periodic table

Question 1

How is the periodic table arranged?

Answer 1

in order of increasing atomic number

Question 2

What do groups have in common?

Answer 2

similar chemical properties due to same number of valence electrons

Question 3

What is Ionization energy?

Answer 3

the energy it takes to remove an electron from a gaseous atom

Question 4

What is the measure of an atoms attraction for electrons?

Answer 4

electronegativity

Question 5

What type of element (metal or nonmetal) have low ionization energies and electronegativities?

Answer 5

metals

Question 6

Do nonmetals have high or low ionization energies and electronegativities?

Answer 6

high ionization energies and electronegativities

Question 7

Metals like to form positive or negative ions?

Answer 7

positive ions

Question 8

What type of element (metal or nonmetal) like to form negative ions?

Answer 8

nonmetals

Question 9

Are metals shiny or dull? Malleable or brittle?

Answer 9

metals are shiny and malleable

Question 10

What type of element (metal or nonmetal) is dull and brittle?

Answer 10

nonmetal

Question 11

Where are the most metallic elements?

Answer 11

bottom left of periodic table

Question 12

Where are the most nonmetallic elements?

Answer 12

top right of the periodic table

Question 13

Name the 6 metalloids

Answer 13

B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Te

Question 14

What happens to size as you go down a group? Why?

Answer 14

larger due to more shells/principal energy levels

Question 15

What happens to ionization energy and electronegativity as you go down a group? Why?

Answer 15

ionization energy and electronegativity decrease due to larger size

Question 16

What happens to ionization energy and electronegativity as you go across a period? Why?

Answer 16

ionization energy and electronegativity generally decrease due to smaller size

Question 17

Discuss metals regarding gain or loss of electrons, positive or negative ions, and ionic radius.

Answer 17

Metals lose electrons and form smaller positive ions

Question 18

Discuss nonmetals regarding gain or loss of electrons, positive or negative ions, and ionic radius.

Answer 18

Nonmetals gain electrons and form larger negative ions
