Explain why magnesium ( $$Mg$$ ) forms a $$2+$$ ion rather than a $$1+$$ ion.

It is easier to lose two electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.

It is easier to gain one electron.

It is more stable with one electron in the outer shell.

A student claims that the atomic radius of chlorine is larger than that of sodium. Use periodic trends to evaluate this claim.

The claim is incorrect because atomic radius decreases across a period, so sodium is larger.

The claim is correct because chlorine is to the right of sodium.

The claim is correct because chlorine has more protons.

The claim is incorrect because atomic radius increases across a period.

Which of the following best explains why noble gases are generally unreactive?

They have a full valence shell, making them stable.

They have incomplete outer shells.

They have low ionization energies.

They have high electronegativities.

Predict which element, potassium or calcium, will have a higher second ionization energy and explain why.

Potassium, because removing a second electron breaks a stable noble gas configuration.

Calcium, because it has more protons.

Potassium, because it is further to the left in the period.

Calcium, because it is a metal.

What is the electron configuration for a neutral atom of phosphorus ( $$P$$ )?

1s $$^2$$ 2s $$^2$$ 2p $$^6$$ 3s $$^2$$ 3p $$^3$$

1s $$^2$$ 2s $$^2$$ 2p $$^6$$ 3s $$^2$$ 3p $$^5$$

1s $$^2$$ 2s $$^2$$ 2p $$^6$$ 3s $$^2$$ 3p $$^4$$

1s $$^2$$ 2s $$^2$$ 2p $$^6$$ 3s $$^1$$ 3p $$^3$$
