Unit 3 Review

The vertical (up and down) columns in the Periodic Table are called

• groups

• towers

• periods

• atomic numbers

Which group of the periodic table is composed of inert (not reactive)  gases?

• alkali metals
• alkaline earth metals
• halogens
• noble gases

Which is an alkali metal?

• Magnesium
• Iron
• Sodium
• Europium

Which of the following will have a larger atomic radius than Zinc?

• Gallium

• Aluminum

• Magnesium

• Strontium

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

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 with a lot of shielding from the nucleus, so little energy is needed to remove it

Which of the following will have a lower ionization energy than Scandium (Sc)?

• Helium (He)
• Titanium (Ti)
• Calcium (Ca)
• Magnesium (Mg)

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. 

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.

Elements in the same column of the periodic table always have the same # of _______ as one another.

• Protons
• Neutrons
• Electrons
• Valence Electrons
