1. Who is attributed with the creation of the first modern periodic table?
Dimitri Mendeleev
5. Elements with similar chemical properties are in the same groups and families.
Group 14 4. Group 18 8
Name Evelyn Zheng (7Cl)
10. The Halogens are in Group 17 and are among the most reactive elements on the periodic
table.
15. The bonds in nitrogen triiodide are very weak, while those in nitrogen gas
17. The rightmost group on the periodic table is called noble gasses.
18. Helium’s name derives from the word Helios (Sun in Greek).
20. Argon’s name derives from the Greek word for Argos.
21. The most notable characteristic of the Noble Gasses is lazy, inactive, (audience lols)
Name Evelyn Zheng (7Cl)
23. The two rows that are separated and located at the bottom are called the lanthanides and
actinides.
Antoine Laviosior.
29. When oxygen gas reacts with other substances, it usually takes
35. The traditional name for calcium carbonate is Calcite. Its formula is:
37. Where do the “alkali metals” and the “alkaline Earth metals” get their name?
The fact where it still remained solid at room temperature when it was dissolved in
water.
39. Several elements are classified by how they react with water.
41. Lithium reacts with oxygen to form lithium oxide, with formula
42. Group I metals react with water to form hydrogen gas and metal hydroxides.
For questions 44 - 46, fill in the blank with a number (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc.)
44. When lithium reacts with oxygen, the compound formed has a ratio of OXYGEN atoms
46. When Scandium reacts with oxygen, the atoms combine with a ratio of Sc2O3.
48. When dissolved in water, does CO2 form acidic or basic solution? acidic.
49. What is the name of the acid formed by carbon dioxide in water? Carbonic acid.
52. Sulfur burned in pure oxygen emits what color of light? BLUE AND PURPLE.
53. The product of the reaction between sulfur and oxygen forms Sulfuric acid acid when
dissolved in water.
54. Which element has the highest melting/boiling point of all nonmetals? Carbon
56. Which material would make the best frying pan: iron, graphite, or diamond? Why?
Diamond because it is a great conductor of heat.
57. Two atoms that form a bond have electrons filling into bonding orbitals. The reason
that neon can’t form bonds is because electrons would go in to special orbitals called
orbitals.
58. Which metal has the highest melting/boiling point of all elements? Tungsten.
59. What are the two densest elements on the periodic table?
60. If you were trying to create fake gold bars, what element (other than gold) would you use
to fill in the center? Why?
Tungsten because it has the same density.
