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 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 element with the smallest ionization energy in Period 6 is - 

• Rn
• Cs
• Os
• Tm

• Carbon (C)

• Neon (Ne)

• Antimony (Sb)

• Germanium (Ge)

Which of the following halogens has the greatest electronegativity?

• Chlorine (Cl)

• Iodine (I)

• Astatine (At)

Which group of elements has the lowest ionization energies?

• Alkali Metals (Group 1)

• Alkaline Earth Metals (Group 2)

• Halogens (Group 17)

• Noble Gases (Group 18)

What is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom?
