The Periodic Table
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1Define perioda horizontal row of elements in the Periodic Table. Elements show trends in properties acros a period
- 2Define groupa vertical column of elements in the Periodic table. Elements in a group have similar chemical properties and their atoms have the same number of outer-shell electrons
- 3Define periodicitya repeating pattern of properties across the Periodic Table
- 4Define thermal decompositionthe breaking up of a chemical substance with heat into at least two chemical substances
- 5Define displacement reactiona reaction in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from an aqueous solution of the latter's ions
- 6Define disproportionationthe oxidation and reduction of the same element in a redox reaction
- 7Define precipitation reactionis the formation of a solid from a solution during a chemical reaction. Precipitates are often formed when two aqueous solutions are mixed together
