Periodic Table BIG Review

Which atom has the largest atomic radius?

• potassium
• rubidium 
• francium
• cesium

As you move down the periodic table atoms get bigger.  This is because ____________.

• The atoms have more mass.
• The atoms have more protons.
• The atoms have more energy levels
• The atoms have more nuetrons

As you move across the periodic table atoms tend to get smaller because, ______________.

• the atoms have more mass.
• the atoms have less mass
• the atoms have more protons.
• the atoms have less electrons.

The distance between the nucleus of an atom and the outer edge of the electron cloud

• Atomic radius
• Ionic Radius
• Ionization Energy
• Electronegativity

The concept of shielding happens because of

• attraction between nucleus and valence electrons
• attraction between nucleus and core electrons
• repulsion between valence electrons and other valence electrons
• repulsion between core electrons and valence electrons

Shielding electrons are: 

• Electrons in the highest energy level
• Electrons in the lower energy levels
• Electrons that just come and go - they don't stay with the atom
• Electrons that are excited

Valence electrons are: 

• Electrons in the highest energy level
• Electrons closest to the nucleus
• Electrons that just come and go - they don't stay with the atom
• Electrons that are excited
