columns= groups
Group 18 name
The Noble Gases
How many electrons does an atom want in its valence shell to become stable? (Octet rule)
All elements want to get to 8 valence electrons to become stable.
Define electronegativity
The ability of an atom to attract an electron
Define Atomic Radius.
The size of an atom
The distance from the center of the atom to the outermost ring.
What is the name of the family with 7 valence electron?
The Halogen Family
What is the name of the family that has 1 valence electron?
Alkali metals
What is the most reactive metal?
Francium
Which atom is larger S or Po?
WHY?
Po because it has more electron shells
Across a period (left to right) electronegativity ________ (inc/dec)
Down a group electronegativity _________ (inc/dec)
Across a period electronegativity INCREASES
Down a group electronegativity DECREASES
The Periodic Table is organized based on one number. What is this number?
Atomic Number
Group 2 name
The Alkaline Earth Metals
Which GROUP of metals is the most reactive?
group 1- alkali metals
Which element has the higher Electronegativity?
WHY?
Sr or Te
Te, because it is a smaller atom meaning its electrons are close to the nucleus and tightly held onto.
