The periodic table is arranged by increasing
atomic number
.
True
Match the purpose with the organization of the periodic table:
Classify elements by properties ↔️ Increasing atomic number
Predict element behavior ↔️ Groups with similar properties
How are elements arranged in the periodic table?
By atomic number
Ionization energy decreases down a group because outermost electrons are closer to the nucleus.
False
Who developed the periodic table in 1869?
Dmitri Mendeleev
Arrange the following groups in order of their increasing reactivity:
1️⃣ Group 18 (Noble Gases)
2️⃣ Group 17 (Halogens)
3️⃣ Group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals)
4️⃣ Group 1 (Alkali Metals)
What is the general characteristic of Group 1 elements?
Highly reactive metals
What are groups in the periodic table?
Vertical columns
What do elements in the same period share?
Similar electronic configurations
Arrange the trends in atomic properties across a period from left to right:
1️⃣ Atomic radius decreases
2️⃣ Ionization energy increases
3️⃣ Electronegativity increases
What is the key purpose of the periodic table?
Understanding chemical relationships
Match the group with its characteristic:
Group 1 ↔️ Highly reactive metals
Group 2 ↔️ Reactive metals
Group 17 ↔️ Reactive nonmetals
Group 18 ↔️ Inert gases
Groups in the periodic table are numbered from 1 to
18
Periods in the periodic table correspond to different energy levels of
electrons
Ionization energy increases across a period due to higher effective
nuclear charge
Match the property with its trend in the periodic table:
Atomic Radius ↔️ Decreases across a period
Ionization Energy ↔️ Increases across a period
Electronegativity ↔️ Decreases down a group
Which property of metals allows them to be drawn into wires?
Ductility
The p subshell can hold a maximum of 6
electrons
.
True
Who developed the periodic table in 1869?
Dmitri Mendeleev
Periods in the periodic table are horizontal
rows
The periodic table is essential for understanding the behavior of matter at the
atomic level
.
True
Each period corresponds to a different
energy level
of electrons.
True
Which element has a larger atomic radius: Sodium (Na) or Chlorine (Cl)?
Sodium (Na)
The periodic table is arranged by increasing
atomic number
Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.
True
Noble gases in Group 18 do not typically react due to their stable
electron configuration
.
True
Ionization energy decreases down a group due to the outermost electrons being further from the
nucleus
.
True
Metals are
malleable
, meaning they can be hammered into thin sheets without breaking.
True
How many electrons can the first electron shell hold?
2
Which group of elements reacts vigorously with water?
Alkali Metals
How does atomic radius change across a period from left to right?
Decreases
Which element has a larger atomic radius: Sodium (Na) or Chlorine (Cl)?
Sodium (Na)
Metals have a shiny, lustrous appearance, while non-metals are typically
dull
Electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons within an atom's electron
shells
Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of
valence electrons
