8.

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

9.
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
10.
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
11.

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
