Term
Non-Metals (location)
Definition
On the right of the metalloids.
Term
Alkali metals
Definition
React with water to create hydrogen gas
Term
Periodic
Definition
Describes something that occurs or repeats at regular intervals.
Term
Periodic Law
Definition
The law that states that the repeating chemical and physical properties of elements change periodically with the atomic numbers of the elements.
Term
Period
Definition
Each horizontal row of elements (from left to right) on the periodic table.
Term
Group
Definition
A vertical column of elements in the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties.
Term
Alkali Metals
Definition
The elements of Group 1 of the periodic table (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium).
Term
Alkaline-Earth Metals
Definition
The elements of Group 2 of the periodic table (beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, and radium).
Term
Halogen
Definition
Elements of Group 17 of the periodic table (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine); They combine with most metals to form salts.
Term
Noble Gas
Definition
The elements of Group 18 of the periodic table (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon); noble gases are unreactive.
Term
Transition Metals
Definition
They are shiny metals including gold, titanium iron and steel. They conduct thermal energy and electric current well.
Term
Lanthanides
Definition
Elements in the first row follow lanthanum. They are shiny, reactive metals. Some of these elements are used to make steel.
Term
Actinides
Definition
Elements in the second row that follow actinium. All atoms of these are radioactive, or unstable.
Term
Who was Mendeleev and what did he do?
Definition
A Russian chemist, discovered a pattern to the elements in 1869. He arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass
Term
Periodic Table of Elements
Definition
Contains each element in periods and families in a grid in each includes the element's name, amount of protons, electrons, symbol
Term
Metalloids (location)
Definition
They are located on the zig-zag line in the periodic table and are on the right section dividing metals from non-metals.
Term
Boron Group
Definition
one metalloid and five metals

Electrons in the outer level; 3
This group is reactive
and this group's elements are solids at room temperature
Term
Carbon Group
Definition
This group contains one nonmetal, two metalloids, and three metals
There are 4 electrons in the outer level.

Reactivity: varies among the elements
They are solids at room temperature
Term
Nitrogen Group
Definition
This group consists of two nonmetals, two metalloids, and two metals.
They have 5 electrons in the outer level.
Their reactivity varies among the elements
They are solids at room temperature (except for nitrogen)
Term
Halogens
Definition
very reactive nonmetals because their atoms need to gain only one electron to have a complete outer level
Term
Hydrogen
Definition
It is set apart from the other elements in the table. It is above Group 1 because atoms of the alkali metals also have only one electron in their outer level, it really doesn't belong to a group.
Term
Groups are...
Definition
Also called families and are vertical columns.
Term
Periods are...
Definition
Also called rows and are horizontal
Term
The periodic table is like...
Definition
This is like a calendar in that it has rows and columns.
Term
Metals (location)
Definition
These are located left and middle of the PTE.
