Question 0

Going left to right in a period, atoms become…

Answer 0

Smaller due to increased number of electrons and protons, causes greater nuclear pull towards center.

(Think about each period as a certain energy level, somewhat “restarts” with each new energy level)

Question 1

Going down a group makes atoms become…

Answer 1

Larger (think electron configuration and how it gets bigger, more energy levels)

-due to internal electron shielding

Question 2

Going down a group, atoms become

Growing down a period, atoms become

Answer 2

Larger (greater electron config, more energy levels)

Smaller (more protons and neutrons, larger internal pull)

Question 3

Atomic size:

Answer 3

2 like atoms forced to make a COVALENT BOND, then take the distance between the 2 and cut it in half, than you have the COVALENT RADIUS

Question 4

The greater the nuclear pull, the more energy needed to…

Answer 4

Remove the first electron (greater ionization energy)

Question 5

As we go down a group, the ionization energy required…

Answer 5

Goes down (decreases, easier to remove electron)
