1.
The atom with the largest atomic radius in Group 18 is - 
a)
Ar
b)
He
c)
Kr
d)
Rn
2.
As you move down a group, atomic radius increases because - 
a)
you add more and more neutrons
b)
you add more and more protons
c)
you add more and more shells (energy levels)
d)
you add more atomic mass
3.
As you move across the periodic table from left to right, the atomic radius decreases.  This is because - 
a)
the number of protons increases, so attraction to electrons increases
b)
the number of energy levels increases
c)
the number of electrons increases
d)
the atomic mass increases
4.
The atom with the largest atomic radius in Period 4 (row 4) is - 
a)
K
b)
Kr
c)
Fe
d)
Fe
5.
Francium (Fr) has the lowest ionization energy in Group 1 because - 
a)
it has the smallest number of valence electrons
b)
it has the greatest atomic mass
c)
it has the greatest number of protons, so it attracts its electrons the strongest
d)
its 1 valence electron is very far from the nucleus, so little energy is needed to remove it
6.
The element with the smallest ionization energy in Period 6 is - 
a)
Rn
b)
Cs
c)
Os
d)
Tm
7.
The energy required to remove electrons is the definition of: 
a)
Electronegativity
b)
Atomic Number
c)
Atomic Radius
d)
Ionization
8.

a)
Names
b)
atomic numbers
c)
atomic masses
d)
properties
9.
Electronegativity is...
a)
the ability of an atom to attract/ accept electrons
b)
the ability of an atom to lose electrons
c)
the energy required to remove an electron from a specific atom
d)
how easy it is to make friends.
