductors; nonmetals are dull, brittle, and not conductive; metalloids share both characteristics and form a stairstep pattern on the table?
100
The direction that periods go.
What is vertical or side-to-side?
100
Definition of a valence electron and the part of the Table that organizes elements by valence.
What is an electron in an element's outermost shell; groups organize elements by valence?
100
What happens to the atomic number as you move from left to right.
What is it increases.
200
Why Helium is not reactive.
What is it has eight valence electrons, which is the maximum number of outer shell electrons?
200
The first two groups and a common characteristic for them.
What is Alkali and Alkali earth metals; both are shiny, soft, good conductors, metallic, and reactive?
200
A characteristic that elements in each period have in common.
What is having same number of shells?
200
Draw a Bohr model for sodium.
What is Na in the middle with a +11; next a ring around it with two dots (electrons); 2nd ring with 8 dots, 3rd ring with 1 dot?
200
The amount of groups and the direction they go.
What is 18 groups that go up and down?
300
What sodium reacts with to form salt.
What is Chlorine?
300
Type of metals found in groups 3-12 and a characteristic.
What is Transition Metals and have varying valence, good conductivity, bond through oxidation, and are malleable?
300
Congratulations, the following question is worth double points: The period that sodium is in, and the number of shells it has.
What is period 3 and has 3 shells?
300
Number of electrons the s, p, and d orbitals can hold.
What is s holds 2, p holds 6, and d holds 10?
400
Two things Carbon is found in.
What is charcoal, CO2, all living organisms, diamonds, and sugars?
400
Name of groups 13-18, and a characteristic of groups 17 and 18.
What is Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Halogens, and Noble Gases; Halogens have 7 valence electrons and are very reactive while Noble Gases have 8 valence electrons and are not reactive (also, colorless, tasteless, odorless)?
400
The number of periods on the Periodic Table.
What is 7 periods?
400
The orbital that comes after 2s.
What is 2p?
400
How the elements on the Periodic Table are organized. Describe how it differs from how Mendelyev organized the elements.
What is by atomic number and Mendelyev organized the elements by atomic mass?
500
Two uses of Oxygen.
What is aid for patients, rocket fuel, welding (oxyacetene), cellular respiration, and water?
500
Characteristic for the lanthanide and actinide groups; also, what they have in common.
What is lanthanides are malleable metals that are good conductors and actinides are radioactive; they both are uncommon?
500
Two things that happen when you move from left to right on a period.
What is the shells stay the same, the atomic number/mass increases, elements become less metallic, and elements become less willing to lose electrons?
500
The electron configuration for Carbon.
What is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^2
