Term
How did Mendelev organize the elements in his periodic table?
Definition
"In rows, in order of increasing mass with similar properties in similar columns"
Term
How is the modern periodic table organized?
Definition
Elements are in order of increasing mass
Term
What does the atomic mass of an element depend on?
Definition
It is a weighted average of all isotopes of that element found in nature.
Term
What categories are used to classify elements on the periodic table?
Definition
"Metals, Metalloids, & Nonmetals"
Term
How do properties vary across a period in the periodic table?
Definition
"As one moves right, the elements become less metallic"
Term
Why do elements in the same groups have similar properties?
Definition
They have the same number of valence electrons.
Term
Where are the alkali metals?
Definition
Column 1
Term
Where are the alkaline earth metals?
Definition
Column 2
Term
What happens to reactivity as one goes DOWN a group?
