    What is periodicity?

    Explains the recurring trends in element properties based on atomic number.

    What defines groups in the periodic table?

    Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.

    What are periods in the periodic table?

    Indicate the number of energy levels in the elements.

    What are valence electrons?

    Determine how an atom bonds with others.

    What are protons?

    Their number defines the identity of an element.

    What are neutrons?

    Contribute to the atomic mass but not charge.

    What is the Bohr model?

    Illustrates electrons in fixed orbits around the nucleus.

    Who is Mendeleev?

    Known for creating the first periodic table and predicting elements.

    What is the periodic table?

    Organizes elements by atomic number and similar properties.

    What are compounds?

    Formed when different elements bond chemically.

    What are bonds?

    Essential for forming compounds from atoms.

    What are intermolecular forces?

    Influence the physical properties of substances.

    What is the octet rule?

    Atoms seek to have eight electrons in their outer shell.

    What are dispersion forces?

    Result from temporary shifts in electron density.

    What is a hydrogen bond?

    Stronger than other intermolecular forces due to specific atoms.

    What is a polyatomic ion?

    Acts as a single ion despite being made of multiple atoms.

    What is a chemical formula?

    Represents the composition of a compound using symbols.

    What is an ionic compound?

    Formed through the transfer of electrons between atoms.

    What is a molecular compound?

    Created when atoms share electrons through covalent bonds.

    What is an atom?

    The fundamental unit that retains the properties of an element.

    What is an electron?

    Responsible for the chemical behavior of atoms.

    What is an isotope?

    Different forms of an element with varying neutron counts.

    What is an ion?

    Results from the gain or loss of electrons by an atom.

    What is an electron dot structure?

    Visualizes valence electrons around an element symbol.
