The atom
100
What directions does atomic radius/size increase on the periodic table?

Left and Down

100

What did Newlands discover?

He discovered the periodic pattern in elements based on their masses

100

What period is only made of gases?

Period 1

100

What group is known for not reacting with other elements

Noble gases

100

What is the name of the number representing the amount of protons and electrons in a neutral atom.

The Atomic Number

200

When moving from left to right on the periodic table why does the atomic radius/size decrease?

The larger nucleus pulls the electrons closer to the center.

200

What did Moseley create?

Moseley Created the periodic table we use now by ordering it with atomic number(number of protons) instead of by mass.

200

If you throw a group 1 element into water what happens

It Explodes

200

An element is found to have a complete valence shell. What group is this element in?

Noble Gases

200
What are valence electrons

Electrons in the outermost shell/principle energy level

300

What directions do Ionization Energy, Electron Affinity, and Electronegativity Increase on the periodic table?

Up and Right

300

What property did Mendeleev use to design the periodic table?

Atomic weight/mass

300

What element filled the first blimp the Hindenburg

Hydrogen

300

Name the most reactive groups in the periodic table.

Multiple groups can answer this! (If first group gets it wrong)

Alkali Metals

Alkaline Earth Metals

Halogens

300

An element has three valence electrons which element will it react most like (they react similarly)

1.Be

2.B

3.C

4.N

All groups can answer by having one person hold up a number of fingers

2.Boron (B)

400

Why does Ionization energy decrease when moving down the periodic table?

The distance between the nucleus and the electrons is increasing.

400

Name an exception to Mendeleev's order of the periodic table. (What elements are not in order of mass)

Bonus points for naming more than one pair of elements correctly!

Ni and Co

Te and I

400

Name as many elements as you can.

Any incorrect elements loses all points

(100 points per element)

Names of elements

400

What group is known for being incredibly reactive and forming negative ions

Halogens (group 17)

400

What about the atom of an element shows its chemical properties?

Its number of valence electrons/group

500

What are Ionization Energy, Electron Affinity, and Electronegativity?

You need all three for the points.

IE = energy to remove an electron

EA = Energy change when adding an electron

EN = Strength of an atom pulling electrons in a bond

500

Why did Mendeleev place some elements in the wrong order based on mass?

He placed elements in the wrong order due to their chemical properties (Reacting similarly to elements in a different group)

500

Which element has the highest electronegativity

1. [He] 2s^2 2p^5

2. [He] 2s^2 2p^4

3. [Ar] 3s^2 3p^5

4. [Ar] 3s^2 3p^4

All groups can answer by one person holding up their fingers!

1. [He] 2s^2 2p^5

500

Name as many group names as you can!

The group that gets the most wins. (Name all of them and get double points)

Alkali

Alkaline Earth

Inner transition

Lanthanoids

Actinoids

Transition

Post Transition

Metalloids

Reactive Nonmetals

Halogens

Noble Gases

500

An element is found to have a full valence shell. What does this say about how reactive the element is?

It will not be reactive
