Know the following vocabulary:
family
a column in the periodic table;
elements in the same family will have similar properties
(same as group)
group
a column in the periodic table;
elements in the same family will have similar properties
(same as family)
period
a row across the periodic table;
chemical properties tend to repeat from one period to another
noble gas
group 18, sometimes called group 8A;
elements that almost never form compounds with other atoms
ionic bond
one atom gives away one or more electrons to another atom;
opposite electric charges hold the resulting ions together
cation
positively charged ion;
often made from elements on the left side of the periodic table
anion
negatively charged ion;
often made from elements on the right side of the periodic table
formula unit
formula that shows the ratio of elements in an ionic compound
binary
composed of only two elements
monatomic ion
a single atom with an electric charge
oxidation state
the charge of an ion;
usually +1, +2, +3, -1, -2, -3, or 0
(same as oxidation number)
oxidation number
electrolyte
the charge of an ion;
usually +1, +2, +3, -1, -2, -3, or 0
(same as oxidation state)
an ionic compound that will conduct electricity when in solution
