100
Does K or K2- have a larger radius?
K2-
100
The energy required to take away electrons.
What is ionization energy?
100
This group is not at all likely to react with any elements, because they already have a full shell of electrons.
Group 8
100
What family's characteristics are generally non-reactive, with low melting & boiling points?
Noble Gases
100
What is the least reactive group?
Group 8
200
Does Li or Be have a larger ionization energy?
Be
200
The energy released when adding an electron to an atom
What is electron affinity?
200
How likely is Na (element 11) to react with another element?
Very likely, because it's a group 1 element, with only 1 valence electron to get rid of.
200
What family of elements are soft metals, with a charge of +1, and highly reactive?
Alkali Metals
200
Is group 1 more likely to lose or gain electrons?
Lose
300
Does He or Fr have a larger electronegativity?
He
300
The ability of atoms in a molecule to attract electrons to themselves
What is electronegativity?
300
Is element 16 or 13 more likely to conduct heat?

400
An atom with a negative charge.
What is an anion?
400
What is the charge of ions formed by alkali earth metals?
