The group found down between groups IIA and IIIA, numbered 3-12, are good examples of everyday metals. They are the
(a)
The reactivity of metals
increases down a group but decreases left to right across period
decreases down a group but increases left to right across a period
increases down a group and increases across a period
decreases down a group and decreases across a period

decreases down a group but increases left to right across a period
increases down a group and increases right to left across a period
decreases down a group and decreases down a period
increases down a group and decreases across a period
Metals form cations. Cations are smaller than their representative elements due to
they gain an energy level and gain electrons
they lose electrons, which causes them to lose an entire energy level
they gain electrons but lose an entire energy level
they gain energy levels but lose electrons
Non-metals form anions. Anions have a larger atomic radius than their representative elements. This is due to
they gain an energy level and gain electrons
they lose electrons but gain an energy level
they gain electrons, which causes less pull from the nucleus due to greater shielding effect.
they gain electrons but lose an energy level
