Order the following elements by increasing atomic radius: Lithium (Li), Sodium (Na), Cesium (Cs)
1️⃣ Lithium (Li)
2️⃣ Sodium (Na)
3️⃣ Cesium (Cs)
Ionization energy decreases down a
group
.
True
Electron affinity increases across a period from left to right.
True
Match the group name with its properties:
Alkali Metals ↔️ Highly reactive, form +1 ions
Halogens ↔️ Highly reactive nonmetals, form -1 ions
Noble Gases ↔️ Inert gases, stable due to full valence shells
Atomic radius decreases across a period due to increased nuclear
charge
What is the Periodic Table arranged by?
Atomic number and chemical properties
The periods in the Periodic Table are arranged in horizontal
rows
Elements in the same
group
have similar chemical properties
True
The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged by increasing
atomic
number.
What happens to the properties of elements as you move from left to right across a period?
They change gradually
Electron affinity decreases as you move down a
group
.
Electron affinity increases across a period due to increasing
nuclear charge
True
The Periodic Table is organized by atomic
number
The Periodic Table is structured into Periods and
Groups
Elements in the same group have similar
chemical
properties.
True
How are periods and groups numbered in the Periodic Table?
1 to 7, 1 to 18
What is the fundamental tool in chemistry that organizes elements by atomic number and chemical properties?
The Periodic Table
Match the numbering of the Periodic Table with its feature:
Periods ↔️ Numbered 1 to 7
Groups ↔️ Numbered 1 to 18 (IUPAC)
Atomic radius increases from left to right across a period
False
As you move down a group, the atomic radius
increases
What happens to atomic radius as you move across a period from left to right?
It decreases
What is ionization energy defined as?
Energy to remove an electron
Ionization energy decreases as you move down a
group
.
Ionization energy increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge
True
What is electron affinity defined as?
Energy released when an atom gains an electron
Elements in the Periodic Table are arranged by increasing atomic number and grouped by similar
chemical properties
.
True
What information does the position of an element in the Periodic Table provide about its properties?
Reactivity, melting point
Ionization energy increases across a period due to increasing nuclear
charge
What is electron affinity a measure of?
Ability to gain electrons
Electron affinity decreases down a group because outermost electrons are farther from the
nucleus
Elements in the same period have the same number of
electron shells
.
True
Ionization energy increases across a period.
True
Order the elements in Period 3 from Sodium (Na) to Argon (Ar) by increasing electron affinity:
1️⃣ Sodium (Na)
2️⃣ Magnesium (Mg)
3️⃣ Aluminum (Al)
4️⃣ Silicon (Si)
5️⃣ Phosphorus (P)
6️⃣ Sulfur (S)
7️⃣ Chlorine (Cl)
Metals are shiny,
malleable
, and ductile.
True
Metals are good conductors of heat and
electricity
The Periodic Table organizes elements by increasing
atomic number
.
True
The position of an element in the Periodic Table provides information about its reactivity and
properties
Match the feature of the Periodic Table with its description:
Periods ↔️ Horizontal rows
Groups ↔️ Vertical columns
Periods in the Periodic Table are numbered from 1 to
7
Atomic radius increases across a period from left to right.
