PERIODIC TABLE TEST REVIEW

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

• groups

• towers

• periods

• atomic numbers

The Modern Periodic Table of Elements is arranged by

• atomic mass

• valence electrons
• number of isotopes

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

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

The atoms along the staircase are called 

• metals
• nonmetals
• metalloids
• noble gases

Which is an alkali metal?

• Magnesium
• Iron
• Sodium
• Europium

Which is a halogen?

• Helium
• Chlorine
• Oxygen
• Neptune

Elements in a ..................have similar chemical properties.  

• period
• group
• row

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, so little energy is needed to remove it
