1.

The trends on the periodic table are dependent on..

a)

how attracted a valence electron is to the nucleus

b)

how attracted valence electrons are to each other

c)

how attracted a valence electrons is to a non valence electron

d)

how attracted a non valence electron is to the nucleus

2.

What makes a valence electron more attracted to the nucleus?

a)

less distance between the nucleus and having less protons

b)

less distance between the nucleus and having more protons

c)

more distance between the nucleus and having less protons

d)

more distance between the nucleus and having more protons

e)

less distance and having more valence electrons

3.

What is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a bond?

a)

atomic radius

b)

ionization energy

c)

shielding

d)

Electronegativity

4.

The higher the ionization energy...

a)

the more attracted the valence electron is to the nucleus so it is harder to remove

b)

the less attracted the valence electron is to the nucleus so it is easier to remove

c)

the more attracted the valence electron is to another electron, so it is harder to remove

d)

the more repelled a valence electron is to another electron, so it is easier to remove

5.
Which is larger... P or P3- ?
a)
P3- because it gains an energy level
b)
P3- due to extra electron repulsion
c)
P because it loses an energy level
d)
P because of extra electron repulsion
6.

Why does ionization energy decrease going down a group?

a)

Adding more energy levels makes the ve- further from the nucleus so it is easier to remove

b)

There are more valence electrons in the outer shell so the ve- is easier to remove

c)

There are more protons in the nucleus so the ve- is easier to remove

d)

There are less protons in the nucleus so the ve- is easier to remove

7.
Why does electronegativity increase across a period?
a)
Adding more energy levels makes the ve- further from the nucleus
b)
There are more valence electrons in the outer shell
c)
There are more protons  in the nucleus
d)
There are less protons in the nucleus
8.
Which is smaller... Mg or Mg2+ ?
a)
Mg because it gains an energy level
b)
Mg due to extra electron repulsion
c)
Mg2+ because of extra electron repulsion
d)
Mg2+ because it loses an energy level
9.
List the following in order of weakest to strongest ionization energy.
P, Cs, Co, Sr
a)
P, Co, Sr, Cs
b)
Cs, Sr, Co, P
c)
Sr, Cs, Co, P
d)
P, Co, Cs, Sr
10.
List the following from largest to smallest atomic radius.
P, Cs, Co, Sr
a)
P, Co, Sr, Cs
b)
P, Cs, Co, Sr
c)
Cs, Sr, Co, P
d)
Sr, Cs, Co, P
11.

Why doesn't having more protons increase the attraction down a column?

a)

there are more valence electrons in the outermost energy level

b)

actually, there aren't more protons in the nucleus down the column

c)

as energy levels are added, non-valence electrons block the extra protons from attracting ve-

d)

more neutrons block the extra protons

12.

What happens to atomic radius across a period?

a)

the atoms get bigger because the nucleus is bigger as more protons are added

b)

the atoms get bigger because there are more ve-

c)

the atoms get smaller because with more attraction to the extra protons, the e- cloud moves closer to the nucleus

d)

the atoms get bigger because there are more energy levels

13.

Element Z has more protons than element Y, but both have 4 energy levels. Which statement is true?

a)

Y is smaller and would attract electrons more in a bond

b)

Y is bigger and would attract electrons more in a bond

c)

Z is smaller and would attract electrons more in a bond

d)

Z is bigger and would attract electrons more in a bond

14.

Nitrogen is a _ so it will _ electrons when forming an ion.

a)

metal, lose

b)

metal, gain

c)

nonmetal, lose

d)

nonmetal, gain

15.

Nitrogen will gain _ ve- to have a charge of _.

a)

5 , -5

b)

3, +3

c)

3, -3

d)

5, +5

16.

A full valence shell is considered having _ ve-.

a)

0

b)

2

c)

6

d)

8

17.

Which of the following lose all their ve- when forming an ion?

a)

metals

b)

nonmetals

c)

metalloids

d)

depends on how many ve- the element has

18.

Which has a higher electronegativity.. Rb or Sr?

a)

Rb, because with more p+ in its nucleus it attracts e- more

b)

Sr, because with more p+ in its nucleus it attracts e- more

c)

Rb, because with more nrg levels the ve- are closer to/ more attracted to the nucleus

d)

Sr, because with more nrg levels the ve- are closer to/ more attracted to the nucleus

19.

Which has a higher ionization energy.. N or As?

a)

N, because with more p+ in its nucleus it attracts e- more making them harder to remove.

b)

As, because with more p+ in its nucleus it attracts e- more making them harder to remove.

c)

As, because with less nrg levels the ve- are closer to/ more attracted to the nucleus making them harder to remove.

d)

N, because with less nrg levels the ve- are closer to/ more attracted to the nucleus making them harder to remove.

20.

Look at the bohr models of Li and Be. Imagine the first valence electron was already removed from both atoms, and now you are going to remove the second valence electron. The energy required to remove the second valence electron is called second ionization energy. Would lithium or beryllium have a higher second ionization energy ?

a)

Li, because it has more protons

b)

Be, because it has more protons

c)

Li, because the second valence electron comes from an energy level closer to the nucleus

d)

Be, because the second valence electron comes from an energy level closer to the nucleus

e)

Li, because the beryllium has two valence electrons that repel each other
