Noble Gases Group 8 of the periodic table, low reactivity. Atomic Mass Relative Atomic Mass: The mass of one atom of an element compared with one-twelfth of the mass of one atom of carbon-12. Mendeleev Dmitri Mendeleev is generally noted as the creator of the modern periodic table. His theory was to leave room for elements not yet discovered. Atomic Number The number of protons (and therefore of electrons) in an atom. Orbital The region in an atom where an electron is most likely to be found. Atom A single unit of an element. Halogens Group 7 of the periodic table. Block The periodic table is split up into four blocks, s, d, p and f, based on the element’s characteristic orbital. Period A horizontal row of the periodic table. Electron A negatively charged particle. Electrons orbit the atomic nucleus in energy levels. Neutron A neutral (uncharged) particle in the atomic nucleus. Its mass is approximately 1 atomic unit. Element A substance which cannot be broken down into any simpler substance by chemical means. Proton A positively charged particle in the atomic nucleus. Its mass is approximately 1 atomic unit. The elements in a column of the Periodic Table. Synthetic An element too unstable to occur naturally on Earth. Group
