1.

As you move down a group, the 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

2.

The atom with the largest atomic radius in Group 18 (the noble gases) is ___.

a)

Ar

b)

He

c)

Kr

d)

Rn

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.

Which atom has the largest atomic radius in Period 4 (row 4)?

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 one valence electron is very far from the nucleus, so little energy is needed to remove it
