Front

What is the definition of a period in the context of the periodic table?

Back

A period is a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table, indicating the number of electron shells.

Front

What are noble gases?

Back

Noble gases are elements in Group 18 that are characterized by their lack of reactivity due to having a full valence shell.

Front

What distinguishes alkali metals from other groups?

Back

Alkali metals are highly reactive and are found in Group 1 of the periodic table.

Front

What is the significance of the atomic number?

Back

The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus and determines the element's identity.

Front

What is the general trend in reactivity for alkali metals as you move down the group?

Back

Reactivity increases as you move down the group due to the increasing distance of the outer electron from the nucleus.
