Arrangement of Elements and Periodic Trends

Which of the following are the three major groups of elements in the periodic table?

• Metals, non-metals, metalloids

• Metals, conductors, metalloids

• metals, conductors, insulators

• Non-metals, conductors, insulators

This exhibit both properties of metals and non-metals

• Electronegativity

• Electron Affinity

• Metalloids

• Metals

They are malleable, ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity, solid at room temperature, and they have a high luster.

• Metalloids

• Metals

• Non-metals

• Elements

They are brittle, not ductile, a poor conductor of heat and electricity and they have low luster.

• Metals

• Non-metals

• Metalloids

• Atoms

Specific patterns that are present in the periodic table that illustrate different aspects of a certain element.

• Periodic table

• Group

• Period

• Periodic trends

Trends that measure the tendency of an atom to attract an electron.

• Ionization energy

• Metallic property

• Electron affinity

• Electronegativity

The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom in its gaseous phase.

• Electronegativity

• Ionization energy

• Atomic radius

• Metallic propert

The ability of an atom to accept an electron.

• Electronegativity

• Ionization energy

• Electron affinity

• Atomic radius

This is one-half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms.

• Electronegativity

• Electron affinity

• Ionization energy

• Atomic radius

It refers to the level of reactivity of a metal since metals tend to lose electrons when bonding or reacting with another atom.

• Metallic property

• Atomic radius

• Electronegativity

• Ionization energy
