3. Which subatomic particle does not have a charge? neutron

4. Where are the electrons in an atom? “orbiting” around the nucleus in an electron cloud

5. What is another name for an atom that is positively charged? cation

6. What type of charge do electrons have? negative

7. How many electrons can the first energy level hold? 2

8. Which subatomic particles are in the nucleus of an atom? Protons and neutrons

9. Where, on a periodic table, would you find the nonmetallic elements? On the right side – to the right of the zig-zag line

10. What does the atomic mass number of an element tell you? The number of protons plus the number of neutrons in the atoms’ nucleus.

11. What is the term for the horizontal rows of the Periodic table? periods

12. What does the group number of the “A” elements tell you about elements in that group? The charge

13. Why is an atom of each element on the periodic table considered to be neutral? Because it has an equal amount of protons (+) and electrons (-).

14. Name the 7 elements that are diatomic (they only exist when there are two atoms present)…. Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Chlorine, Iodine, Flourine, and Bromine

15. What is the charge for elements in Group V? -3

16. What is significant about the inert gases in group VIII? They do not form bonds – they have a full valence energy level (with 8)

17. What is the charge for elements in Group I? +1

18. What is another name for the elements in Group I? The Alkali metals

19. Which large group of elements have more than one possible charge? The transition metals

20. What is the charge for elements in Group VII?

21. Which element has a symbol of Na? Sodium

22. Which element has the symbol Hg? Mercury

23. What is the symbol for Tungsten? W

24. What is the symbol for the element Tin? Sn

25. What is the name of the element with the symbol Cu? Copper

26. What is the symbol for the element Iron? Fe

27. What is an isotope? When atoms of the same element have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

28. What is a proton? A subatomic particle with a positive charge located in the nucleus of an atom?

29. Which type of element is a good conductor (of heat and electricity)? A metal

30. Which group of elements do not form any bonds? The noble gases (or inert gases)

31. What is the name of the type of elements that have some characteristics of metals and some of non-metals? Metalloids (or semi-conductors)

32. What is a mole? The base unit that describes the amount of a substance (usually a large amount of small things – like atoms)
