ATOMS | smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element. |
ELEMENT | PURE SUBSTANCE OF ONE KIND OF ATOM |
NUCLEUS | center of an atom; made up of protons and neutrons |
PERIODIC LAW | properties of elements tend to repeat in a regular pattern when elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number |
METALS | grouped on left side of periodic table; elements are shiny and conduct heat and electricity |
NONMETALS | elements that are poor conductors of heat and electricity; grouped on the right side of periodic table |
METALLOIDS | elements that have properties of metals and nonmetals |
ATOMIC MASS | weighted average mass of element's isotopes |
MENDELEEV | father of periodic table: determined the relationship of elements to organize them into a table |
physical change | no change in the chemical makeup of substance |
physical change | changes between states of matter such as freezing and melting |
metals | classification of elements such as zinc and copper |
oxygen | Name of element with atomic number of 8 |
metalloids | classification of elements such as boron and astatine |
boron | Name of element with 5 protons |
silver | Name of element with symbol of Ag |
helium | Name of element with 2 electrons |
nonmetals | classification of elements such as carbon and fluorine |
chemical change | result of a reaction in which the chemical makeup of the substance changes |
physical change | boiling liquid water changes to steam |
protons | same as atomic number |
electrons | atom has no charge, is neutral so number of protons equals number of ________ |
element | A substance composed of a single kind of atom. |
AMU | abbreviation for atomic mass unit |
mass number | sum of protons and neutrons |
isotopes | members of a family of an element that all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons |
atomic mass unit | a unit of mass for expressing masses of atoms |
atomic mass | average weighted masses of all an element's isotopes |
electrons | found in shells /orbits that surround nucleus of the atom |
