CP Chem Exam Review Part 4

Front

Where are the nonmetals located on the periodic table?

Back

Nonmetals are located in the top right corner of the periodic table.

Front

Name groups 3 - 12 on the periodic table.

Back

Groups 3 - 12 are known as transition metals.

Front

What is the correct electron configuration for the element with atomic number 12?

Back

The correct electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².

Front

What is the name of P₄S₁₀?

Back

The name is tetraphosphorus decasulfide.

Front

What are the main characteristics of nonmetals?

Back

Nonmetals are typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, have high ionization energies, and are not malleable or ductile.

Front

What is the general trend of electronegativity on the periodic table?

Back

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

Front

Define atomic radius.

Back

Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom to the outermost shell of electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the octet rule?

Back

The octet rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, leading to greater stability.

Front

What are alkali metals and where are they located on the periodic table?

Back

Alkali metals are located in group 1 of the periodic table and are highly reactive.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
