Question | Answer |
---|---|
Who first organized 33 elements into the four categories on gases, metals, nonmetals, and earth in the 1700s? | Antoine Lavoisier |
What two things were discovered that led to the discovery of many more elements? | Electricity & spectrometer |
What occurred in the mid-1800s that led to the manufacture of petrochemicals, soaps, dyes and fertilizers which led to the discovery of more elements? | The Industrial Revolution |
What is the name of the English chemist who in 1894, realized that when elements were arranged in order of increasing atomic mass, their properties repeated every eighth element? | John Newlands |
Repeating patterns are referred to as | periodic |
What was the name of John Newland’s law explaining his arrangement of the elements in 1894? | Law of octaves |
What are the names of the German chemist and Russian chemist who in 1869, demonstrated a connection between element properties and the atomic mass? | Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev |
Who is often referred to as the “Father of the Periodic Table”? | Demitri Mendeleev |
What ended up being wrong with Mendeleev’s table? | Once atomic masses were measured more accurately, some of the elements needed to be rearranged and no longer “fit” into the correct columns with elements having similar properties. |
Who was the English chemist, in 1913, who proposed that the elements should be arranged by increasing order of atomic number instead of increasing atomic mass? | Henry Moseley |
Does the modern periodic table have the elements arranged in order of increasing atomic mass or increasing atomic number? | increasing atomic number |
The 18 vertical columns on the periodic table are called | groups or families. |
Groups 1-2 and 13-18 are called the | main group or representative elements. |
Group 1 elements are called | alkaline metals |
Group 2 elements are called | alkaline earth |
Group 18 elements are called | noble gases |
Group 17 elements are called | Halogens |
They are called | salt formers |
Group 16 elements are called | chalcogens. |
the halogens are also called the | fluorine family. |
The 7 horizontal rows of the elements are called | periods or series. |
The horizontal rows represent the | energy levels |
26. The 8 elements that border the staircase are called | metalloids |
metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals. They are | good semi-conductors |
metaloids are often used in | electronics, especially silicon and germanium. |
Elements to the left of the staircase are | metals |
Elements to the right of the staircase are | non-metals |
The periodic law states that when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number the properties of the elements | repeat |
The atomic number increases from --- and ---- | left to right and from the top to bottom |
the number of electrons increases from ---- and ----- | left to right and from the top to the bottom |
The distance from the nucleus to the outer electron of an atom is called the | atomic radius |
The distance from the nucleus to the outer electron of an ion is called the | ionic radius. |
The energy needed to remove the last electron from an atom is called the | ionization energy. |
The attraction of an atom for an electron is called the | electronegativity. |
Where on the periodic table is the most metallic element? | lower lefthand corner |
Where on the periodic table is the most nonmetallic element? | Upper right hand corner |
Where on the periodic table is the element with the highest ionization energy? | Upper right hand corner |
Do cations tend to be larger or smaller than their atom? | smaller |
Do anions tend to be larger or smaller than their atom? | larger |
Group 1 elements have how many electrons in their outer energy level? | 1 |
Do members of Group 1 tend to lose or gain electrons? | lose 1 |
Lewis electron dot diagrams are drawn to represent the number of | valence electrons |
one | mono |
two | di |
three | tri |
four | tetra |
five | penta |
six | hexa |
seven | hepta |
eight | octa |
nine | nona |
ten | deca |
The rule that elements strive to have full outer levels with 8 electrons is called the | octet rule |
