Groups of the Periodic Table
This group of the periodic table does not react with any other elements and has the element helium in the group.
What are noble gases?
This property describes the shininess of metals.
What is luster?
This trend describes the size of the atom and increases down groups and from right to left across periods.
Which of the following elements has the largest atomic radius? Sulfur, Niobium, Gallium, and Iron
What is Niobium?
The columns of the periodic table are called groups and this other name.
What are families?
This group of the periodic table has elements that are so reactive they explode in water and it include the element sodium.
What are the alkali metals?
Unlike metals, nonmetals are not used in cookware because of this property.
What is low melting or boiling point?
The energy required to remove a valence electron from the outside energy level of an atom. This trend increases going up a group and from left to right across the periodic table.
What is ionization energy?
This element has the highest electronegativity of all elements.
What is fluorine?
This man is known as the father of the periodic table of the elements.
Who is Dimitri Mendeleev?
This group consists of elements such as gold and silver and is considered the "precious metals" group.
What are the transition metals?
This type of element exhibits properties of both metals and nonmetals.
What are the metalloids?
These two trends do not exist for the noble gases.
What is reactivity and electronegativity?
Which of the following elements requires the most energy to remove a valence electron? Fluorine, Helium, Francium, and Carbon
What is Helium?
This specific type of subatomic particle is located on the very outside energy level of each atom and changes in number depending on which group the element is in.
What are valence electrons?
This group is made of only nonmetals and is so reactive that if they can't bond with other elements they will bond with themselves. This group has iodine in it.
What are the halogens?
This property is exhibited by many metals and is the able to be hammered flat.
What is malleability?
What is electronegativity?
Which of the following is the most reactive nonmetals?Neon, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Chlorine
What is Chlorine?
All of the noble gases have 8 valence electrons except one. Name the noble gas that doesn't have 8 valence electrons and state how many valence electrons this element does have.
What is Helium and it has 2 valence electrons.
This group of the periodic table has the elements Uranium and Americium in it and is known as the radioactive elements.
Metals are capable of being pulled into thin wires because of this property.
What is ductility?
This trend is actually two trends that describes how metals and seperately nonmentals form bonds.
What is reactivity?
Which of the following metals is the least reactive? Potassium, Lithium, Sodium, and Rubidium
What is lithium?
This process is where the electrons at lower energy levels push the electrons at higher energy levels away from the nulceus and is one of the reasons why the atomic radius increases going down a column.
What is electron shieding?
