6.2 and 6.3

Question 1

What are the subatomic particles that play a key role in determining the properties of an element

Answer 1

Electrons

Question 2

Why are group A elements called representative elements

Answer 2

They display a wide range of physical and chemical properties, groups 1A-7A

Question 3

Inner transition metals

Answer 3

The elements located in F block

Question 4

Transition metals

Answer 4

The elements located in D block

Question 5

Noble gases

Answer 5

Group 8A

Question 6

Atomic size trends

Answer 6

Increases from top to bottom in a group because the number of energy levels increases, decreases from left to right across a period as the nuclear energy pull increases. Atoms size is an atom’s atomic radius, or one half the distance between two like atoms when they are joined together.

Question 7

Cation

Answer 7

Positively charged, forms when an atom loses one or more electrons

Question 8

Anion

Answer 8

Negatively charged, forms when an atom gains one or more electrons

Question 9

Trends in Ionization energy

Answer 9

Ionization energy is a measure of the amount of energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom. It decreases from top to bottom within a group, and it increases from left to right across a period.

Question 10

Trends in ionic size

Answer 10

Trends are based in the fact that metals tend to lose electrons, and nonmetals tend to gain electrons. A cation is smaller than than the atom that formed it. Anion is larger than the atom that formed it. Ionic size increases from top to bottom and decreases from left to right.

Question 11

Trends in Electronegativity

Answer 11

Measure of an atoms ability to attract an electron when the atom is bonded to another atom. Decrease from top to bottom, increase from left to right

Question 12

Two variables that affect atomic size within a group

Answer 12

Energy levels and nuclear charge

Question 13

Ion and how are they formed

Answer 13

Atom or group of atoms w/ positive or negative charge, form when electrons are transferred between atoms

Question 14

Why does ionization energy decrease from top to bottom within a group

Answer 14

As the electrons get further from the nucleus, the amount of energy needed to remove it decreases, attraction to nucleus is weaker.

Question 15

Non metals have a ____ electronegativity value than metals

Answer 15

Higher

Question 16

True or false: Electronegativity values can help predict the types of bonds atoms form

Answer 16

True
