Review Unit 5: (Flashcardizz) Bonding & Periodic Trends (Chem-1)

Front

What is the atomic radius trend in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic radius increases down a group and decreases across a period from left to right.

Front

Which element has the highest electronegativity?

Back

Fluorine (F) is the most electronegative element.

Front

What is the charge of a nitrogen ion?

Back

The charge for a nitrogen ion is -3.

Front

What characterizes noble gases in terms of electron configuration?

Back

Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and unreactive.

Front

What type of bond is formed between nonmetal elements?

Back

Nonmetal elements typically form covalent bonds with each other.

Front

What is the definition of electronegativity?

Back

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

Front

How does the size of an atom change as you move down a group in the periodic table?

Back

The size of an atom increases as you move down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.

Front

Which group of elements is known for being highly reactive?

Back

Alkali metals are known for being highly reactive due to their single valence electron.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule in bonding?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to bond in a way that gives them eight valence electrons, achieving stability.
