Atoms, Particles, and Charges...OH MY
This are the small particles that makes up most types of elements on earth
What is an atom
These are made up of only one kind of atom
What is an element
The place where electrons are found in an atom
what is the electron cloud or energy levels
The three major type of elements found on the periodic table
What are metals, metalloids, and non-metals
This particle has no charge.
What is a neutron
True or False? Elements can be combined to form molecules
What is true
The number of electrons that can fit in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd energy level
What is 2, 8, 8 or (18)
This number tells us how many protons and electrons are in an atom
What is the atomic number
This is a negatively charged subatomic particle
What is an electron
These make good conductors and are the first major section of the periodic table!
What are metals
The electrons in the outermost shell of an atom are called
What are valence electrons
This is the first GROUP on the periodic table
What are the alkali metals
This is a positively charged particle in the nucleus of the atom
What is a proton
These are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They are dull in appearance
What is a non metal
The number of electrons in an atom of Carbon
What is 6 (2 in the 1st shell and 4 in the 2nd)
These tell us how many energy levels and element has
What are periods (rows)
These are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
What is an Isotope
Elements that have characteristics of metals and non metals
What is a metalloid
This determines how elements react with one another
What is the electron arrangement
These are found on the right side of the periodic and include krypton, argon, and helium
What are noble gases
