1. Today’s special WELCOME BACK! 4th quarter schedule Science news
Periodic notes
Activity

2. Atoms and the periodic table
PAb: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the structure and properties of atoms.

3. All great achievements require time.
Maya Angelou
Fact: Quasars are believed to be stars, but may actually be distant galaxies.

4. elements Consist of only one type of atom Some exist in nature
Some are diatomic molecules
Many exist in combination with other atoms-molecules

5. Periodic table
A highly organized chart listing al the known elements arranged in horizontal rows called periods and vertical columns called groups

6. Atomic symbol
An abbreviation for an element derived from the first one or two letters of the elements name

8. Atomic mass
The number associated with an atom that is the same as the number of protons plus neutrons in its nucleus

9. metals
An element that is generally shiny, opaque, malleable, ductile, and a good conductor of electricity and heat

10. Non-metals
An element that is not shiny, opaque, malleable, ductile, and a good conductor of electricity and heat

11. metalloids
One of six elements – boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium- that exhibit both metallic and nonmetallic properties

12. periods
A horizontal row in the periodic table

13. groups A vertical column in the periodic table
A family of elements that exhibit the same chemical behavior

17. Valence Electrons
Why do the elements in a group have similar properties?
Elements in a group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
A valence electron is an electron that is in the highest occupied energy level of an atom.

18. Valence Electrons Valence electrons determine chemical reactivity.
Properties vary across a period because the number of valence electrons increases from left to right.

19. The Alkali Metals
A Unlike most metals, the alkali metal sodium is soft enough to cut with a knife. B When sodium reacts with water, enough energy is released to ignite the hydrogen that is produced.

20. The Alkaline Earth Metals
Chlorophyll molecules in spinach contain magnesium. An oyster shell and a pearl are both made from calcium carbonate. A plaster cast contains the compound calcium sulfate.

21. The Boron Family
A compound of boron, silicon, and oxygen is used to make glass that does not shatter easily when its temperature changes rapidly. Glass that contains boron is used to make laboratory glassware and cookware that can go directly from the oven to the refrigerator.

22. The Carbon Family
Silicon is the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust. The clay used to produce this pottery contains silicon compounds called silicates.

23. The Nitrogen Family
The numbers on the bags of fertilizer are, from left to right, the relative amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

24. The Oxygen Family
Sulfur was one of the first elements to be discovered because it is found in large natural deposits.

25. The Halogens
The elements in Group 7A are called halogens. Each halogen has seven valence electrons. At room temperature, chlorine is a gas, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid.

26. The Noble Gases
When electric current passes through noble gases, they emit different colors. Helium emits pink, neon emits orange-red, argon emits lavender, krypton emits white, and xenon emits blue.

27. Why do elements in a group have similar chemical properties?
