Periodic Table

Question 1

alkali metals

Answer 1

Group 1. density lower than most other metals. 1 loosely bound electron. Zeff low, largest atomic radii of all elements in their periods. low IE, low EA, low e neg

Question 2

alkaline earth emtals

Answer 2

group 2. slightler smaller atomic radi

Question 3

group 16 (VIA),

Answer 3

6 electrons in valence. small atomic radii, large ionic radii.

Question 4

halogens

Answer 4

highly reactive nonmentals (Group VIIA) usually found as ions or diatomic molecules

Question 5

noble gases

Answer 5

VIIIA, inert gases. H Ne Ar have no measureably electronegativities

Question 6

transition metals

Answer 6

low electron affinities, low ionization energies, low electronegativities. oxidaiton states: losing different numbers of electrons from s and d orbitals in valence shells.
