200
The type of bond between two non-metals.
What is a covalent bond?
300
The reason why Calcium and Magnesium solutions both burn a reddish color in a flame test.
What is the fact that they are in the same group in the periodic table and therefore both have 2 valence electrons in an s-shell.
300
WHITE BOARD PROBLEM (all play): Write the noble gas configuration for Sn.
[Kr] 5s2 4d10 5p2
300
The name of the 14 column block/sublevel that is typically pulled out of the periodic table and placed below.
What is the f block/sublevel?
300
The element on the periodic table that has the highest ionization energy.

500
The way that forensic scientists might use emission spectra to determine if copper is present in a poison.
What is by comparing a spectra of the poison to a spectra of copper. If all of the lines from copper are in the spectra for the poison, then copper is present.
