Q

What are the seven diatomic molecules?

A

N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2, and H2

18
Q

What are the six metalloids?

A

B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te (Po and At can be considered metalloids but for this test she’s saying we don’t need to know that)

19
Q

What are the characteristics of metalloids?

A

It’s a mix between metals and nonmetals, they can gain or lose electrons, they are semi conductors

20
Q

What do transition metals form and why?

A

Colored compounds due to the various charges
Mn can have a charge from +2 to +7

21
Q

What are lanthanides and what atomic numbers are they?

A

They are “Rare earths” with the atomic numbers 57 to 71

22
Q

Where are anctinides?

A

They are atomic numbers 89 to 103 MANY OF THEM ARE REDIOACTIVE

23
Q

What are the properties of alkali metals?

A

They are the most reactive, they exist only as compounds in nature, and they only lose one electron

24
Q

How does reactivity increase? (Alkali metals)

A

They increase going down the group

25
What is the most radioactive?
Fr
26
What is most reactive?
Cs and it's most metal like
27
What are Alkali metals really reactive to?
Air or water, creating violent explosions
28
What are the characteristics of Alkali Earth metals?
They are the second most reactive metals, they exist only as compounds in nature, and they lose two electrons
29
Where are Alkali Earth metals found?
In the second group
30
What are the properties of Halogens?
They are non-metals, exist as DIATOMIC MOLECULES, and gain one electron
31
What happens as you go down group 17? (Halogens)
The reactivity and non-metallic character decreases (F2 is the most reactive nonmetal)
32
At STP F2 is?
A gas
33
At STP Cl2 is?
A gas
34
At STP Br2 is?
liquid
35
At STP I2 is?
A solid and a sublime (It can go directly from solid to gas)
36
At STP At2 is?
Solid, radioactive, and very unstable
37
What are the characteristics of a noble gas?
Its mono-atomic (So anything made up of noble gases consists of singular atoms), they are non-reactive (VERY STABLE, don't rlly form chemical bonds
38
Why are noble gases so stable?
There outmost shell is full
39
What does DUCTILE mean?
easily drawn into wires
40
What does MALLEABLE mean?
Easily hammered into sheets
41
What does CORRODED mean?
Easily reacts with water or oxygen
42
What does LUSTER mean?
Shiny
