Unit 2 Test Study Guide: Atomic Structure and the Periodic ...

1 Name: _____ Class: _____ Unit 2 Test Study guide : Atomic Structure and the Periodic table 1. What is an atom? Give the definition. An atom is the building block of all matter. It is the basic particle from which all elements are made. 2. Define molecule, and give 3 examples of molecules. A molecule is the combination of two or atoms held together through a chemical bond. Examples include O2, H2O, and MgSO4 3. There are 3 subatomic particles in the atom. Fill in the blanks in the following chart, including the name, charge, and location of the particle.

2 4. Label the atom below: Particle Charge Location Neutron Neutral It is located in the nucleus. Electron Negative It is located in the orbitals or the electron cloud. Proton Positive It is located in the nucleus. 2. electron 1. neutron 3. proton 4. nucleus Name: _____ Class: _____ 5. 6. 7. 8. How do you know how many protons an atom of a certain element will have? What number should you look for? The number of protons is the same as the Atomic number of the element because the number of protons defines the element.

3 9. When drawing the Bohr Models of atoms, each electron orbital can hold a MAXIMUM number of electrons. Fill in the missing numbers from the following chart. Energy Shell Maximum Number of Electrons 1st 2 2nd 8 3rd 18 Bohr Model Practice Draw a Bohr model for the following elements. Indicate the number of protons and number of neutrons in the nucleus, and the number of electrons in each energy shell of the atom. 10. Magnesium 11. Phosphorus Zn I Br 30 30 30 25 53 53 53 74 35 35 35 45 Name: _____ Class: _____ S8P1f Periodic table 12.

4 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.

5 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.

6 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.

7 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. Name: _____ Class: _____ 20. What is a valence electron? Valence electrons are the electrons found on the outer-most electron orbital of an atom s electron cloud.

8 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 electrons in group example 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?

9 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 Name: _____ Class: _____ 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.

10 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 10th group Strontium Palladium 36.
