Chapter 6 Exam

Front

As you move across the periodic table, what happens to the ionization energy (I.E)?

Back

The ionization energy increases.

Front

What is the size comparison between anions and the neutral atoms from which they are made?

Back

Anions are always larger than the neutral atom.

Front

What do we call the d block elements in the periodic table?

Back

Transition metals.

Front

What are some common properties of metals?

Back

Metals are typically good conductors of heat and electricity, malleable, ductile, and have a shiny appearance.

Front

What is the size comparison between cations and the neutral atoms from which they are made?

Back

Cations are always smaller than the neutral atom.

Front

Define ionization energy.

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion.

Front

What trend in ionization energy is observed as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Ionization energy decreases as you move down a group.

Front

What is the general trend in atomic size as you move across a period in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic size decreases as you move across a period.

Front

What is the difference between anions and cations?

Back

Anions are negatively charged ions formed by gaining electrons, while cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons.

Front

What are the characteristics of transition metals?

Back

Transition metals are characterized by their ability to form variable oxidation states, colored compounds, and the presence of unpaired d electrons.
