Vocab Terms
This is also known as a characteristic.
What is a property?
This physical property is the "shininess" of a substance.
What is luster?
These non-reactive gases are found in group 18.
What are noble gases?
This is how you might describe the shape and color of the object on the back page.
These are elements with atomic numbers 1 and 2.
What are Hydrogen and Helium?
This is matter that has a constant chemical composition and characteristics (i.e. all made of the same "stuff").
What is a substance?
This physical property is the "squishiness" of a substance.
What is malleability?
These two groups are radioactive and found on their own little "island" on the periodic table.
This is how you might describe the luster and malleability of the object.
What are high luster and low malleability?
These are elements with atomic numbers 3 and 4?
What are Lithium and Beryllium?
This is a property that is true of all substances made of the same material.
What is an intensive property?
This physical property can be calculated by dividing mass by volume. Units: g/mL
What is density?
These two chemical block groups, found in groups 1 and 2, are made up of reactive metals.
What are alkali metals and alkaline earth metals?
This is the density of the object.
What is 2.17 g/mL?
These are elements with atomic numbers 5 and 6?
What are Boron and Nitrogen?
This is a property that is true of one specific sample of a substance.
What is an extensive property?
This physical property describes how many grams of a solute dissolves in 100 mL of a solvent.
What is solubility?
These two groups are metals that are not very reactive. They are stable, and the more malleable ones are found in groups 3-12 while the more brittle ones are in groups 13-16.
What are transition metals and post-transition metals?
This is the solubility of the object.
What is 35.7 g / 100 mL of water?
These are elements with atomic numbers 7 and 8?
What are Carbon and Oxygen?
You might need a microscope to see something at the ___________________ scale, while you can see something at the _____________________ scale with your own eyes.
What are microscopic and macroscopic?
These three chemical properties describe how likely something is to react, catch on fire, or emit particles.
What are flammability, reactivity, and radioactivity?
These two chemical block groups contain solids and gases. The more metallic of these, like aluminum, live in groups 13-16, while the less metallic, like carbon, live in groups 14-16.
What are metalloids and non-metals.
This is the substance this object is made from.
What is table salt, NaCl?
These are elements with atomic numbers 9 and 10.
What are Fluorine and Neon?
