Periodic Trends Review

Front

What is the trend in atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

The atomic radius increases as you move down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

Which element has the smallest atomic radius among the halogens?

Back

Fluorine (F) has the smallest atomic radius among the halogens.

Front

What is the trend in ionization energy as you move across a period from left to right?

Back

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

Front

Which group of elements has the highest ionization energies?

Back

Noble Gases (Group 18) have the highest ionization energies.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

Which group of elements has the lowest electronegativity?

Back

Alkali Metals (Group 1) have the lowest electronegativity.

Front

What happens to electronegativity as you move across a period?

Back

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

Front

What is the trend in atomic radius as you move across a period?

Back

The atomic radius decreases as you move from left to right across a period.

Front

What do elements in the same group of the periodic table have in common?

Back

Elements in the same group have similar properties and the same number of valence electrons.

Front

What is the relationship between ionization energy and atomic radius?

Back

Generally, as atomic radius decreases, ionization energy increases.
