Families
This family of elements are very stable with a full octet.
What are noble gasses?
Each subshell of an orbital can hold this many electrons.
What is 2?
A neutral atom of nitrogen would have this many electrons.
What is 7?
The elements in the periodic table are arranged by this ascending number.
What is atomic number?
The tendency for an atom to form an ion with 8 valence electrons
What is the octet rule?
This family is in group 1, with 1 valence electron, making them very reactive.
What are alkali metals?
Each orbital has a number (1,2,3,4...) that indicates how far the electrons are from the nucleus this number is refereed to as this.
What is the quantum number?
These electrons are the outermost part of the atom.
What are valence electrons?
Non-metals are found on this side of the periodic table
What is the right?
Atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons (the origin of the decimal places for atomic mass)
What are isotopes?
This family makes up the whole d-block in the center from groups 3 to 12
What are transition metals?
There are 4 shapes each orbital can take that tells us where we may find electrons. They are referred to by these 4 letters. (these are also the Blocks on the periodic table)
What are s, p, d, f?
For the orbital energy diagram, electrons are referred to by this symbol
What are arrows?
This number is usually on the bottom of each tile on the periodic table
What is the atomic mass number?
This is the size of the atom. The distance from the nucleus to the valence electrons. They are larger in the bottom left corner of the periodic table.
What is atomic radius?
This family are neither metals nor non-metals and make a zigzag pattern on the periodic table
What are metalloids?
1s2 2s2 2p2 is this element
What is carbon?
For the electron configuration/orbital notation, electrons are referred to by this placement
What are exponents?
These are the 18 columns of the periodic table.
What are groups?
The energy required to remove an electron. This is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table.
What is ionization energy?
This family are located in group 17, have 7 valence electrons and are very reactive.
What are halogens?
[Ne] 3s2 is this element
What is magnesium?
An atom with more electrons than protons is this
What is a negative ion (anion)?
These are the 7 rows of the periodic table.
What are periods?
The tendency for a chemical element to attract bonding electrons towards it. This is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table.
What is electronengativity?
