What is electronegativity (EN)?

Back

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons.

Front

Which element has a higher electronegativity: H or F?

Back

Front

What are the two most reactive families on the periodic table?

Back

The two most reactive families are the Halogens and the Alkali metals.

Front

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

Back

The atomic radius increases as you move down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

What are the characteristics of metals in the periodic table?

Back

Metals are typically lustrous, malleable, ductile, and good conductors of heat and electricity.

Front

What are the characteristics of nonmetals in the periodic table?

Back

Nonmetals are usually dull, brittle, and poor conductors of heat and electricity.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in chemistry?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons.
