This Russian Chemist is credited with arranging elements by increasing atomic mass and predicting properties yet undiscovered elements.  

Who is Mendeleev?

100

This term describes elements that are shiny and conduct heat and electricity well.

What are metals?

100

Groups are also called this word, which is often used in class.  

What are columns?

100

The most reactive nonmetals belong to this group.

What are Halogens?

200
The modern organization of the periodic table arranges elements by this fundamental property of the atom.  

What is the atomic number?

200

If an element can be pulled into long, thin wires, it is described by this property.  

What is ductile?

200

Elements in Group 1

What are alkali metals?

200

The least reactive elements are in this group.

What are noble gases?

300

In the periodic table, horizontal rows are called this.  

What is a period?

300

Nonmetals often have more variable properties than metals.  Give two common properties.

What are.....

poor conductors of heat, electricity, brittle, dull, gases at room, temperature (any two)

300

The alkaline Earth metals belong to which group number?

What is group 2?

300

Elements in the same group have the same number of what?

What are valence electrons?

400

Mendeleev left gaps in his table of elements not yet discovered.  Why?

What is to leave room for undiscovered elements?

400

Metalloids have properties between metals and nonmetals.  Name one use or application that takes advantage of metalloid properties.  

Correct metalloid and use pair.  

400

Transition metals are known for several typical characteristics, name 2.  

What are Shiny, good conductors, malleable?

400

Sodium is highly reactive.  State which class it belongs to and why it is so reactive.

What is an alkali metal, and it has only one valence electron and is unstable?

500

How are elements organized differently in the modern table compared to Mendeleev's?

What is elements are arranged by increasing atomic number?  
500

Explain why most metals are solid at room temperature.  

What is closely packed and metallic bonding?
500

Explain how elements in the same group have similar chemical behaviors.

What is the same number of valence electrons?

500

Relate the reactivity of groups of elements to their number of valence electrons.  

What do they need to gain or release so that they have eight either by sharing or giving away?
