Front

What group does the element with the highest reactivity belong to?

Back

Group 1: Alkali metals

Front

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

Back

They have the same number of valence electrons.

Front

What is the electron configuration of a Noble Gas?

Back

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ (for Neon, for example)

Front

Which group in the periodic table has the smallest atomic radius?

Back

Noble Gases

Front

Which family of elements has electrons filling orbitals in the s-block?

Back

Alkaline Earth Metals

Front

What are valence electrons?

Back

Electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that determine its chemical properties.

Front

What is the significance of the periodic table groups?

Back

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

Front

What is the general trend of atomic radius across a period?

Back

Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period.

Front

What is the general trend of ionization energy down a group?

Back

Ionization energy decreases as you move down a group.

Front

What are Noble Gases known for?

Back

They are inert and do not readily react with other elements.
