Final Flashcards
Describe the properties of noble gases. why does every element want to be with them
They are stable and have a full outer shell
The group 1 elements ( except for hydrogen) are also known as the…
Alkali metals
The group 7A elements are known as the
Halogens
Why do elements in the same group have the similar chemical properties
They have the same number of valance electrons
How does the atomic radius change from left to right across a row in the periodic table
The atomic size decreases moving left to right because the protonic pull is increased without changing the shielding effect
What is electronegativity
Electronegativity is the tendency of an Adam to attract electrons when bonded
The vertical columns of the periodic table are called…
Groups or families
The horizontal rows of the periodic table are called…
Periods
On which side of the table are the nonmetals
Right
Largest electronegativities in their periods
Halogens
Have full outer shells
Noble gases
Fluorine is a member of this group
Halogens
These elements have two valance electrons
Alkaline earth metals
Highest ionization energies of their periods
Noble gases
How does the size of a magnesium ion compare to it’s neutral atom
Magnesium forms a +2 ion when it loses electrons. Because of this, the Iion will be smaller in size than the neutral Atom
