The smallest component of matter that maintains its properties.
Atom
Is a melted popsicle an example of a physical or chemical change?
Physical. You can melt and refreeze a popsicle and it will still be a popsicle.
The family in the first group that is extremely reactive with water?
The Alkali Metals
He
P:2
N:2
e:2
Protons have what kind of charge?
Positive
The three components of an atom.
Proton, Neutron, Electron
Is vinegar and baking soda an example of a physical or chemical change?
Chemical Change. When you mix the two, bubbles form, which indicates a chemical change as taken place.
The Alkaline Earth metals are slightly less reactive than the Alkali Metals and are found in what group/column?
Group 2
Lithium
P: 3
N:4
e:3
Why information does the period/horizontal row tell you about the layout of the atom?
How many electrons shells/orbitals they have.
A Metal Rusting after being left outside. Physical or Chemical Change?
Chemical change. The rust is a new substance as we see a change in colour.
This family is in group 17 and needs one electron to complete its outer shell?
The Halogens
Carbon
P:6
N:6
e:6
Which two atomic components contribute to atomic mass?
Proton and Neutron
Physical. The sugar and water are still both present, just mixed together.
The noble gasses are famously UNREACTIVE because...
They already have a full valence electron shell.
Fluorine
P:9
N:10
e:9
Describe the state at room temperature and the luster of metals.
Solid and Shiny
The ONLY sub-atomic particle that transfers between atoms during a chemical reaction.
Electrons
Bonus Challenge: Is the water cycle an example of a physical or chemical change?
What is YES, it is a physical change, because water changes from a liquid/solid when it precipitates, to a gas when it evaporates, then forms back into a liquid when it condensates. Then the process repeats again with the same substance, WATER!
The families have similar properties because they all have _____________ in common
Same number of outside (valence) electrons
Silicon
P:14
N:14
e:14
Identify the element from the following three clues!
1)Non-metal Gas 2) Third Period 3) Very stable and unreactive.
Argon (Ar)
