A row of elements in the periodic table.

New cards
3

Group

Elements aligned vertically in columns in the periodic table.

New cards
4

Valence Electrons

Electrons in the outer shell of an atom.

New cards

New cards
6

p-block

Elements with at least 1 p-electron in the outer shell.

New cards
7

d-block

Elements with at least 1 d-electron and at least 1 s-electron but no f or p electrons in the outer shell.

New cards
8

f-block

New cards
9

Atomic Radius

The size of an atom, the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron shell.

New cards
10

Ionic Radius

The size of an ion, the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron shell of an ion.

New cards
11

Ionization Energy

The amount of energy required to remove 1 mole of electrons from 1 mole of atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous ions.

New cards
12

Electron Affinity

The amount of energy released when 1 mole of electrons is gained by 1 mole of atoms to form 1 mole of gaseous ions.

New cards
13

Electronegativity

The ability of an atom to attract an electron pair in a covalent bond.

New cards
14

Anions

Negative ions formed when atoms gain electrons.

New cards
15

Pauling Scale

A scale used to measure the value of electronegativity for each atom.

New cards
16

Oxide

A binary compound that contains oxygen and another element.

New cards
17

Amphoteric

Having the ability to react chemically as either an acid or a base.

New cards
18

Alkali Metals

Group 1 metals that form alkaline solutions with high pH when they react with water.

New cards
19

Halogens

Group 17 non-metals that are poisonous and form halide ions by gaining one more electron to complete the octet rule.

New cards
20

Density

The measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance.

New cards
21

Melting/Boiling Points

The temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid (melting point) or from a liquid to a gas (boiling point).

New cards
22

Reactivity

The tendency of a substance to undergo chemical reactions.

New cards
23

Electron Configuration

The arrangement of electrons in an atom or ion.

New cards
24

Valence Electrons

The electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.

New cards
25

Electron Affinity

The energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion.

New cards
26

Atomic Radius

The distance from the center of an atom to the outermost electron shell.

New cards
27

Shielding

The effect of inner electrons blocking the attraction between the nucleus and outer electrons.

New cards
28

Electrostatic Forces

The forces of attraction or repulsion between charged particles.

New cards
29

Halogen Displacement

When a more reactive halogen displaces a less reactive halogen from a solution of its halide.

New cards
30

Displacement Reactions

Chemical reactions where one element replaces another element in a compound.

New cards
31

A compound consisting of sodium and iodine ions.

New cards
35

Iodine

A chemical element with the symbol I and atomic number 53.
