History of the Periodic Table Vocab
Across
- 2. The last name of the scientist who first arranged atoms into groups of eight by their atomic mass, finding that every 8th element had similar physical and chemical properties.
- 3. The last name of the scientist who classified elements into triads based on physical and chemical properties.
- 5. Dimitri Mendeleev was able to predict the _ and properties of element based on where there were "holes" in its structure.
- 6. States that when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
- 9. The d block elements are known as the _ elements.
- 11. The last name of the scientist who is considered the father of the modern periodic table, having ranked elements by mass (generally) but placed more emphasis on properties.
- 14. The number of protons is also known as the __.
- 15. The noble gases have eight _ electrons, making their outermost shell full and stable.
Down
- 1. The f block elements are known as the _ elements.
- 4. Horizontal rows of the periodic table that show repeating patterns and correspond to an energy level
- 7. The last name of the scientist who discovered that the table should be organized by the number of protons.
- 8. Noble gases are _ which is why they are placed at the end of the table.
- 10. The last name of the scientist who moved the lanthanide and actinide series beneath the table
- 12. The _ rule states that elements will gain, lose, or share electrons until they have a configuration like the nearest noble gas, which is most energetically stable
- 13. The vertical columns of the periodic table. Also called groups.
