[Recording System - Estoppel by deed]
What is estoppel by deed? 80 |
A person who sells a property, without actually owning it first, but who later acquires the property -- the original sale is treated as being valid
BUT, a person who later is a BFP of the property acquires on date of record (in record-notice jur) |
|
the periodic law
|
the chemical and physical properties of elements follow a repeating pattern based on the atomic number
|
|
period
|
a horizontal row of elements in the period table; chemical and physical properties follow a repeating pattern as you move across the row
|
|
group
|
a vertical column of elements on the periodic table; elements in a group share chemical properties; also called a family
|
|
Alkali Metals
|
an element in group one of the period table
|
|
alkaline earth metals
|
an element in group two of the periodic table;
|
|
halogen
|
elements in group 17 of the periodic table; they combine with most metals to form salts
|
|
noble gas
|
one of the elements of group 18 of the periodic table; noble gasses are unreactive
|
|
ion
|
a charged particle that has a different number of electrons than protons
|
|
DAD Tries to Rob Big Schools and Houses Constantly
|
Democritus, Aristotle, Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr, Schroedinger & Heisenberg; Chadwick
|
|
Democritis
|
Atoms not divisible
|
|
Aristotle
|
Disagreed with Democritus; believed elements made up of earth air fire and water
|
|
Dalton
|
Did experiments that led to acceptance of atoms; Billiard Ball model; created the laws
|
|
Thomson
|
Plum Pudding Model; thought electrons were spread through atom evenly
|
|
Rutherford
|
Gold foil experiments; discovered the nucleus
|
|
Bohr
|
Electrons move on paths, like a ladder, but not between paths. He was wrong
|
|
Schroedinger & Heisenberg
|
electron clouds around the nucleus where electrons are likely to be found
|
|
Chadwick
|
Discovered neutrons
|
|
How did Mosely improve the periodic table?
|
He arranged it in order of increasing atomic number.
|
|
What are the four forces in an atom?
|
strong force-
weak force- gravitational force; electromagnetic force |
|
What is strong force?
|
keeps protons together in the nucleus
|
|
What is gravitational force?
|
Pulls objects toward one another; the gravitational force within atoms is very small
|
|
What is weak force?
|
changes neutrons in certain unstable atoms into protons or electrons
|
|
What is electromagnetic force?
|
the force which causes particles with the same charge to repel each other and opposite charges to attract each other
|
|
What is the definition of periodic?
|
something that happens at regular intervals and is repeating
|
|
what information can the periodic table tell you?
|
It tells you the elements, chemical symbols, atomic number, atomic mass, type of element, physical state at room temperature.
|
|
What is a period on the periodic table?
|
A row of an element
|
|
What is a group on the periodic table?
|
a column of an element; also called a family
|
|
What is the relationship between elements in a group (the same column)?
|
They often have similar physical and chemical properties
|
|
How can you tell the number of electrons in the outer shell of an element?
|
the group number
|
|
Which group numbers have an uncertain number of electrons?
|
group 3 through 12
|
|
How do you tell the number of electrons in groups 13 through 18?
|
by the last digit of the group number
|
|
What is the exception to the group number rule?
|
Helium -- it has only two electrons in the outer shell even though it's in row 18
|
|
What element is in a group by itself and why?
|
Hydrogen -- because it doesn't match any of the properties of the other group.
|
|
What are the three categories on the periodic table and where are they located?
|
Metals - left of zig zag except H
Metalloids -- touching zig zag not Al Non Metals -- right of zigzag except H |
|
Alkali Metals
|
Group 1, 1 electron in outer shell
very soft, react violently with water so reactive always combined with other elements; stored in oil |
|
Alkaline Earth Metals
|
Group 2, 2 electrons in outer shell
very reactive but less than group one |
|
Transition Metals
|
Group 3 to 12
one or two electrons in outershell |
|
Lanthanides and Actinides
|
Bottom of chart

|
Which elements on the periodic table are manmade? What is their group name?
|
elements 95 to 103
actinides |
|
Boron Group
|
Group 13: 3 electrons in outer shell
they are fairly reactive/solids |
|
What is the most common element in the Boron Group ?
|
aluminum
|
|
The Carbon Group
|
Group 14: 4 electrons in outer shell
reactivity depends on what it's mixed with/solids |
|
nitrogen group
|
group 15-5 outer electrons
solid except for nitrogen, a gas reactivity |
|
oxygen group
|
group 16 - 6 outer electrons
oxygen gas, others solids reactive |
|
halogens
|
group 17 - 7 outer electrons
very reactive; bonds with elements in group one to form salt, never found uncombined in nature |
|
What two groups like to bond? And what do they form?
|
Group 1 and Group 17 to form salts
|
|
Noble gases
|
Group 18 - 8 outer electrons
non reactive and gases at room temperature |
|
Why are noble gases unreactive?
|
Because they have a full set of electrons; 8 is stable
