Flashcards on Classification of Elements
Click on the flashcard to see the answer
What is the scientific classification of elements?
The scientific classification of elements is based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and physical and chemical properties.
How are elements classified in the periodic table?
Elements are classified in the periodic table based on their atomic number and similarities in chemical properties.
What are the main groups or families in the periodic table?
The main groups in the periodic table are alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, halogens, and noble gases.
What are the periods in the periodic table?
The periods in the periodic table are the horizontal rows that represent the number of electron shells in an element's atom.
What are the characteristics of metals?
Metals are generally shiny, malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form positive ions.
What are the characteristics of nonmetals?
Nonmetals are generally dull, brittle, poor conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form negative ions.
What are the characteristics of metalloids?
Metalloids have properties in between metals and nonmetals. They are semi-conductors and have varying degrees of metallic and nonmetallic properties.
What is the significance of valence electrons in element classification?
Valence electrons determine an element's chemical reactivity and its position in the periodic table.
Which group of elements are highly reactive and located on the far right of the periodic table?
The halogens (Group 17) are highly reactive and located on the far right of the periodic table.
What is the heaviest natural element?
The heaviest natural element is uranium (atomic number 92).
What are the alkali metals?
The alkali metals are a group of highly reactive metals located in Group 1 of the periodic table.
What are the alkaline earth metals?
The alkaline earth metals are a group of metals located in Group 2 of the periodic table.
Which group of elements have full valence electron shells and are generally unreactive?
The noble gases (Group 18) have full valence electron shells and are generally unreactive.
Why is the periodic table important in chemistry?
The periodic table provides a structured way of organizing and understanding the properties and behavior of elements.
What is the main difference between metals and nonmetals?
The main difference between metals and nonmetals is their ability to conduct heat and electricity.
