Aubin's PERIODIC TRENDS Test

Front

What happens to atomic radius as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic radius increases because you add more shells (energy levels).

Front

Which element has the largest atomic radius in Group 8?

Back

Radon (Rn).

Front

How can you determine the period of an element in the periodic table?

Back

By its electron configuration.

Front

Order the following elements by increasing ionization energy: Neon, Lithium, Carbon.

Back

Lithium, Carbon, Neon.

Front

What is the definition of ionization energy?

Back

The energy required to remove electrons from an atom.

Front

What is the trend of ionization energy as you move across a period from left to right?

Back

Ionization energy generally increases.

Front

What is the trend of atomic radius as you move across a period from left to right?

Back

Atomic radius generally decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between electronegativity and ionization energy?

Back

Generally, as ionization energy increases, electronegativity also increases.

Front

What is the significance of the electron configuration in determining an element's properties?

Back

It helps predict the element's reactivity, ionization energy, and placement in the periodic table.

Front

What is the general trend of electronegativity in the periodic table?

Back

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.
