Periodic Table Basics
These are the horizontal rows on the periodic table.
What is a period?
This type of element tends to be shiny and conduct heat and electricity.
What is a metal?
This group on the periodic table is group 1 and reacts with the halogens.
What is the alkali metals?
Which of the following elements would have the largest radius?
Na, Mg, Al, Si
What is Na?
What is 1?
These are the vertical columns on the periodic table.
What is a group?
This is the word used to describe how nonmetals respond to be hit or shaped (Mr. Warren compared it to a winter dessert).
What is brittle?
This group on the table includes fluorine, the most reactive element on the periodic table.
What are the halogens.
Which of the following elements has the greatest electronegativity?
Li, Be, O, F
What is F?
Give the orbital diagram for C.
TBD (Graded by teacher)
This scientist first organized the periodic table based on increasing size.
Who is Mendeleev
This term is used to describe the ability to hammer a metal into thin sheets.
What is malleability?
This group tends to react with the chalcogens (group 16.)
What are the alkaline earth metals.
This trend references the energy need to take an electron away from an atom.
Give the electron configuration for Ti.
This scientist organized the periodic table in a more accurate way, by increasing atomic number.
Who is Moseley?
Which of the following elements would be considered a metal?
C, F, Ne, Mg
What is Mg?
This group is mainly known for the element oxygen.
What are the chalcogens?
This trend refers to the energy released when an electron is added to an atom.
What is electron affinity?
How many valence electrons would an atom of Fe contain (assuming what Mr. Warren told you is true.)
What is 2?
How many naturally occurring elements exist on the modern periodic table?
What is 92?
This element is considered the densest metal on the periodic table.
What is osmium?
This group on the periodic table is the group of elements that all elements desire to become like.
What are the noble gases?
What term did Mr. Warren compare the word "trends" to to describe how they are used?
What is "pattern?"
How many valence electrons do all atoms desire to have in their electron configuration to be stable?
What are 8?
