Groups/Families
Which group/family has 8 valence electrons (except for one atom) and is stable (doesn't need to gain/lose any valence electrons)?
Noble Gases
What atom in the noble gases family is the only one from that family that can't hold 8 valence electrons?
Helium
Which section of atoms (excluding Noble Gases) doesn't follow a periodic trend pattern and is often ignored?
Transition Metals
Which group/family has 2 valence electrons?
Alkaline Metals
What reactive non-metal atom has one valence electron?
Hydrogen
Which atom in the Oxygen group/family has the most ionization energy?
Oxygen
What group/family has 4 valence electrons and can either gain or lose 4 valence electrons to be stable?
Carbon Group
Which of the atoms in the Halogen Group have a power level/period of 4?
Bromine
Which has a stronger coulomb charge, sulfur or fluorine?
Flourine
What group/family has 3 valence electrons and needs to lose those 3 to be stable?
Boron Group
What atom has 1 valence electron and is in the 4th period?
Potassium
Why does the ionization energy become greater the further right on the periodic table you go?
Because it's closer to achieving 8 valence electrons, which according to the Octet rule, is what an atom needs to be stable.
