100
These are the three subatomic particles that exist inside an atom.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
100
This is the nuclear reaction that combines smaller atomic nuclei into a single, larger nucleus. This reaction is the driving force that keeps stars alive.
What is Fusion?
100
This is the atomic notation for deuterium, which is a Hydrogen atom with one neutron.
What is 21H ?
100
This is what happens to atomic radius as you go down a group of the periodic table.
What is It Increases?
100
This is the number that identifies an element on the periodic table.
What is Atomic Number?
200
This is the positively charged particle that resides in the atomic nucleus. It determines the identity of an element.
What is a proton?
200
This is the nuclear reaction that splits a large atomic nucleus into smaller atoms. It is used to power nuclear power plants around the world.
What is Fission?
200
This is the atomic notation for the most stable form of Helium.
What is 42He ?
200
This is what happens to atomic radius as you go to the right on the periodic table.
What is It Decreases?
200
This word means the center of an atom, where the protons and neutrons exist.
What is the Nucleus?
300
This is the negatively charged particle that resides in the orbitals of an atom. It is responsible for chemical reactivity with other atoms.
What is an electron?
300
Complete the following nuclear fission reaction by filling in the blank:
What is 10n ?
300
This is the atomic notation for Oxygen-16.
What is 168O ?
300
This is where the elements with the highest electronegativity are located on the periodic table.
What is the Top Right Corner? (excluding the Noble Gases)
300
This is what we call two versions of the same element with different atomic masses (due to different neutron counts).
Example: Carbon-12 and Carbon-14
What is an Isotope?
400
This is the subatomic particle with no charge that resides in the atom's nucleus. It serves a purpose of stabilizing the nucleus, to prevent radioactive decay.
What is a neutron?
400
Label this type of nuclear reaction as fission or fusion:
What is Fusion?
400
This is the atomic notation for a Nitrogen atom with 8 neutrons.
What is 157N ?
400
This is the primary reason why atomic radius increases as you move down a group of the periodic table.
What is electron shielding?
400
This is the name of the scientist that discovered the different energy levels of electrons. He also created an atomic model that highlights this discovery.
Who is Niels Bohr?
500
This is the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral Oxygen-16 atom.
What is 8?
500
This small particle is the catalyst for a fission reaction, that is also released in the process, causing a chain reaciton.
What is a neutron?
500
This is the atomic notation for a Uranium atom with 146 neutrons.
What is 23892U?
500
Atomic Radius and Electronegativity have a ________ relationship (options: direct/inverse)
What is inverse?
500
This is the type of radioactive decay that releases a Helium(He) nucleus.
What is Alpha Decay?
