Front

Is this a correct Lewis dot diagram for fluorine (F)?

Back

Yes

Front

How does ionization energy change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?

Back

It decreases

Front

What element is this? (Given the symbol N)

Back

Nitrogen

Front

What is the definition of an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is the Octet Rule?

Back

The Octet Rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell, achieving a stable electron configuration.

Front

What is a Lewis dot diagram?

Back

A Lewis dot diagram is a representation of the valence electrons of an atom, using dots around the element's symbol.

Front

How does atomic radius change across a period in the periodic table?

Back

Atomic radius decreases from left to right across a period due to increasing nuclear charge, which pulls electrons closer to the nucleus.

Front

What is ionization energy?

Back

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom in its gaseous state.
