Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements best describes the Group A elements in the periodic table?

• Group A elements are the representative elements and have d or f sub-shells as their outer orbitals.

• Group A elements are the lanthanides and actinides and have s or p sub-shells as their outer orbitals.

• Group A elements are the transition elements and have s or p sub-shells as their outer orbitals.

• Group A elements are the representative elements and have s or p sub-shells as their outer orbitals.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements best describes the Group B elements in the periodic table?

• Group B elements are the representative elements and have partly filled s or p sub-shells.

• Group B elements are the non-representative elements and have partly filled d sub-shells (the transition elements) or partly filled f sub-shells (the lanthanide series and the actinide series).

• Group B elements are the transition elements and have fully filled d sub-shells.

• Group B elements are the lanthanide and actinide series and have fully filled f sub-shells.

Multiple Choice

What do the rows or periods in the periodic table correspond to?

• number of protons in an atom

• number of isotopes of an element

• atomic mass of an element

• energy levels or shells of an atom

Multiple Choice

In the periodic table, what do the groups or columns represent and why do elements in the same group share similar chemical properties?

• 1. Groups represent the number of protons in the nucleus, and elements in the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of protons.

• 1. Groups represent the atomic mass of elements, and elements in the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same atomic mass.

• 1. Groups represent the valence electrons, and elements in the same group share similar chemical properties because they have the same electron configuration in their outer shell.
