Periodic Table Review
Across
- 1. a material that allows electricity (flow of electrons) to move through it easily
- 3. a material that has electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator; conductivity can be controlled
- 5. the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom or ion
- 8. elements in Group 1 of the periodic table that are highly reactive, have one valence electron, and form +1 ions
- 9. elements in Group 2 of the periodic table that are reactive, have two valence electrons, and form +2 ions
- 13. half the distance between the nuclei of two identical bonded atoms; a measure of atom size
- 14. elements in Group 18 that are very unreactive due to having full valence electron shells
- 15. an atom or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and carries a charge
- 16. atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full valence shell of eight electrons
- 17. arrangement of electrons in an atom’s orbitals (energy levels and sublevels)
Down
- 1. characteristics of a substance that describe its ability to undergo chemical changes and form new substances
- 2. a negatively charged ion formed when an atom gains electrons
- 4. elements with properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals; often semiconductors
- 6. elements in Group 17 that are highly reactive nonmetals with seven valence electrons and form −1 ions
- 7. the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond
- 10. describes how readily a substance undergoes chemical change or reacts with other substances
- 11. a positively charged ion formed when an atom loses electrons
- 12. electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom that are involved in bonding
