a NEUTRONS charge is neutral, the location is in the nucleus, and has a mass of 1.
Term
what is an electrons charge, location, and mass?
Definition
the charge of an ELECTRON is negative, their location is in the electron cloud, and their mass is 1/1850.
Term
electrons exist in...?
Definition
energy levels which have sublevels, which have orbitals.
Term
How many energy levels can their be in an atom?
Definition

SEVEN

Term
18 groups; the verticle columns
Definition
are also called families. teh elements have very similar properties. tey have teh same number of valence electrons.
Term
how many sublevels are available in the first energy level and how many electrons can each contain?
Definition

there is an s sublevel, with 1 orbital, and can hold 2 electrons.

Term

what sublevels are in the 2nd energy level, how many orbitals, and how many electrons?

Definition
there is a s and p sublevel, there are 1 and 3 orbitals, and in 2s there are 2 electrons, while in the 2p, there are 6 electrons.
Term
how many electrons can be in the third energy level?
Definition
18
Term

how many electrons can be in the 4th energy level?

Definition
32
Term
what are isotopes?
Definition
atoms of teh same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
Term
what is the number in the top corner of each element on the periodic table?
Definition
the atomic number, which is the number of protons an element has.
Term

at the bottom of the elements on teh periodic table is the...?

Definition
atomic mass.
Term

atomic mass is the....?

Definition
average mass of teh natural isotopes of an element.
Term
7 periods; horizontal rows.
Definition
elements are very different, teh only thing in common is the NUMBER OF ENERGY LEVELS.

a russian chemisht who was the father of teh Periodic Table of Elements.
Term
Mendeleev arranged elements by...
Definition
both atomic mass and by properteis. he left spaces for undiscovered elements and predicted their properties.
