Periodic Trends

Question 1

Metals and

Answer 1

Non-metals

Question 2

Valence electrons

Answer 2

electrons on the outermost orbital (group 1a = 1e, group 2a = 2e

Question 3

Valence electron placement

Answer 3

S, P, D, and F

Question 4

Atomic Radius

Answer 4

size/ measure of how big an atom is across or up and down a periodic table

Question 5

Ionization Energy

Answer 5

energy needed to remove an electron

Question 6

Electronegativity

Answer 6

the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons

Question 7

Atomic Radius Trend

Answer 7

as you go across a period the size decreases, and as you go down a group size increases

Question 8

Ionization Energy Trend

Answer 8

as you go across a period it becomes harder to take away an electron (energy increases), and as you go down a group it becomes easier to take away an electron (energy decreases)

Question 9

Electronegativity Trend

Answer 9

as you go across a period electronegativity energy increases, and as you go down a group electronegativity enegy decreases
