loose leaf paper.
1. Define the following terms:
6. Nucleus
11. Neutron
1. Atom
7. Density
12. Element
2. Molecule
8. Electron Shell
13. Mass Number
3. Atomic number
9. Electron
14. Chemical Property
4. Chemical formula
10. Proton
15. Physical Property
2. Identify the following categories on the blank periodic table attached to the
review. What are the key characteristics of the ones that are in bold and
underlined?
a. Metals
b. Non-metals
c. Alkali metals
d. Alkaline earth metals
e. Noble gases
f. Transitional metals
g. Halogens
h. Metalloids (label the staircase clearly)
3. Draw a Bohr diagram for each of the following elements:
a. Nitrogen b. Neon
c. Fluorine d. Calcium
Sodium

e. Hydrogen f.

*Please include the following:

- Correct # of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- Correct # of electrons in the proper electron shells.
- The electron configuration of the element (2,8,8).
- Your calculation for the number of neutrons.
4. Which subatomic particles make up most of the mass of an element? How
much do they weigh?
5. How do you determine if a change is chemical or physical?
6. Determine if the following changes are chemical or physical:
a. Ice freezes
b. Potassium metal reacts violently in water
c. You dissolve some salt in your soup
d. You light a match
e. You notice rust is appearing on your car
f. Water left over night evaporates
7. Why does ice float on water?
8. The king has tasked you with finding out if his crown is made of gold. You
decide place the crown in a water bath. The initial volume of the water bath is
500mL and it increases to 700mL when the crown is put in the water. If the

crown weighs 4.5 Kg is the crown made of pure gold? (Note* the density of
gold is 19.3 g/cm3)
9. What are the six changes of state?
10.Who is Mendeleev?
11.What determines the reactivity of elements?
12.Which families of elements are the most reactive, why?
13.Study your Periodic Trends worksheet
14.A chemical equation is said to be balanced when the number of atoms on the
reactant side equal the number of atoms on the product side. (arrow
separates the reactants on left from products on right). Count the atoms and
determine if the following equations are balanced (show work).

2 ALBr3 + 3 K2SO4
6 KSCN +

Fe2(SO4)3

6 KBr

3 K2SO4

Al2(So4)3
+ 2 Fe(SCN)3

15.Study your lab safety notes and symbols. (Note* I am not sure what Elliot did
with you. We will discuss on Thursday)
