What is the purpose of the bold black line on the periodic table?

separates metals from nonmetals. Metalloids border this line

What is the zig zag line on a periodic table called?

Amphoteric line

name the first 20 elements of the periodic table

hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, sulphur, chlorine, argon, potassium, calcium

What are rows in the periodic table called?

Periods

How are periods arranged?

represent electron shells. Each period has a specific number of shells, from 1 to 7. Elements in a period have the same number of shells, but valence electrons increase from left to right.

What are columns in the periodic table called?

Groups

How are groups arranged?

Members of the same group have the same number of electrons in the outermost shell

define metal

any of a class of substances characterized by high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as by malleability, ductility, and high reflectivity of light.

define non metal

 a chemical element that lacks the characteristics of a metal

define metalloid

a chemical element that forms a simple substance having properties intermediate between those of a typical metal and a typical nonmetal. 

how many metalloids are there?

6

list the metalloids

boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony and tellurium

how are metals and non metal elements different?

* Metals are solids at room temperature (except for mercury)
* metals are very hard (except for sodium) - non metals are soft (except for diamond)
* Metals are malleable and ductile - Non metals are brittle and can break down into pieces
* metals are shiny - non metals are non lustrous (except iodine)
* Metals are electropositive in nature - Non metals are electronegative in nature
* metals have high densities - non metals have low densities

Is this formula balanced?

 C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

Yes

is this formula balanced?

HCl + CaCO₃ → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

If not, balance the equation

No

2HCl + CaCO₃ → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Why is it important to balance equations

Balanced equations follow the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Balancing equations ensures that the number of atoms of each element remains the same on both sides, indicating a balanced reaction. This helps scientists determine the quantity of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.

What do compounds exist as?

Molecules

what is the difference between physical and chemical changes

Physical changes involve altering the state or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical composition. Chemical changes result in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties.

Give an example of a chemical change

An example of a chemical change is the rusting of iron, where iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form iron oxide.

Give an example of a physical change

An example of a physical change is the melting of ice into water.

What are the indicators of a chemical change?

* Colour Change.
* Production of an odour.
* Change of Temperature.
* Evolution of a gas
* Precipitate (formation of a solid)
