Periodic Table of Elements Jeopardy Game

They don't disappear

100

This number tells you the number of protons in an atom of an element?

Atomic Number

200

How do you determine how many neutrons are in an atom?

Atomic mass - atomic number (protons)= Neutrons

300

How do you find an element's average atomic mass?

The atomic mass can be found on the periodic table. It generally in the form of a whole number with a decimal because it is an average of every isotope found in nature. 

400

These two subatomic particles that can only be found within an atom's nucleus.

Protons and Neutrons

500

How does the definition of the term "Valence Electron" differ from "Electron".

A valence electron is only found in the outermost energy level.

We Are Family

100

This family of elements in the periodic table only conducts heat and electricity under certain conditions?

Metalloids (Semi-conductors) 

200

This family is the most reactive family of metals on the periodic table?

The Alkali Metals

300

This family on the periodic table is the most unreactive family because it has already met the octet rule.

The Noble Gases

400

This family on the periodic table, also known as the CHNOPS, contains carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur and what other element?

Selenium (Se)

500

This family of nonmetals is best suited for ionic bonding with the Alkali Metals?

The Halogens

Element I.D.

100

This element is the first element found in the periodic table?

Hydrogen (H)

200

This element has an atomic mass of 238.

Uranium (U)

300

This element is known as the "backbone of life"

Carbon (C)

400

This element reacts violently in the presence of water, but also can chemically bond to Chlorine (Cl) to form an everyday cooking ingredient.

Sodium (Na)

500

These two elements were switched by Henry Moseley when he arranged Mendeleev's periodic table by increasing atomic number.

Cobalt (Co) & Nickel (Ni)

or 

Tellurium (Te) & Iodine (I)

Application

100

This element is used in the formation of today beverage cans.

Aluminum (Al)

200

This element is a very heavy "poor metal" and is often used as weight due to its extremely large density. 

Lead (Pb)

300

This noble gas is used as a shielding gas in SMAW (shielded metal arc welding)

Argon (Ar)

400

This element is used in the circuit boards of technology such as phones and computers mainly because of its ability to conduct electricity under certain conditions.

Silicon (Si)

500

This element found in the periodic table is found in some of the most expensive pieces of jewelry

Platinum (Pt)
