The family that is made up of all gases at room temperature.
What are the noble gases?
The three periodic trends you should be familiar with.
What are atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity?
This type of chemical bond conducts electricity when dissolved in solution and has a high melting point.
What is an IONIC bond?
This periodic trend follows the same pattern as electronegativity.
What is ionization energy?
The animal that Mr. Castillo got to feed/play with in Kentucky.
What is a Kangaroo?
The family that will contain an element most likely to form a -1 charge if it were to form an ion.
What is the halogens?
The periodic trend for electronegativity as you move across a period and down a column.
What is moving across a period, it increases and as you move down a column, it decreases?
The difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.
What is the unequal sharing compared to equal sharing of electrons?
The families on the periodic table that are good conductors of electricity both on their own as well as when they form ionic bonds.
What are the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals.
The city that Mr. Castillo visited in Kentucky.
What is Cave City, Kentucky.
The families that are made up of metals (or consist of metals)
What are the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and the transition metals.
The DECREASING order of elements based on their electronegativities: O (oxygen), Rb (rubidium), and Ni (nickel).
What is O > Ni > Rb
The type of bond present between H and Cl
What is a polar covalent bond?
The difference in bonding between the following pairs of atoms:
H-F and C-N
What is polar covalent bonding versus nonpolar covalent bonding
The type of conference Mr. Castillo attended in Kentucky.
What is a STEM conference?
A family on the periodic table that is said to have the following properties:
1. Soft
2. Silver/Shiny
3. Very reactive
What are the alkali metals.
The reason why Element K is more reactive than Element Ca.
What is it when ionization energy is smaller than another's, making it less work/easier to remove an electron.
Two substances were tested and the results are shown. What chemical bonding is present in these substances.
1. Substance X: powers a light bulb when dissolved in solution, doesn't melt after 3min on hot plate.
2. Substance Y: powers a light bulb (dimly) when dissolved in solution, doesn't melt after 3min on hot plate.
Both are ionic.
Draw arrows to indicate how an ionic bond would form between Mg and O:

The total population of the city Mr. Castillo visited for his conference.
What is 2,566?
The charge of each element if they were to break up in solution and form ions:
Mg -- S
What is +2 charge and -2 charge
The reason why Element I is larger than Element F.
What is the weakening of attractive forces between protons and electrons as new orbits/orbitals are added and spaced out.
The type of bond formed between Na and S in terms of electronegativity.
What is an ionic bond caused by a large difference in electronegativity that allows an electron to be removed/lost/donated rather than shared?
Which of the following electron configurations best shows IONIC bonding between Li and Cl:
1. Li:1s22s1 Cl: 1s22s22p5 --> Li+:1s2 Cl-: 1s22s22p6
2. Li:1s22s1 Cl: 1s22s22p5 --> Li+:1s22s1 Cl-: 1s22s22p4
3. Li:1s22s1 Cl: 1s22s22p5 --> Li+:1s22s12p1 Cl-: 1s22s22p3
4. Li:1s22s1 Cl: 1s22s22p5 --> Li+:1s2 Cl-: 1s22s32p5
Answer option 1:
1. Li:1s22s1 Cl: 1s22s22p5 --> Li+:1s2 Cl-: 1s22s22p6
LOL free points!
nice job!
