ASSESSMENT Trends in the Periodic Table

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

Front

Which element has a lower ionization energy than Scandium (Sc)?

Back

Calcium (Ca) has a lower ionization energy than Scandium.

Front

What property is measured by the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell?

Back

Atomic Radius is the distance from the nucleus to the outermost electron shell.

Front

Which element has a larger atomic radius than Zinc?

Back

Strontium has a larger atomic radius than Zinc.

Front

What happens to atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic radius increases as you move down a group due to the addition of more shells (energy levels).

Front

Which element has the largest atomic radius in Period 4?

Back

Potassium (K) has the largest atomic radius in Period 4.

Front

What is the trend of ionization energy across a period?

Back

Ionization energy generally increases across a period from left to right.

Front

What is the trend of atomic radius down a group?

Back

Atomic radius increases down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

Define electronegativity.

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

Which element is more electronegative: Fluorine (F) or Lithium (Li)?

Back

Fluorine (F) is more electronegative than Lithium (Li).
