The family that is made up of all gases at room temperature.

What are the noble gases?

100

The three periodic trends you should be familiar with.

What are atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity?

100

This type of chemical bond conducts electricity when dissolved in solution and has a high melting point.

What is an IONIC bond?

100

This periodic trend follows the same pattern as electronegativity.

What is ionization energy?

100

The animal that Mr. Castillo got to feed/play with in Kentucky.

What is a Kangaroo? 

200

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?

200

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?

200

The difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds.

What is the unequal sharing compared to equal sharing of electrons?

200

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.

200

The city that Mr. Castillo visited in Kentucky.

What is Cave City, Kentucky.

300

The families that are made up of metals (or consist of metals)

What are the alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, and the transition metals.

300

The DECREASING order of elements based on their electronegativities: O (oxygen), Rb (rubidium), and Ni (nickel).

What is O > Ni > Rb

300

The type of bond present between H and Cl

What is a polar covalent bond?

300

The difference in bonding between the following pairs of atoms:

H-F and C-N

What is polar covalent bonding versus nonpolar covalent bonding

300

The type of conference Mr. Castillo attended in Kentucky.

What is a STEM conference?

400

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.

400

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.

400

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.

400

Draw arrows to indicate how an ionic bond would form between Mg and O:

400

The total population of the city Mr. Castillo visited for his conference.

What is 2,566? 

500

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

500

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.

500

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?

500

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
