100

Which element would be likely to have an ion that produces a solution with a bright color?

Ca  Cu  Br

Cu

Transition metals often have ions that produce colorful solutions.

200

What is the trend in atomic structure as you move down a group?

There is an increase in the number of PELs and shielding as you move down a group.

200

What is the total number of electrons in a magnesium ion?

10 electrons

200

Which element will have the smallest radius?

C   N   O   F

F will have the smallest radius.

200

What are two forms of an element with different molecular structures called?

Allotropes

300

What is the oxidation number for the metal in an oxide with the formula MO2?

+4

300

What is the Noble Gas that has the same configuration as the bromine ion?

Kr

Krypton

300

Which has the most metallic character?

C    N   O   F

Carbon, C

300

Kr

Nonmetal

300
Compare the atomic radius and the nonmetallic character of P and Cl.

P has a larger radius and less nonmetallic character.

400

Which of the following is an unreactive element?

P  S   Cl   Ar

Ar

Group 18- Noble Gases- Unreactive

400

What is the Noble Gas that has the same electron configuration as the potassium (K) ion?

Ar

400

How do the atomic radius and ionization energy of Li compare to the atomic radius and ionization energy  of N?

Li has a larger radius and lower ionization energy than N.

400

Co

Metal

400

What class of element exhibits both metallic and nonmetallic properties?

The metalloids

500

What is the trend in atomic structure across a period?

The number of protons increases (nuclear charge) which increases the nuclear attraction for electrons

(the number of energy levels (PELs) stays the same)

500

Is the the oxygen ion larger or smaller than an atom of oxygen?

Larger!  

The ion is  O-2 and adding electrons causes the radius expand.

500

Which is the most active nonmetal?

P   S   Cl   Ar

Cl, chlorine

500

C

Nonmetal
