Periodic Trends 1

As you move down a group, atomic radius increases because - 

• you add more and more neutrons
• you add more and more protons
• you add more and more shells (energy levels)
• you add more atomic mass

The atom with the largest atomic radius in Group 18 is -

• Ar

• He

• Kr

• Rn

NGSS.HS-PS1-1

As you move across the periodic table from left to right, the atomic radius decreases.  This is because - 

• the number of protons increases, so attraction to electrons increases
• the number of energy levels increases
• the number of electrons increases
• the atomic mass increases

The atom with the largest atomic radius in Period 4 (row 4) is -

• K

• Kr

• Fe

• Fe

Francium (Fr) has the lowest ionization energy in Group 1 because - 

• it has the smallest number of valence electrons
• it has the greatest atomic mass
• it has the greatest number of protons, so it attracts its electrons the strongest
• its 1 valence electron is very far from the nucleus, so little energy is needed to remove it

The energy required to remove electrons is the definition of: 

• Electronegativity
• Atomic Number
• Atomic Radius
• Ionization

Electronegativity is...

• the ability of an atom to attract/ accept electrons
• the ability of an atom to lose electrons
• the energy required to remove an electron from a specific atom
• how easy it is to make friends.
