lose

Answer

gain

Question 8

smaller

Answer

larger

Question 9

Metals can lose valence electrons easier, if the atoms are ___________.

Accepted Answer

larger

Answer

smaller

Question 10

Non-metals atoms are more reactive if they are smaller, this is because......

Accepted Answer

The positive charge of the protons attracts the negative charge of the electrons more in a smaller atom.

Answer

The positive charge of the protons attracts the neutral charge of the neutrons more in a smaller atom.

Answer

The positive charge of the electrons attracts the neutral charge of the neutrons more in a smaller atom.

Answer

The positive charge of the electrons repels the negative charge of the protons more in a smaller atom.

Question 11

Larger metal atoms are more reactive because...

Accepted Answer

There is more space in-between the positive protons and negative electrons, making it easier to lose valance electrons.

Answer

There is more space in-between the positive protons and neutral neutrons, making it easier to lose valance electrons.

Answer

There is more space in-between the positive electrons and negative protons, making it easier to lose valance electrons.

Answer

There is more space in-between the neutral neutrons and positive electrons, making it easier to lose valance electrons.

Question 14

What would be the charge of Iodine if it became stable (full outer shell)?

Accepted Answer

-1

Answer

+1

Answer

-7

Answer

+7

Question 15

Which non-metal is more reactive? Remember to first look at the number of valence electrons, then look at the size of the atom. Chlorine or Iodine

Accepted Answer

Chlorine - because the atom is smaller and can gain the extra 1 valence electron.

Answer

Iodine - because the atom is smaller and can gain the extra 1 valence electron.

Answer

Chlorine - because the atom is larger and can lose its 7 valence electrons easier.

Answer

Iodine - because the atom is larger and can lose its 7 valence electrons easier.

Question 16

Which metal is more reactive? Remember to look at the valance electrons first, then the size of the atom. Radium or Magnesium

Accepted Answer

Radium - because it is a larger atom and can lose the 2 valence electrons easier.

Answer

Radium - because it is a smaller atom and can lose the 2 valence electrons easier.

Answer

Magnesium - because it is a smaller atom and can gain the 6 valence electrons easier.

Answer

Magnesium - because it a larger atom and can gain the 6 valence electrons easier.
