Periodic Table and Trends Remediation Assignment

Front

What is the periodic table?

Back

A tabular arrangement of chemical elements, organized by increasing atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties.

Front

What are periods in the periodic table?

Back

Horizontal rows in the periodic table that indicate the number of electron shells in the elements.

Front

What are groups in the periodic table?

Back

Vertical columns in the periodic table that group elements with similar chemical properties and the same number of valence electrons.

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.

Front

Which element has the smallest ionization energy in Period 6?

Back

Cesium (Cs) has the smallest ionization energy in Period 6.

Front

Why does Francium (Fr) have the lowest ionization energy in Group 1?

Back

Its 1 valence electron is very far from the nucleus, so little energy is needed to remove it.

Front

What color represents alkaline earth metals on the periodic table?

Back

Teal.

Front

What color represents metalloids on the periodic table?

Back

Bright yellow.

Front

What are alkali metals?

Back

Elements in Group 1 of the periodic table, known for being highly reactive and having one valence electron.

Front

What are alkaline earth metals?

Back

Elements in Group 2 of the periodic table, known for having two valence electrons and being less reactive than alkali metals.
