Explain how the periodic table is similar to the organization of items in a grocery store, as described in the market analogy.

Multiple Choice

Which experiment led to the discovery of the atomic nucleus and how did it impact the development of the periodic law?

• Rutherford's gold foil experiment; it revealed the atomic nucleus and shifted focus from atomic mass to atomic number.

A p sublevel? 

 A d sublevel?

Open Ended

Why is the s-block 2 columns wide?

[Ne] 3s¹: What period is this in?  What block?

1s²2s²2p⁴: What period is this in?  What block?

[Ar]3d⁸4s²: What is the highest principal energy level? What period does that put it in?

Multiple Choice

The length of each period on the periodic table is determined by...

• Number of neutrons in the nucleus

• The number of electrons needed to fill the sublevels for that period

• The date the elements were discovered

• The number of elements in the group

Multiple Choice

• Period 3, p-block

• Period 4, d-block

• Period 4, p-block

• Period 3, d-block

Multiple Choice

The d-block elements, also known as the transition metals, correspond to which sublevel being filled?

• The d sublevel of the current principal energy level

• The d sublevel of the previous principal energy level (n-1)

• The p sublevel

• The s sublevel

Multiple Choice

How many elements are in Period 2, and why?

• 2 elements, because it only fills the 2s sublevel

• 8 elements, because it fills the 2s and 2p sublevels

• 10 elements, because it fills the 2s, 2p, and 2d sublevels

• 18 elements, because it fills the 3s, 3p, and 3d sublevels
