Atomic Structure
Name the 3 subatomic particles of an atom
What are proton, neutron and electron?
A vertical column on the periodic table is called this.
What are groups or families?
This element has 20 electrons.
What is calcium?
These types of elements are located on the right-hand side of the periodic table.
What are nonmetals?
I have 3 protons. Which element am I?
What is lithium?
This subatomic particle is located in the nucleus and has no charge.
What is a neutron?
Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine are all considered this.
What are Halogens?
This element has an atomic mass of 108.
What is Silver?
The periodic table is mostly made up of these types of elements.
What are metals?
I have 2 valence electrons and am in period 3. Who am I?
What is magnesium?
These 2 subatomic particles are found inside the nucleus of the atom.
What are protons and neutrons?
The vertical columns on the periodic table are organized by this.
What is the number of valence electrons?
This element has 31 neutrons.
What is Nickel?
The elements that contain properties of metals and nonmetals are called this.
What are metalloids?
I have 6 valence electrons and am in period 2. Who am I?
What is Oxygen?
This subatomic particle determines the element that the atom is.
What is proton?
A period on the periodic table will tell you this.
What is the number of electron orbitals?
When you subtract the atomic number from the mass number, you find the number of this.
What are neutrons?
This element is in a metalloid location but is a metal.
What is Aluminum?
I am in period 3 and am a Nobel gas. Who am I?
What is Argon?
This subatomic particle changes in number to create ions.
What is an electron?
The group that an element with 2 valence electrons is called this.
What is the Alkali Earth Metals?
As we add energy levels to an element, this increases.
What is the volume of the atom?
Very reactive metals in group 1 have how many valence electrons and want to do what with those valence electrons (2-part question)
What is one valence electron that they want to give away or lose?
I am in the alkali metals in the second row. Who am I?
What is lithium?
