Atoms with a very small radius tend to have __________, while atoms with a very large radius tend to have __________.

• high ionization energies / low ionization energies

• low ionization energies / high ionization energies

• high ionization energies / high ionization energies

• high electronegativity / low electronegativity

• low ionization energies / low ionization energies

As you move down a group, electronegativity

• Increases

• Decreases

As you move down a group, ionization energy

• Increases

• Decreases

As you move down a group, reactivity

• Increases

• Decreases

Anions have a __________ radius than their parent atoms, while cations have a __________ radius than their parent atoms.

• smaller / larger

• larger / smaller

• smaller / smaller

• larger / larger

Which of these two atoms has a larger atomic radius? Li or H?

• Li

• H

• they have the same radius

Which of the following is an alkali metal?

• Rb

• Sr

• Sn

• I

Why does atomic radius decrease as you move across a period of the periodic table from one element to the next?

• because the increasing number of protons and decreasing number of electrons creates an attractive force which causes the atom to expand

• because the increasing number of protons and increasing number of electrons creates an attractive force which causes the atom to shrink in on itself

• because the decreasing number of protons and decreasing number of electrons creates an attractive force which causes the atom to shrink in on itself

• because the decreasing number of protons and increasing number of electrons creates an attractive force which causes the atom to shrink in on itself
