Term
Alkali Earth Metals
Definition
Group 2A elements in the modern periodic table.
Term
Electronegativity
Definition
Indicates the relative ability of an element's atoms to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
Term
Group
Definition
A vertical column of elements in the periodic table; also called a family.
Term
Halogen
Definition
Highly reactive elements in group 7A; the floozy elements in the periodic table
Term
Inner Transistion Metals
Definition
Group B elements that are in the f-block of the periodic table, and are characterized by a filled outermost orbital, and a filled or partically filled 4f and 5f orbital.
Term
Ion
Definition
An atom or bonded group of atoms with a positive or negative charge.
Term
Ionization Energy
Definition
The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom; generally increases in moving from left to right across a period, and decreases in moving down a group.
Term
Metal
Definition
An element that is solid at room temperature, a good conductor of heat and electricy, and generally is shiny; most are ductile and malleable
Term
Metalloid
Definition
An element, such as silicon or geranium, which has physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals
Term
Noble Gas
Definition
An extremely unreactive group 8A elements; KKK of the elements, they don't like to mix.
Term
Nonmetal
Definition
Elements that are generally gaseous, or dull, brittle solids that are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Term
Octet Rule
Definition
Stated that atoms lose, gain or share electrons in order to acquire a full set of eight valence electrons.
Term
Period
Definition
A horizontal row of elemens in the modern periodic table.
Term
Periodic Law
Definition
States that when the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their chemical and physical properties.
Term
Representative Elements
Definition
Groups of elements in the modern periodic table that are designated with an A and possess a wide range of chemical and physical properties.
Term
Transisiton Elements
Definition
Group of elements in the modern periodic table that are designated with a B and re further divided into transition metals and inner transition metals.
Term
Transition Metals
Definition
Group B elements that are contained with the d-block of the periodic table.
Term
Actinide Series
Definition
In the periodic table, the f-block elements from eriod 7 that follow the element actinium.
Term
Allotrope
Definition
Forms of an element with different structures and properties when they are in the same state- solid, liquid, or gas.
Term
Diagonal Relationships
Definition
The close relationships between elements in neighboring groups in the periodic table.
Term
Ferromagnetism
Definition
The strong attraction of a substance to a magnetic field.
Term
Lanthanide Series
Definition
In the periodic table, the f-block elements from period 6 that follow the element lanthanum.
Term
Metallurgy
Definition
The branch of applied science that studies and designs methods for extracting metals and their compound from ores.
Term
Mineral
Definition
An element or inorganic compound that occurs in nature as solid crystals and usually is found mixed with other materials in ores.
Term
Ore
Definition
A material from which a mineral can by extracted at a reasonable cost.
