Chapter 6 Exam CP

Front

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

Back

Transition metals

Front

What happens to ionization energy as you move down the periodic table?

Back

It decreases.

Front

How do anions compare in size to their neutral atoms?

Back

Anions are always larger than the neutral atom from which they are made.

Front

How many periods are there in the periodic table?

Back

There are 7 periods.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency for an element to attract electrons.

Front

What are the general properties of transition metals?

Back

Transition metals are typically good conductors of electricity, have high melting and boiling points, and can form various oxidation states.

Front

What is the trend of atomic radius in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic radius generally increases down a group and decreases across a period.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table's groups?

Back

Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties due to having the same number of valence electrons.

Front

What is the definition of ionization energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the trend of electronegativity in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity generally increases across a period and decreases down a group.
