8

What is the group/family name for column 1 (1A) of the periodic table?

alkali metals

Which atom would require more energy to remove a valence electron, lithium or cesium?

lithium

How many valence electrons does an oxygen atom have?

6

How many energy levels does an aluminum atom have?

3

Which atom would require more energy to remove a valence electron, sodium or sulfur?

sulfur

What are the horizontal rows of the Periodic Table called?

period(s)

What are valence electrons?

electrons in the outermost energy level/shell

Ionization energy (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Ionization energy DECREASES as you move down a group/family and INCREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

Atomic radius (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Atomic radius INCREASES as you move down a group/family and DECREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

What does the group/family that an element is in tell you about its atomic structure?

the number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost energy level/shell)

The periodic trend that describes the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom is ...

electron affinity

atomic radius

electronegativity

ionization energy

How many valence electrons does a magnesium atom have?

2

Electron affinity (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Electron affinity DECREASES as you move down a group/family and INCREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

What does the period that an element is in tell you about its atomic structure?

the number of energy levels

What element is the most electronegative element on the Periodic Table of Elements?

fluorine

What is the group/family name for column 2 (2A) of the periodic table?

alkaline earth metals

The periodic trend that describes the amount of energy released when an atom gains an electron is ...

atomic size

electron affinity

electronegativity

ionization energy

Nonmetals tend to (gain or lose) electrons to obtain a full set of valence electrons and become stable.

gain

Electronegativity (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Electronegativity DECREASES as you move down a group/family and INCREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

Which atom is larger, potassium or bromine?

potassium

The periodic trend that describes the relative size of the atom is ...

electronegativity

electron affinity

atomic radius

ionization energy

What are the vertical columns of the Periodic Table called?

group(s)/ family(families)

Nonmetals are located on the (left or right) side of the periodic table?

right

Why do electronegativity and ionization energy increase as you move across a period from left to right?

the increasing number of protons causes a greater electromagnetic attraction between the protons & electrons, making it more difficult to remove electrons

Which element is more electronegative nitrogen or bromine?

nitrogen (remember when elements are equidistant from fluorine the one with less energy levels is more electronegative)

Why does the atomic size decrease as you move across a period from left to right?

the increasing number of protons causes a greater electromagnetic attraction between the protons & electrons, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus

Which element is larger magnesium or calcium? why?

calcium because it has more energy levels
