Where are Metalloids located on the Periodic Table?
Metalloids are located on the Right Side of the Periodic Table along the Staircase. They separate Metals and Nonmetals.
300
Where is the f Block located on the Periodic Table?
Bottom
300
Where is Principal Energy Shell (PES) 4 located in relation to the Nucleus and how much Energy does it contain?
PES 4 is located furthest away from the Nucleus and has the most Energy.
300
Why must you determine the Outermost Subshell (OSS) prior to writing the Electron Configuration of an Element?
You must determine the OSS in order to know where the Electron Configuration ends.
300

B). 5
C). Metal
D). Transition Metals
400
How do you determine the number of a Subshell in the s Block?
#Subshell = Period#
400
Name the Subshells in Principal Energy Shell (PES) 2.
2s, 2p
400

400
For the Element Lead, determine:
A). A Group#
B). Period#
C). #Valence Electrons
D). Metal, Nonmetal, or Metalloid
E). Family Name
A). 4A
B). 6
C). 4
D). Metal
E). Tetrels
500
How do you determine the number of a Subshell in the f Block?
#Subshell in f Block = Period# - 2
500
How many Orbitals does each d Subshell contain?
5 Orbitals
500
Explain the Aufbau Principle (AP).
AP states that Electrons must enter the Orbitals in the lowest Principal Energy Shells first. This prevents Electron-Electron repulsion, resulting in lower Energy, and a more stable Atom.
