a)

Atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group.

b)

Electronegativity decreases across a period and decreases down a group.

c)

First ionization energy increases across a period and increases down a group.

4.

a)

Sodium is more electronegative than potassium.

b)

Sodium has more energy levels than potassium.

5.

Which of the following atoms has the smallest atomic radius?

a)

O

b)

B

c)

C

d)

F

6.

Choose the correct statement.

a)

The size of atoms will increase from left to right because the increasing number of electrons occupy more space creating a larger atom.

b)

The size of atoms will increase from left to right because the increasing number of electrons tends to overcome the pull of the protons and increase the size of their orbitals

c)

The size of atoms will decrease from left to right because the increasing number of electrons are adding mass to the outside which is pulled toward the center.

d)

The size of atoms will decrease from left to right because the increasing number of protons results in a greater pull on the electrons toward the nucleus.

7.

Electronegativity is...

a)

the ability of an atom to attract/ accept electrons

b)

the ability of an atom to lose electrons

8.

Ionization energy is...

a)

the energy required to add an electron to a specific atom

b)

the energy required to remove an electron from an atom

c)

the energy required to shield the outer electrons from the nucleus

d)

a measure of the ability of an atom to attract electrons

9.

Which statement correctly and completely identifies a trend?

a)

Atomic radius increases across a period and increases down a group.

b)

Electronegativity increases across a period and decreases down a group.

c)

Ionization energy decreases across a period and increases down a group.

d)

Electronegativity decreases across a period and increases down a group.

10.

Energy level increases when going down a group of the periodic table. Increases of energy levels lead to

a)
