Chemistry Periodic Table Quiz
In the current periodic table, elements are arranged according to
atomic number
As the elements of Group 1 on the Periodic Table are considered in order of increasing atomic radius, the ionization energy of each successive element generally
decreases
alkaline earth metals are
denser and stronger than alkali metals
Endothermic
energy is absorbed as a reactant A + e- + energy ➡️ A-
The amount of energy required to remove the outermost electron from a gaseous atom in the ground state is known as
first ionization energy
Anions (-)
gained electrons Larger bc they are gaining electrons *The smaller the atom the much harder it is to lose an ion*
Properties of metals
good conductors of heat and electricity Malleable (easy to mold) Ductile High tensile strength Luster
atomic radius
half the distance between two nuclei of a diatomic molecule Why larger going down? -Higher energy levels have larger orbitals -Shielding-core: e- block the attraction between the nucleus and the valence e- Why smaller to the right? -Increased nuclear charge w/o additional shielding pulls e- in tighter
properties of metalloids
have properties of both metals and nonmetals B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po
Which properties are most common in nonmetals?
high ionization energy and high electronegativity
As each successive element in Group 15 of the Periodic Table is considered in order of increasing atomic number, the atomic radius
increases
