Unit 4: The Periodic Table
Across
- 2. A column on the periodic table
- 5. pure elements that form molecules consisting of two atoms bonded together to be more stable
- 6. The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom
- 7. Horizontal rows on the periodic table
- 8. A negatively charged ion
- 9. A positively charged ion
- 16. Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
- 18. Elements that are good conductors of electric current and heat.
- 19. elements that appear below the main body of the periodic table; sometimes referred to as rare earth metals
Down
- 1. Groups 3-12, 1-2 electrons in the outer energy level, less reactive than alkali-earth metals, shiny, good conductor of thermal energy and electrical current, high density
- 3. the ability of an atom to attract electrons when the atom is in a compound
- 4. the energy required to remove the first electron from an atom
- 8. one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together
- 10. An atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge.
- 11. Elements that are poor conductors of heat and electric current. Often gasses at room temperature.
- 12. Group 18, full valence shell, nonmetals that rarely react
- 13. When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
- 14. group 2, 2 valence electrons, harder than the alkali metals and are also less reactive
- 15. Group 17, 7 valence electrons, nonmetals and very reactive
- 17. Group 1, 1 valence electron, very reactive, soft, silver, shiny, low density.
