Be sure the nuber of valence electrons is recorded on your periodic table!
4
Multiple Choice
Elements in the same column of the periodic table always have the same # of _______ as one another.
Protons
Neutrons
Valence Electrons
5
Multiple Choice
Which elements have the most similar chemical properties?
boron and carbon
oxygen and sulfur
aluminum and bromine

Valence electrons are the...
Innermost electrons
Middle electrons
Outermost electrons

Multiple Choice
How do positive ions form?
by gaining electrons
getting compliments
by losing electrons
gaining more protons

Multiple Choice
As you move across a period (row), the shielding effect
increases
decreases
stays constant
14
Multiple Choice
As you move down a group, shielding
increases because there are more energy levels and inner electrons
increases because there are more protons
stays constant because the number of valence electrons stays the same

SUMMARIZE ATOMIC RADIUS IN THE SIDEBAR OF YOUR NOTES
AR decreases going across a period which means the atom is getting smaller. This occurs because there are more protons pulling the electron cloud closer to the nucleus
AR increases going down a group which means the atom is getting bigger. This happens because there are more energy levels and the electron cloud is getting larger
17
Multiple Choice
As you move across the periodic table atoms tend to get smaller because, ______________.
the atoms have less electrons.
the atoms have less neutrons
The atoms have more protons pulling the electrons in closer to nucleus
18
Multiple Choice
As you move down the periodic table atoms get bigger because ____________.
The atoms have more neutrons
The atoms have more protons pulling the electrons in closer to nucleus
The atoms have more energy levels
19
Multiple Choice
The atom with the largest atomic radius in Group 18 is -
Ar
He
Rn

Multiple Choice
Which element has the greatest ionization energy: Aluminum (Al) or Chlorine (Cl)?
Aluminum (Al)
Chlorine (Cl)
25
Multiple Choice
Which element has the greatest electronegativity: Nitrogen (N) or Arsenic (As)?
Nitrogen (N)
Arsenic (As)
26
SUMMARIZE IONIZATION ENERGY IN THE SIDEBAR OF YOUR NOTES
Ionization energy increases across a period which means it will take more energy to remove an electron. This happens because there are more protons pulling on the electrons
Ionization energy decreases down a group which means it will take less energy to remove an electron. This happens due to the increase in energy levels which increases the distance between protons and valence electrons and increases shielding from inner electrons

SUMMARIZE ELECTRONEGATIVITY IN THE SIDEBAR OF YOUR NOTES
Electronegativity increases across a period which means the atom is more able to attract (hog) the electrons This happens because there are more protons pulling on the electrons
Electronegativity decreases down a group which means the atom is less able to attract (hog) the electrons. This happens due to the increase in energy levels which increases the distance between protons and valence electrons and increases shielding from inner electrons
30
Multiple Choice
The element with the largest electronegativity in the halogens is -
At
F
Br
31
Multiple Choice
Electronegativity __________ from left to right within a period and __________ from top to bottom within a group.
decreases, increases
increases, decreases
