Board content
Table Basics
- $100 — The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called these.
- periods
- $200 — The vertical columns of the periodic table are called these.
- groups
- $300 — Elements are arranged primarily by increasing this number.
- atomic number
- $400 — The atomic number equals the number of these in the nucleus.
- protons
- $500 — An element's chemical symbol is usually one or two of these.
- letters
Families
- $100 — Group 1 elements are known as these metals.
- alkali metals
- $200 — Group 17 elements are called these.
- halogens
- $300 — Group 18 elements are known as these gases.
- noble gases
- $400 — Elements in the center d-block are generally called these.
- transition metals
- $500 — Hydrogen is unusual because it sits above Group 1 but is this type of element.
- a nonmetal
Periodic Trends
- $100 — Atomic radius generally increases as you move this direction down a group.
- downward
- $200 — Atomic radius generally decreases moving left to right because effective nuclear charge does this.
- increases
- $300 — Ionization energy generally increases moving this way across a period.
- left to right
- $400 — Electronegativity is highest near this element.
- fluorine
- $500 — Metallic character generally increases toward this corner of the periodic table.
- the bottom left
Ions & Bonding
- $100 — When an atom loses electrons, it becomes this positively charged ion.
- a cation
- $200 — When an atom gains electrons, it becomes this negatively charged ion.
- an anion
- $300 — A bond formed by electron transfer is this type.
- an ionic bond
- $400 — A bond formed by sharing electrons is this type.
- a covalent bond
- $500 — NaCl is held together primarily by this type of attraction.
- ionic attraction
Element Clues
- $100 — This element has atomic number 6 and forms the backbone of organic molecules.
- carbon
- $200 — This element has symbol Fe.
- iron
- $300 — This noble gas has atomic number 10.
- neon
- $400 — This halogen is commonly added to toothpaste compounds.
- fluorine — Element Clues
- $500 — This metal is liquid near room temperature and has symbol Hg.
- mercury — Element Clues
