Organization of the Periodic Table Practice

Identify a characteristic of HALOGENS.

• Halogens are inert and do not react with other elements.

• Halogens are highly reactive and can form salts with metals.

• Halogens are only found in gaseous form at room temperature.

• Halogens are metals that conduct electricity.

What is the position of NOBLE GASES in the periodic table?

• Group 1

• Group 14

• Group 18

• Group 3

How many VALENCE electrons does carbon (C) have?

• 2

• 4

• 6

• 8

What is the position of HALOGENS in the periodic table?

• Group 1

• Group 7

• Group 17

• Group 18

What is a METAL?

• A type of element that is typically shiny, malleable, ductile, and a good conductor of heat and electricity.

• A non-metal element that is usually dull and brittle.

• A compound made of two or more elements that are chemically bonded.

• A type of gas that is used in various industrial applications.

What are NOBLE GASES?

• Elements in Group 18 of the periodic table known for their lack of reactivity

• Elements that are highly reactive and form compounds easily

• Elements that are liquid at room temperature

• Elements that are found only in the Earth's crust

What is a METALLOID?

• Elements that are good conductors of electricity.

• Elements that have properties of both metals and nonmetals.

• Elements that are only found in liquid form.

• Elements that are highly reactive with water.

What are VALENCE electrons?

• Electrons in the innermost shell of an atom

• Electrons involved in chemical bonding in the outermost shell of an atom

• Electrons that do not participate in bonding

• Electrons that are always positively charged

What is the HALOGEN FAMILY?

• A group of noble gases in Group 18 of the periodic table.

• A family of elements in Group 17 known for their reactivity and tendency to form salts with metals.

• A collection of alkali metals in Group 1 of the periodic table.

• A set of transition metals found in the center of the periodic table.

Identify a characteristic of METALS.

• Metals are typically good conductors of electricity.

• Metals are usually poor insulators of heat.

• Metals are generally soft and malleable.

• Metals are often transparent to light.
