CP Chem Exam Review Part 1

Front

What is the s-block in the periodic table?

Back

The s-block consists of the first two groups of the periodic table, including the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, characterized by having their outermost electrons in the s orbital.

Front

What is the name of the compound CrF₃?

Back

Chromium (III) fluoride.

Front

In the electron configuration notation for Helium, what does the '1' represent?

Back

The '1' represents the energy level of the electrons.

Front

Which pair of elements is most likely to form an ionic compound?

Back

Magnesium and chlorine are most likely to form an ionic compound due to their positions in the periodic table.

Front

What are the period and group numbers for the element with the electron configuration [Ne] 3s²3p⁵?

Back

Period 3, group 17.

Front

Define ionic compound.

Back

An ionic compound is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that attract each other.

Front

What is the p-block in the periodic table?

Back

The p-block includes groups 13 to 18 and contains elements with their outermost electrons in the p orbital.

Front

What is the significance of the electron configuration?

Back

Electron configuration describes the distribution of electrons in an atom's orbitals, which determines the chemical properties and reactivity of the element.

Front

What is the d-block in the periodic table?

Back

The d-block consists of transition metals, characterized by having their outermost electrons in the d orbital.

Front

What is the f-block in the periodic table?

Back

The f-block includes the lanthanides and actinides, characterized by having their outermost electrons in the f orbital.
