What are elements in the Periodic Table are listed in order of?

What are their Atomic Numbers

100

True or false; If the symbol is a single letter, the single letter is to be upper case ONLY

True

100

What is half-life?

What is the time taken for the radioactivity of an isotope to decrease to half its original value 

100

Who created the first atomic theory?

Who is John Dalton

100

Which of the following is the abbreviation for the element gold?

Au, Ag, Si, N

What is Au

200

What are the main groups of the table?

What are:

Group 1: alkali metals

Group 2: alkali earth metals

Group 17: halogens

Group 18: noble gases

200

Why would metals be better at making wires than non-metals? Give two examples

1. Metals are ductile

2. Metals are conductive

200

Why are atomic masses on the periodic table in decimal form?

Because they are a weighted average of all the isotopes’ masses

200

Who created the plum pudding model?

Who is Rutherford

200

Draw a Lewis Dot Diagram for Oxygen

300

What are the locations of metals, non-metals, and metalloids on the periodic table? Make a small diagram

300

What element is the exception to the metalloid line rule?

What is Aluminum

300

Write the simplified electron configuration of Calcium

What is 2-8-8-2 

300

Who discovered electrons?

Who is J. J. Thomson

300

What Element does this Lewis Dot Diagram represent?

What is Fluorine

400

As electronegativity moves across a period, it:

What is Increases

400

Why do some atoms form covalent bonds?

What is they have the same electronegativity levels

400

The half-life of Zn-71 is 2.4 minutes. If one had 100.0g at the beginning, how many grams would be left after 7.2 minutes has elapsed?

7.2 / 2.4 = 3 half-lives

(1/2)3 = 0.125 (the amount remaining after 3 half-lives)

100.0 g x 0.125 = 12.5 g remaining

400

Who created the modern periodic table?

Who is Dimitri Mendeleev

400

What is the shape and position an electron inhabits around an atom (What are s,p,d,f)

500

What is ionization energy? (optional: what is the trend down groups?)

What is the energy needed to take away a single electron (what is decreases down a group)

500

What causes ionic bonds? (optional: what does an ionic bond between sodium and chloride form?)

What is one atom donates an electron to stabilize the other atom (what is NaCl, table salt) 

500

Calculate the atomic mass (to the nearest hundredth) of Neon based on its natural isotopes:

N-20: atomic mass- 19.99/% abundance- 90.9%

N-21: atomic mass- 20.99/% abundance- 0.3%

N-22: atomic mass- 21.99/% abundance- 8.8%
