Atoms
This is the subatomic particle that exists in the cloud.
What is an electron?
These are called periods.
What are the rows on the periodic table?
The measure from the nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud.
What is the atomic radius?
This process creates an ion.
What is adding or removing an electron?
The majority of elements on the period table are this type.
What are metals?
This is the only subatomic particle that has no charge.
What is a neutron?
These are called groups.
What are the columns on the periodic table?
This property of an atom indicates how much energy it takes to remove an electron.
What is ionization energy?
This is the name for an ion with a negative charge.
What is an anion?
The abbreviation for the anion of chlorine when one electron is added looks like this.
What is Cl-?
This makes an element what it is.
What is the number of protons?
These are the groupings of elements based on common properties; example: the transition metals.
What are families?
If an atom holds onto or readily accepts additional electrons it will have a high value of this measure.
What is electron affinity?
This is the name for an ion with a positive charge.
What is a cation?
True/False: Every periodic trend increases from left to right across a row on the table.
What is FALSE?
These are the subatomic particles that determine the atomic mass of an element.
What are protons and neutrons?
This is the number typically found at the top of an element square on the periodic table.
What is the atomic number?
True/False: Moving across a period on the periodic table the atomic radius of each element decreases.
What is FALSE?
If potassium loses an electron how would we write its abbreviation?
What is K+?
True/False: It is easier to remove an electron from an element with a low ionization energy compared to high ionization energy.
This is how to determine the number of neutrons in an element.
What is subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass?
As you move left to right and top to bottom on the periodic table, the atomic number of each element does this.
What is increases?
True/False: Moving down a group of the periodic table, ionization energy decreases.
What is TRUE?
This has happened to the outermost energy level when Sulfur (S) becomes Sulfide (S2-)
What is adding two electrons?
The abbreviation for this element is W.
