Who proposed the Law of Octaves in 1864?

John Newlands

100

What is the name of Group 15 (5A) on the periodic table?

Nitrogen group
100

This is a periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of the elements when they are arranged by increasing atomic number.

The Periodic Law

100

As you go down a group/family, the ionization energy…

Decreases

100

What group on the periodic table ends in ns2np4?

Oxygen group

200

Who compiled a list of known elements including gases, earths, metals, and nonmetals?

Antoine Laviosier

200

What is the name of the two series in the F Block, in order?

Lanthanide series and Actinide series

200

An electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons

Ion

200

Why do anions have larger radii than cations?

Anions gain an electron and the repulsion among electrons increases so they get bigger, cations lose an election and the repulsion among electrons is reduced and the nuclear charge pulls them closer and they get smaller
200

The last period on the periodic table is called?

the superheavy elements

300

What two scientists organized the elements into rows with periodic properties?

Lothar Meyer and Dmitri Mendeleev

300

What is the name of Group 2 (2A) on the periodic table?

alkaline earth metals

300

The energy that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom

Electron Affinity

300

The trend of electronegativity is all based around what element?

Fluorine

300

What group on the periodic table is stored in oil or kerosene to protect from moisture and oxygen in air?

alkali metals

400

DAILY DOUBLE: Who were the only 2 scientists who had elements named after them while they were alive? Where did each one work?

Glenn Seaborg and Yuri Oganessian; Seaborg at UC Berkley and Oganessian at JINR

400

This group on the periodic table gets its name after the Greek word meaning “salt forming”

halogens

400

The energy required to remove a valence electron from an atom

Ionization Energy

400

What are the two types of exceptions in the trend of ionization energy?

s and p block, p3 and p4 configurations

400

What classification of elements are used as phosphors (substances that emit light when struck by an electron/UV light)

Lanthanide series

500

Who determined that there were groups of elements (that he called triads) in which the middle element has properties that were the average of the other two?

Johann Dobereiner

500

What is another name for the D Block elements?

transition metals/elements

500

The reduction of the attractive force between the nucleus and its outer (valence) electrons due to the blocking effect of the inner electrons

Shielding Effect

500

What are the two situations involving electron affinity?

an atom is forced to gain an electron; an atom wants to gain an electron

500

What group of elements gets their name from being classified as solids such as lime and magnesia that didn’t change in fires?

alkaline earth metals
