periodic table test review

Periodic Table Test Study Guide

1. Explain how the periodic table is organized and who is the creator of the table.

2. What are two examples of things in your life that are periodic beside the periodic table?

3. Explain what an element is.

4. Be able to distinguish between a period and a group (family) and give two properties that familes have and two properties that groups have on the real periodic table.

5. Know how to read each square in the periodic table and what each part stands for.

6. Atomic Sturucture http://www.chem4kids.com/files/atom_structure.html

7. Know two properties for each of the following groups.

Be able to give and example of an elemnet in each group.

The organization of the Periodic Table is based on the properties of the elements and reflects the structure of atoms. As a basis for understanding this concept, students know:

7. how to identify regions corresponding to metals, nonmetals and inert gases.

Try this softchalk drop and drag challenge!

Thanks to the Sakiyama Family Foundation GIFTS grant I can make review activities and challenges like the drop and drag labeling activity above.

8. elements are defined by the number of protons in the nucleus, which is called the atomic number. Different isotopes of an element have a different number of neutrons in the nucleus.

9. substances can be classified by their properties, including melting temperature, density hardness, heat, and electrical conductivity.

10. Explain what an isotope is.

11. What are valence electrons and how are they important in chemistry.

12. What part of the atom determines how an element acts in a chemical reaction.
