Term
Periodic Table
Definition
very useful for understanding and predicting properties of elements and probably the most important tool in chemistry
Term
Dimitri Mendeleev
Definition
most responsible for the periodic table
Term
Dimitri Mendeleev
Definition
a russian chemist and teacher in 1869 published a periodic table
Term
1. In order of increasing atomic mass
2. In horizontal groups containing elements with similar properties
Definition
How was Mandeleev's periodic table arranged?
Term
elements with similar properties could be placed in the same groups
Definition
Why did Mandeleev leave empty spaces in his periodic table?
Term
gallium and germanium
Definition
in 1875 and 1886 what two elements were discovered which filled two empty spaces in the table?
Term
1. in order of increasing atomic number
2. in vertical groups with elements of similar properties
Definition
How are elements arranged in the modern periodic table?
Term
Periodic Law
Definition
State that when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number there is a periodic repition of physical and chemical properties
Term
metals, nonmetals, metalloids
Definition
In the periodic table what are the three classes of elements that divide the table?
Term
metals
Definition
good conductors of heat and electricity
Term
metals
Definition
are ductile (can be drawn into wires)
Term
metals
Definition
are malleable (can be hammered into thin sheets)
Term
metals
Definition
are solids at room temperature
Term
Hg (mercury)
Definition
what metal instead of being solid at room temperature is a liquid at room temperature?
Term
nonmetals
Definition
are in the upper right corner of the periodic table
Term
nonmetals
Definition
tend to properties oppisite to metals
Term
nonmetal
Definition
green grass
Term
nonmetal
Definition
blue liquid
Term
nonmetal
Definition
black solid
Term
metalloids
Definition
have properties similar to metals and nonmetals
Term
alluminum
Definition
which element is considered to be a metal not a metalloid
Term
the phase at room temperature and if it is found in nature or not
Definition
What does the color of the symbol on the periodic table represent?
Term
1. Noble Gas
2. Representatie Elements
3. Transition metals
4. Inner transition metals
Definition
What are the 4 catagories elements can be classified in according to electron configuration?
Term
Nobel Gas
Definition
Group 8a
Term
nobel gas
Definition
have their outermost s or p sublevels filled
Term
noble gas
Definition
do not participate in many chemical reactions
Term
Representative Elements
Definition
Group 1a-7a
Term
representative elements
Definition
have their outermost s or p sublevels partially filled
Term
representative elements
Definition
display a wide range of physical and chemical properties
Term
alkali metals
Definition
what is group 1a called in the representative elements?
Term
alkali earth metals
Definition
what is group 2a called in the represenative elements?
Term
halogens
Definition
what is group 7a called in representative elements?
Term
Definition
1a= 1 electron in the highest occupied energy level
2a= 2 electrons
7a= 7 electrons
Term
transition metals
Definition
b groups
Term
transition metals
Definition
their outermost s and neraby d sublevels contain electrons
Term
transition metals
Definition
are characterized by the presence of electrons in d orbitals, made up of the d block
Term
inner transition metals
Definition
Their outermost s and nerby f sublevels contain electrons
Term
inner transition metals
Definition
are characterized by the presence of electrons in f orbitals, make up the f block
Term
block diagram of periodic table
Definition
consists of 4 blocks: s,p,d,f blocks and each block corresponds to a sublevel being filled with electrons
Term
atomic radius
Definition
cannot be determined directly from a single atom because an atom does not have a sharply defined boundary
Term
atomic radius
Definition
is one half of the distance between of the nuclei of two like atoms which are joined and is measured in picometers
Term
atomic radius
Definition
1pm x 10 neagtive 12
Term
atomic radius
Definition
increase as you go down a group and decrease as you move from left to right across a period
Term
it has equal numbers of protons and electrons
Definition
why is an atom electrically neutral
Term
ion
Definition
an atom or groups of atoms that have a positive or negative charge
Term
cations (positive)
Definition
atoms of metals usually tend to form what ions by loosing one or more electron?
Term
anions (negative)
Definition
atoms of nonmetals tend to form what ions by gaining one or more electrons?
Term
ionization energy (I.E)
Definition
energy required to remove electrons from a gaseous atom
Term
First Ionization Energy
Definition
decreases as you go down a group because the size of the atom increases and increases as you move from left to right in a period because the size of the atom increases
Term
smaller
Definition
cations are always what than the neutral ions on which they are formed
Term
larger
Definition
anions are usually what then the neutral atoms by which they were formed
Term
ion size
Definition
increases as you go down a group and decreases as you move from left to right across a period
Term
electronegativity
Definition
is the ability of an atom in a compound to attract electrons
Term
electronegativity
Definition
decreases as yu move down a group and increases as you move from right to left in a period (representative elements)
