Chemistry Review Activities. I re-organized the course during the 2014 - 2015 school year. Some review activities were moved to new units. This has resulted in a change to some of the file names, so direct links to the individual activities may need to be changed. These are not graded assignments. They are intended only as practice of concepts and vocabulary that are essential to your success in this course. Most of these interactive review activities work equally well in recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari. For most activities, each time you reload the activity, the problems will be in a different order, and the answers will be reshuffled! Most of these activities will launch in a new browser window. Unit 0 - The Methods of Chemistry Unit 1 - Atomic Structure Unit 2 - Periodic Behavior and Ionic Bonding Element Classes Review - Unit 2 Benchmark #1 (Matching Activity) Element Classes Review 2 - Unit 2 Benchmark #1 (Multiple Choice) Element Classes Review - Unit 2 Benchmark #1.

Chemistry: Quiz: The pH Scale. Chemistry Tutorial. How do I find the number of protons, electrons and neutrons that are in an atom of...? How many protons, electrons and neutrons are in an atom of krypton, carbon, oxygen, neon, silver, gold, etc...? To find the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in an atom, just follow these easy steps: Step 1 - Gather Information The first thing you will need to do is find some information about your element.

Go to the Periodic Table of Elements and click on your element. If it makes things easier, you can select your element from an alphabetical listing. Use the Table of Elements to find your element's atomic number and atomic weight. Step 2 - The Number of Protons is... The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. The interesting thing here is that every atom of krypton contains 36 protons. Step 3 - The Number of Electrons is... By definition, atoms have no overall electrical charge. Electrons are arranged around atoms in a special way. An atom can gain or lose electrons, becoming what is known as an ion. Step 4 - The Number of Neutrons is... In Summary... Dynamic Periodic Table. PERIODIC CHART. The periodic chart of the elements.Properties of matter.Periodic properties.Element, ion, and compound symbols.Categories of elements.Noble gases.Metals.Non-metals.Semi-metals.Hydrogen.Groups or families of the periodic chart.A Familiar Periodic Table with Atomic Numbers, Symbols, and Masses.

The Periodic Chart of the Elements is just a way to arrange the elements to show a large amount of information and organization. As you read across the chart from right to left, a line of elements is a Period. As you read down the chart from top to bottom, a line of elements is a Group or Family. We number the elements, beginning with hydrogen, number one, in integers up to the largest number. The integer number in the box with the element symbol is the atomic number of the element and also the number of protons in each atom of the element. Back to the beginning of Periodic Chart. The Periodic Chart is based on the properties of matter. There are two types of property of matter. Chemistry. Each block of the periodic table houses an element, along with a few standard facts about that element: ­Atomic number: integer equal to the number of protons or electrons in the element.

Gold's atomic number is 79.Element symbol: one or two letters. In the case of two letters, the first one is always capitalized. Hydrogen's symbol is just H, while helium's is He. Symbols can be tricky because some are based on the first letter(s) of the element's common name, as hydrogen's is, while other symbols are based on the Latin names of the element, such as Au for gold (or aurum in Latin).Element nameAtomic weight: usually a decimal value, such as 196.966 569(4) for gold Some periodic tables include the electron configuration (arrangement of electrons) in a corner of the block or below the name of the element. ­ Within the table, ­the elements are arranged by increasing atomic number, as you'll recall.

Each energy level above the first one has sublevels or orbitals.
