The Periodic Table MAKEUP

Front

What are non-metals?

Back

Non-metals are elements that typically lack the characteristics of metals. They are usually poor conductors of heat and electricity, have higher electronegativities, and can form covalent bonds.

Front

Which element is classified as a metal?

Back

Z is classified as a metal.

Front

What does multivalent mean in terms of elements?

Back

Multivalent elements can form more than one type of ion, meaning they can have multiple oxidation states.

Front

What is atomic radius?

Back

Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost shell of electrons, often referred to as atomic size.

Front

What is the trend of atomic size in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic size generally increases down a group and decreases across a period from left to right.

Front

What are the characteristics of metals?

Back

Metals are typically shiny, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity.

Front

What are the characteristics of non-metals?

Back

Non-metals are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table?

Back

The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties.

Front

What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic number?

Back

Atomic mass is the weighted average mass of an element's isotopes, while atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

What is a group in the periodic table?

Back

A group is a vertical column in the periodic table that contains elements with similar chemical properties.
