What is . . .
symbol Mg with two dots (top and side)
What is . . .
7?
(Hint: Observe its column)
Elements that have a (larger/smaller) radius have a LOWER ionization energy because it is easier to their remove electrons.
What is . . .
larger?
This is how you make a kleenex dance.
What is . . .
you put a little "boogie" in it!
The number of neutrons in an atom of Aluminum with a mass of 27.
What is . . .
14?
(Neutrons = mass - protons)
Draw a Bohr diagram (aka "shell model") for an atom of Boron.
What is . . .
Check each other.
Nucleus shows P=5 N=6
First ring has 2 dots. Second ring has 3 dots.
This is the number of electron rings in an atom of strontium.
What is . . .
5?
(Hint: Look at its row number)
Non-metals are more reactive when they have (higher/lower) electronegativity.
What is . . .
higher?
This is a skeleton's favorite instrument.
What is . . .
a trom-BONE!
These TWO subatomic particles are found in the nucleus of an atom
What are . . .
protons and neutrons?
This is what type of ion the alkali metals (group 1A) are likely to form.
What is . . .
+1 ions?
This is the orbital (number and letter) that would contain the valence electrons for chlorine.
What is . . .
3p?
Metals that have a (higher/lower) ionization energy are more reactive.
What is . . .
lower?
This is why the ghost needed a band-aid.
What is . . .
because he had a "boo-boo"
The amount of this thing is the same in all of the isotopes carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14.
What is . . .
the number of protons?
(Isotopes have the same protons but different neutrons)
This is the full electron configuration for chromium (Cr) #24.
What is . . .
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d4
This is the noble gas electron configuration for copper.
What is . . .
[Ar] 4s2 3d9?
Of the elements listed below, this would have the greatest electronegativity:
Sr Ga O P B Kr
What is . . .
O?
This is why the vampire would not attack Taylor Swift.
What is . . .
because she had "bad blood."
A neutral atom becomes an ion by doing this.
What is . . .
gaining or losing electrons?
Challenge: This is a drawing of how a Lewis structure of lithium and a Lewis structure of fluorine become ions to form a compound.
What is . . .
Check each other. Show Li with one dot moving to the empty space on F that has 7 dots.
When Li gives an electron it becomes +1. When F gains, it becomes -1. Opposites attract.)
Argon has a stable electron configuration. This is how you would write potassium as an ion that has the same electron configuration as an atom of argon.
Hint: K___?
What is . . .
K+1?
Ba Al Fe
What is . . .
Barium because it easily gives away electrons because (reference one of these:)
- it has the lowest ionization energy
- it has the biggest radius
- it has the fewest valence electrons.
This is why Casper doesn't make a very good friend.
What is . . .
because he will ghost you.
