Periodic Table Trends
Across
- 1. ____________ Affinity:the amount of energy released when an electron attaches to a neutral atom
- 7. ____________Metal:any metal in Group 1 of the periodic table
- 10. _____________charge: the magnitude of positive charge in an atom from the pull on the valence electrons towards the positively charged nucleus
- 11. any member of a group of gaseous elements in Group 0 or 18 or VIII A
- 14. when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties
- 17. the tendency for an atom to attract electrons to itself when it is chemically combined with another element
- 20. one of a class of elements having properties intermediate to metals and nonmetals
- 21. ______________Energy:the energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom
Down
- 2. _______________Metal:element characterized by addition of electrons to d suborbitals
- 3. one of a class of elements that are not lustrous and are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity; nonmetals are grouped on the right side of the periodic table
- 4. _____________Earth Metal:any metal in Group 2 on the periodic table
- 5. ____________Electrons: Highest occupied energy level s and p electrons
- 6. ________________effect: the blocking of valence shell electron attraction by the nucleus, due to the presence of inner-shell electrons
- 8. a law stating that like charges repel and opposite charges attract, with a force proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
- 9. any member of the nonmetallic elements in Group 17 of the periodic table
- 12. one-half the distance between the nuclei in a molecule consisting of identical atoms
- 13. Positively charged ion resulting from the loss of one or more electrons
- 15. one of a class of elements that includes a large majority of the known elements; metals are characteristically lustrous, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity
- 16. Negatively charged ion resulting from the gaining of one or more electrons
- 18. _______________Transition Metals (Lanthanides & Actinides):an element in the lanthanide and actinide series; characterized by addition of electrons to f orbitals
- 19. Elements in Groups 1,2, and 13-18.
