Periodic Trends Review Game

Front

What are the vertical columns on the periodic table called?

Back

Groups

Front

What happens to the size of atoms as you move across the periodic table?

Back

Atoms tend to get smaller because they have more protons.

Front

Which element has a greater electronegativity: H or F?

Back

F has a greater electronegativity than H.

Front

What is the reason atoms get larger as you move down the periodic table?

Back

Atoms get larger because they have more energy levels.

Front

What is the trend in atomic size as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic size increases as you move down a group.

Front

Define electronegativity.

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What is the general trend of electronegativity across a period in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases as you move from left to right across a period.

Front

What is the general trend of ionization energy as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Ionization energy decreases as you move down a group.

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom.

Front

How does the number of protons affect atomic size across a period?

Back

As the number of protons increases, the positive charge pulls electrons closer, reducing atomic size.
