Periodic Table

The Periodic Table is a tabular arrangement of the elements in increasing order oftheir atomic numbers, so that elements with similar properties are in the same column. There are 18 columns, called groups, and seven rows, which are called periods, in the modern periodic table. Questions about the Periodic Table: its history and creation, trends, groups/families, and periods are asked in our Periodic Table category.

Does bromine tend to lose or gain electrons to become an ion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bromine, like Fluorine and Chlorine, is an Halogen. Halogens gain an electron to become X^(-) anion.

'X' being the general symbol for an halogen.

What is a liquid metal in period 6 group 12?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mercury (Hg ; Hydragyrum).

It is only one of two elements that are liquids are STP.

Mercury is also known as 'Quicksilver'. Becasue a spot of it on a glass surface is impossible to pick up (quick) added to which it is silvery in solour, hence its name 'Quicksilver'.

How do you draw the isomers of C5H11OH?

Asked by Wiki User

You can have the alcohol functional group (-OH) on the end of the chain or or it can be on any carbon in the chain .

e.g.

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ( pentan-1-ol)

CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3 ( pentan-2-ol)

CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3 ( pentan-3-ol)

Asked by Wiki User

Bismuth sulphate.

NB

The formula should be written as Bi2(SO4)3 . Note the use of the brackets, otherwise it indicates that there are '43' oxygen atoms in the molecule.

What compound has a molar mass of 18 grams?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Water.

Remember the equation

Moles = mass(g) / Mr (Relative Molecular Mass)

So Molar Mass(g) is = to moles X Mr.

or

Mr = mass(g) /moles

Since ther mass is 18 g and molar mass is 1 mole

Then substitute

Mr = 18g / 1 = 18

So referring to the Periodic Table. for elements with an atomic below 18 .

We have oxygen at 16 and hydrogen at 1

So 16 + 1 + 1 = 18

.

Hence oxygen + 2 hydrogen = water (H2O).

Chlorine has two stable isotopes ; Cl-35 & Cl-37

The subatomic particle arrangemtn in them is

Cl-35 ; 17 protons, 18 neutrons, 17 electrons

Cl-37 ; 17 protons, 20 neutrons, 17 electrons.

What is Na on the periodic table?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

'Na' is Sodium. The use of 'Na'. comes from the Latin name for sodium , which is 'Nadium'

Similarly

'K' is Potassium. The use of 'K'. comes from the Latin name for potassium , which is 'Kalium'

NB There are a number of other elements in the Periodic Table, where the symbol does not indicate the modern name.

What does the subscript number stand for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The number in the subscript of a chemical formula tells the number of that atom in a molecule. For example, in H2O, the 2 tells you there are 2 hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. in C3H8, there are 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms as reflected by the 3 and 8 in the formula respectively.

How do you find out how many neutrons are in an atom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For any element in ther periodic table., two numbers are given. They are the Atomic No. and the Atomic Mass.

The Atomic Number indicates the elements position in the periodic table.

The number of protons in the element

The number of electrons in the nuetrally charged element.

The Atomic mass is the total of all the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom .

So to find the number of neutrons in an element , the difference between the Atomic Mass and the Atomic Number is the number of neutrons present.

Two examples ; -

hydrogen ; [1/1] H ; 1 - 1 = 0 so no neutrons.

chlorine ; [35/17]Cl ; 35-17 = 18 so 18 neutrons present.

NB The larger number is the Atomic Mass, usually printed at the top left of a given element. The small number is the Atomic Number, usually printed at the bottom(left) of any given element.

Which group I and group VII elements react together most vigorously?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Francium and Fluorine. They would react instantaneously and explosively.

However, this would never be done in an open lab. , because francium is radio-active.

However, Sodium (Grp (I)) and Chlorine (Grp(VII)), will react in a gas jar in the lab. But less vigorously than the above two.

The Atmoic Number is the ;-

#2 the number of protons in the nucleus

#3 the number of electrons around the nucleus for a neutrally charged atom.

What other elements have similar properties to carbon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Elements in Group 14 on the Periodic Table have similar properties to carbon. These elements are carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), and flerovium (Fl). Each of these elements has two electrons in the outermost p orbital, the electron configuration ns2np2, and they tend to adopt oxidation sates of +4 (+2 for the heavier elements due to the inert pair effect). Silicon is most similar to carbon.

What element's chemical symbol comes from the latin word for alkali kalium?

Why is the chemical sybol for argentum is ag and not ar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The chemical symbol for argentum is NOT 'ag' , but 'Ag'.

Ag ( Argentum is the Latin for Silver).

NB For all elemental symbols.

#1 A single letter symbol is ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. e.g. 'C' Carbon.

#2 A two letter symbol is written; ffirst letter is a capital letter and the second letter is always lower/small case. eg/ Au( Aurum is Latin for Gold).

NB 'Ar' is the noble gas 'Argon'.

What does 'k' stand for in the periodic table?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

'K' in the periodic table is the symbol for potassium . Its Latin name being 'Kalium' , hence the symbol 'K'.

NB. One letter elemental symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. NOT small case 'k'.

Two letter elemental symbols have first letter a capital letter and the second letter as lower/small case. e.g. 'Na' Sodium (Nadium).

What does the symbol NaNO3 stand for on the periodic table?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NaNO3 is NOT in the Periodic Table, because it is a molecule, NOT an element.

NaNO3 is sodium nitrate. It is a combination of the followinf elements which are in the periodic table. : -

1 x sodium(Na)

1 x nitrogen(N)

3 x oxygen (O)

What family does Curium belong to on the periodic table?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

curium belongs to the actinide series on the periodic table. The actinides are a group of elements in the seventh period of the periodic table, and they follow actinium (Ac) and precede lawrencium (Lr). The actinide series includes elements with atomic numbers from 89 to 103. Curium has the atomic number 96 and is represented by the symbol Cm.
