Multiple Choice

A group on the Periodic Table is a:

• column (up & down)

• row (left and right)

Multiple Choice

A period on the Periodic Table is a:

• column (up & down)

• row (left and right)

Multiple Choice

Atoms get larger as you move down a group because:

• more neutrons are added

• more energy levels are added

• more protons are added

• electrons are removed

Multiple Choice

Atoms get smaller as you move across a period because:

• more neutrons are added

• more energy levels are added

• more protons are added, shrinking the atom

• electrons are removed, shrinking the atom

Multiple Choice

The higher the ionization energy, the ________ it is to remove an electron from an atom.

• easier

• harder

Multiple Choice

Why is it easier to remove electrons from atoms further down a group?

• The atoms are smaller and easier to remove electrons.

• The atoms are larger and therefore it is easier to remove electrons.

• The nucleus is weaker as you go down a group.

Multiple Choice

Why do nonmetal ions tend to be larger?

• They gain electrons.

• They lose electrons.

• They gain neutrons.

• They lose neutrons.

Multiple Choice

What area on the Periodic Table houses the elements with the HIGHEST electronegativity?

• Bottom left

• Top left

• Bottom right

• Top right
