  • Who was Dmitri Mendeleev?
    A Russian chemist and inventor
  • What did Mendeleev devise in the mid-nineteenth century?
    The periodic table of elements
  • What does the periodic table organize?
    All known elements
  • What did Mendeleev's periodic table predict?
    New elements not yet discovered
  • How are elements arranged in the periodic table?
    By increasing atomic number
  • What does the atomic number represent?
    The number of protons in an atom
  • What is found within each box of the periodic table?
    The nucleus symbol for that element
  • What is the elemental symbol for sodium?
    Na
  • What does the atomic number indicate?
    Number of protons in the atom
  • What does the mass number represent?
    Total number of protons and neutrons
  • What pattern did Mendeleev observe in the elements?
    Repeating chemical properties at intervals
  • What are the horizontal rows in the periodic table called?
    Periods
  • What do elements in the same vertical column share?
    Similar chemical properties
  • What is the group number for the far-right group?
    Group 0
  • Why do elements in the same group have similar properties?
    Same number of electrons in outer shell
  • How many electrons do elements in Group 2 have in their outer shell?
    Two electrons
  • What are the elements in Group 1 called?
    Alkali metals
  • What do all Group 1 elements have in common?
    One electron in the outer shell
  • How do Group 1 elements react with water?
    Violently
  • What trend is observed in Group 1 elements as you move down the group?
    They become more reactive
  • What are Group 7 elements called?
    Halogens
  • How many electrons do Group 7 elements have in their outer shell?
    Seven electrons
  • How does reactivity change in Group 7 elements as you go down the group?
    They become less reactive
  • What are the elements in Group 0 called?
    Noble gases
  • What is unique about the outer shells of noble gases?
    They have full outer shells
  • How many electrons does argon have in its outer shell?
    Eight electrons
  • How many electrons does helium have in its outer shell?
    Two electrons
  • Why are noble gases unreactive?
    They don't need to gain or lose electrons
  • What does the zigzag line in the periodic table separate?
    Metals from nonmetals
  • What is the special block of elements in the middle of metals called?
    Transition metals
  • What should you remember about different types of periodic tables?
    They present the same information differently
  • How can you identify the atomic number in a periodic table?
    It is the smaller of the two numbers
  • What will the periodic table in your exam resemble?
    Similar to the one used in the video
