Periodic Table

Question 1

How is the Periodic Table arranged?

Answer 1

By increasing atomic number (protons)

The arrangement allows for the classification of elements based on their properties.

Question 2

What are groups in the Periodic Table?

Answer 2

Columns that indicate similar properties

Elements in the same group often have similar chemical behaviors.

Question 3

What are periods in the Periodic Table?

Answer 3

Rows that indicate the number of shells

The period number corresponds to the number of electron shells an atom has.

Question 4

Where are metals located in the Periodic Table?

Answer 4

On the left side

Metals typically exhibit properties such as malleability and conductivity.

Question 5

Where are non-metals located in the Periodic Table?

Answer 5

On the right side

Non-metals have varied properties and are generally poor conductors.

Question 6

What is Group 1 in the Periodic Table?

Answer 6

Alkali Metals, which are highly reactive

Alkali metals react vigorously with water.

Question 7

What do alkali metals form when they react with water?

Answer 7

Metal Hydroxide and Hydrogen Gas

This reaction can be explosive, especially with heavier alkali metals.

Question 8

What is Group 7 in the Periodic Table?

Answer 8

Halogens, which have reactivity that decreases down the group

Halogens are known for forming diatomic molecules like Cl2 and Br2.

Question 9

What do halogens form when they react with metals?

Answer 9

Salts

This is a common characteristic of halogen reactions with metals.

Question 10

What is Group 0 in the Periodic Table?

Answer 10

Noble Gases, which are unreactive due to having a full outer shell

Noble gases are known for their lack of reactivity and are used in lighting and other applications.
