Periodic Table Trends Test

Front

As you move down a group in the periodic table, what happens to the atomic radius?

Back

The atomic radius increases because you add more and more shells (energy levels).

Front

What does the purple section of the periodic table represent?

Back

The purple section represents the Lanthanide Series.

Front

What is the distance between the nucleus and the outermost shell occupied electron called?

Back

Atomic Radii.

Front

What is a vertical column of blocks in the periodic table called?

Back

A vertical column is called a group.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is how good an atom is at attracting electrons.

Front

What is the definition of ionization energy?

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a specific atom.

Front

What trend is observed in electronegativity as you move across a period from left to right?

Back

Electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period.

Front

What is the relationship between atomic size and ionization energy?

Back

As atomic size increases, ionization energy generally decreases.

Front

What are transition metals?

Back

Transition metals are elements found in groups 3-12 of the periodic table, known for their ability to form variable oxidation states.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in chemistry?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.
