The dense, center of an atom, around which electrons orbit.
What is the nucleus?
Elements are made up of only one kind of these.
What are atoms?
This number is used to arrange elements on the periodic table.
What is the atomic number?
Two or more atoms that are chemically bonded.
What is a molecule? OR What is a compound?
An element in this group has 5 valence electrons.
What is Group 15?
An uncharged particle in the nucleus of the atom.
What is a neutron?
These letters are used as shorthand to identify an element.
What is the atomic symbol?
As the atomic number increases across a period, this happens to the atoms.
options-
- increases in size
- increases in number of protons and electrons
This type of bond gives metals their special properties (conducting electricity, ductile, malleable, etc.).
What is a metallic bond?
This energy level can only hold 2 electrons.
What is the 1st energy level?
A positively charged particle that determines an atom's identity.
What is a proton?
The atomic number tells you this.
What is the number of protons an element has?
This family of elements will not form compounds.
What are the Noble gases?
Two or more ions form this type of bond.
What is an ionic bond?
CH4 has 5 of these.
What is the number of atoms?
A negatively charged subatomic particle that is responsible for the reactivity of an atom.
What is an electron?
The mass of an element will change depending on the number of these subatomic particles.
What are neutrons?
All elements in the same row or "period" have the same number of these.
What are energy levels?
Two or more atoms share electrons to form this type of bond.
What is a covalent bond?
Salt water and air are two examples of these.
What are mixtures?
The sum of these particles tell you the mass of an atom.
What are protons and neutrons?
The unit of mass for elements.
What is atomic mass units?
Elements in the same one will likely react the same.
What is Group?
CO2 represents one of these.
What is a molecule?
This process uses electricity to break the bond between hydrogen and oxygen; it's used to collect H2 as a source of clean energy.
What is electrolysis?
