S8P1f PERIODIC TABLE 12. Where are metals located on the periodic table? The metals are located on the left of metalloids on the periodic table in periods two through seven and groups one through twelve, including periods two through seven in group thirteen, periods five through seven in group fourteen, period six and seven in group fifteen, and period seven in group sixteen. 13. List 3 properties of metals. Metals are conductors, malleable, and shiny. 14. Give 5 examples of metallic elements. Silver, Strontium, and Potassium are examples of metallic elements. 15. Where are nonmetals located on the periodic table? Nonmetals are located to the right of the metalloid on the periodic table. Specifically, nonmetals are in groups seventeen, eighteen, and in period two of groups fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, in period three of groups fifteen and sixteen, and in period four of group fourteen. 16. List 3 properties of nonmetals. Nonmetals are ductile, brittle, and dull. 17. Give 5 examples of nonmetals. Five examples of nonmetals include Selenium, Chlorine, Helium, Hydrogen, and Carbon. 18. Where are metalloids located on the periodic table? Give 3 examples of metalloids. Metalloids are located along the staircase starting at period two, group thirteen. 19. How is the periodic table arranged? Write a paragraph and use the following words: Atomic number, group, period, stairstep line The periodic table is arranged into groups and periods based upon the atomic number of each element. The atomic numbers increase across each period and then by column. The increasing order reads like a book. Each group and period reflects different characteristics of the elements. The elements that have similar characteristics will be in the same group. The elements that are in the same period will have the same number of valence electrons, which reveals their ability to bond with other elements. In addition, the elements are also divided into metals and nonmetals, which are to the left and right of the stairstep line, respectively. The stairstep line marks where the metalloids are located.
20. What is a valence electron? Valence electrons are the electrons found on the outer-most electron orbital of an atom s electron cloud. 21. Fill in the chart below. Given the group number, identify the name of that group/family, the number of valence electrons that elements in that group have, and an example of an element in that family. Group # Group name # of valence example electrons in group 1 Alkali Metals 1 Potassium 2 Alkaline Earth Metals 2 Beryllium 3-12 Transition Metals varies Gold 17 Halogens 7 Fluorine 18 Noble Gasses 8 Helium 22. Which elements do NOT typically react with other elements? Noble gases 23. What are the most reactive metals? What are the most reactive nonmetals? Alkali metals are the most reactive metal. Halogens are the most reactive nonmetals. The periodic table is arrange into: 24. Horizontal rows, called periods. 25. Vertical columns, called groups/family. C 26. Elements with similar chemical properties are in the same on the periodic table. a. period c. group b. row d. ion
The following blank periodic table has a few elements labeled with the letters A-F. Use what you know about the periodic table to answer the questions below. A B E C D F 27. a halogen? C 28. a noble gas? D 29. a metalloid? E 30. an element that would not react with other elements? D 31. the letter with the highest atomic number? F 32. the letter with the least atomic mass? A 33. the metals that are the most reactive A, B F is also a transition metal. Use the clues to identify the elements described below: 34. Alkaline earth metal 35. Transition metal 60 neutrons 38 electrons 10 th group Strontium Palladium 36. Halogen, period 2 37. Alkali metal, 48 neutrons Fluorine Caesium
38. What is an ion? An ion is an atom that has a positive or negative charge because it has gained or lost at least one electron. 39. What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonding? Be specific. An ionic bond is the chemical bond between two atoms in which the electrons of one atom is transferred to another, creating ions because the charge of the atoms change. Ions are bonded through their opposite charges. A covalent bond is the bond between two atoms in which they share one or more valence electrons in their cloud. 40. Give an example of an ionic and a covalent bond. An example of an ionic bond is Chlorine and Sodium (any metal and nonmetal). An example of a covalent bond is Chlorine and Oxygen (any nonmetal and nonmetal).

What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture? _C/E cannot be separated by physical means C all have a molecular/chemical formula A pure substance is an element or a compound. It can be bonded or separated through a chemical reaction. The parts of a compound may or may not keep its properties when combined. A mixture can be classified as homogenous or heterogeneous mixture. It can be combined or separated through a physical change. The parts of a mixture will keep its properties when combined.

What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state? The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed; therefore, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. 48. What is the difference between the product and the reactant? The reactants are the components of a chemical equation that you begin with and the product is the result of the combination of the reactants through a chemical reaction. 49. Juanita mixes 2 grams of substance X with 3 grams of substance Y in a flask. After the substances react, gas does not escape. She records the mass of the new substance. What mass does she record? 2 grams of X + 3 grams of Y = 5 grams of the new substance. The Law of Conservation of Mass demonstrates this. 50.
