Periodic Table, The Atom and Bonding

The vertical groups of elements with similiar features and characteristics are called

• families

• periods

• bohr models

• lewis structures

The horizontal rows of elements that are grouped based of of similiar physical and chemical characteristics are called

• families

• periods

• bohr models

• lewis structures

The most stable, and the column to the farthest right of the periodic table is the

• noble gases familiy

• alkali metal family

• metalloid family

• transition metal family

What are three characteristics of metals

• shiny, brittle, good conductor

• malleable, dull, brittle

• malleable, strong, good conductor

• shiny, malleable brittle

What are three characteristics of non-metals

• dull, malleable, hard

• shiny, hard, good conductor

• brittle, good insulator, dull

• malleable, good conductor, dull

Why are elements grouped together officially as families in the periodic table?

• they all look alike

• they have similar physical characteristics

• they have similar chemical characteristics

• they have similar physical and chemical characteristics

• they have the same number of neutrons

Which family in the periodic table is non-reactive, or inert?

• alkali metals

• halogen

• transition metal

• noble gases

• alkaline earth metals

which two groups can bond together easiest? (such as in a ionic bond)

• alkali metal and a halogen

• alkaline earth metal and noble gas

• alkali metal and noble gas

• alkaline earth meals and transition meals

What happens to the number of valence electrons as you move from the left to the right side of the periodic table?

• they get bigger

• they get smaller

• they stay they same

What happens to the number of orbitals needed as you move up the periodic table?

• you need more

• you need less

• the need is the same
