This is the location of protons and neutrons.

What is the nucleus?

100

The starting energy level for an electron before it absorbs energy.

What is the ground state?

100

The elements in Group 18, which are stable due to a full valence shell.

What are the Noble Gases?

100

This subatomic particle, found in the outermost shell, is responsible for chemical reactions.

What is the valence electron?

100

This experiment, performed by J.J. Thomson, led to the discovery of the electron, changing the atomic model from a solid sphere to the "Plum Pudding" model.

What is the Cathode Ray Tube experiment?

200

An atom is in this state when it has a completely filled outermost energy level, typically with eight electrons.

What is stable (or most stable)?

200

As wavelength increases, this property of light decreases, representing an inverse relationship.

What is frequency (or energy)?

200

The total number of electrons in the outermost shell, which determines the group number (for A-groups) and reactivity.

What are valence electrons?

200

A negative ion, formed when an atom gains electrons.

What is an anion?

200

Identify the following use the as covalent compounds or ionic compounds use the correct Jeopardy vernacular.

1. LiF

2. KCl

3. Na2S

4. NO2

1. What is ionic. 

2. What is ionic.

3. What is ionic.

4. What is covalent.

300

This is the identity of an element and is determined by the number of protons.

What is the atomic number?

300

The color of visible light with the shortest wavelength, which also has the highest frequency and energy.

What is violet?

300

The atomic radius generally decreases as you move from left to right across this horizontal section of the periodic table.

What is a period?

300

The type of bond formed between a metal and a nonmetal through the transfer of electrons.

What is an ionic bond?

300

The reason the Oxygen atom in a water molecule has a partial negative charge $(\delta^-)$, which is the result of its strong ability to pull shared electrons toward itself.

What is high electronegativity?

400

Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

What are isotopes?

400

When an electron falls from the excited state back down, it releases a particle of light energy called this.

What is a photon?

400

This trend is defined as an atom's ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

What is electronegativity?

400

The weak force of attraction between the partial negative charge on one polar molecule and the partial positive charge on a Hydrogen atom of an adjacent molecule.

What is a hydrogen bond?

400

DAILY DOUBLE!!!

Draw the correct Lewis structure for Magnesium Chloride.

500

This scientist performed the Gold Foil Experiment, which led to the discovery of the dense, positively charged nucleus.

Who is Rutherford?

500

You friend has 4 firework, each containing the following elements calcium, barium, lithium and sodium. He lights one, it takes off and it explodes emitting a green light. 

What is barium

500

The two highly reactive groups of elements, Group 1 and Group 17, are known respectively as these.

What are the Alkali Metals and the Halogens?


500

The "skin" or force that causes the surface of a liquid, like water, to resist an external force due to cohesive forces between its molecules.

What is surface tension?

500

The unexpected result of Rutherford's Gold Foil experiment, where a small percentage of alpha particles bounced straight back, showed that the atom had this small, dense, and positively charged center.

What is the nucleus?
