Why are elements at the bottom of the PT larger than those at the top?
They have more orbitals
They have more valence electrons
They have more charge
They have a weaker attraction
Why are elements at the top of the PT have higher electronegativity than those at the bottom?
They have fewer orbitals, this makes them smaller and since electrons are closer to the nucleus there will be a stronger ability to attract electrons
They have fewer valence electrons
They have more orbitals, this makes them larger and since electrons are further from the nucleus there will be a stronger ability to attract electrons
Why are elements at the top of the PT have higher ionization energy than those at the bottom?
They have fewer orbitals, this makes them smaller and since electrons are closer to the nucleus the attraction is stronger which makes it more difficult to remove
They have fewer valence electrons
They have more orbitals, this makes them larger and since electrons are further from the nucleus the attraction is weaker which make it easier to remove
Why are elements at the left of the PT larger than those at right?
They have fewer orbitals
They have more valence electrons
Their electrons have a stronger attraction because there's more charge
Their electrons have a weaker attraction because there's less charge
Why are elements at the right of the PT have more electronegativity than those at left?
They have fewer orbitals
They have more charge which gives them a stronger attraction for electrons. (Non-metals form anions)
The have less valence electrons
They have less charge which gives them a stronger attraction. (Metals form cations)
Why are elements at the right of the PT have higher ionization energy than those at left?
They have more orbitals
Since they are much larger its difficult to find their valence electrons
They have more charge and are closer to completing the octet rule which is difficult to remove electrons
They have less charge and its very easy to remove electrons from metals
What is the difference between ionization energy and electronegativity?
Ionization energy is the ability to attract a valence electron while, electronegativity is the energy needed to remove a valence electron.
Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove a valence electron while, electronegativity is the ability to attract a valence electron.
Ionization energy is the level of attraction between electrons and the nucleus while, electronegativity is the sharing of pairs of electrons.
What is the difference between electronegativity and atomic radius?
electronegativity is the level of attraction between electrons and the nucleus while, atomic radius is the energy needed to remove electrons.
electronegativity is the energy needed to remove electrons while, atomic radius is the level of attraction between electrons and the nucleus.
electronegativity is the level of attraction between electrons and the nucleus while, atomic radius is the size of the atom
Beryllium (Be) has an atomic number of 4 & Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12. They have very similar chemical properties and will behave the same in a chemical reaction. How should they be placed on the periodic table?
They should be placed in the same group with Mg on the top and Be below.
They should be placed in the same group with Be on the top and Mg below.
They should be placed in the same period with Mg on the left and Be on the right.
They should be placed in the same period with Be on the left and Mg right.
Which are most reactive families on the periodic table.
Alkali metals & Transition Metals
Noble gases & Oxygen Family
Halogens & Alkali metals
Halogens & Noble gases
What is it about group 1 and group 17 elements that make them so reactive?
They have more orbitals than the rest of the elements
They have less charge than the rest of the elements
They are the two families that are closest to completing the octet rule
They have more charge than the rest of the elements
As you move down a group, atomic radius increases because...
you add more and more valence electrons
you add more and more protons
you add more and more orbitals
you add more and more charge

F
D
C
E
Which element has 3 valence electrons?
A
B
E
C
