1.

There is no particular trend in melting point across a period. Because there are different bonds in metals and non-metals. Usually, metals have higher melting points while non-metals have very (a)   melting points

2.

Melting point of Potassium (K) is (a)   than that of Sodium (Na)

3.

Melting point of Calcium (Ca) is (a)   than that of Potassium (K)

4.

Metallic character is an ability to give electrons. Metallic character increases down the group. For example in group 17, Fluorine (F) and Chlorine (Cl) are gases while Iodine (I) is a shiny solid, like a metal. In group 16 ...

a)

Oxygen is a non metal, while Sulfur is metal

b)

Oxygen is a non metal, while Polonium is metal

c)

Sulfur is a non metal, while Oxygen is metal

d)

Polonium is a non metal, while Oxygen is metal

5.

Metallic character has an opposite trend to electronegativity. Metals are usually at the bottom left and non-metals are at the top right. Considering that, metallic character will (a)   across a period, from left to right.

6.

8.

What did Mendeleev observe when he arranged the 63 known elements by increasing atomic mass on the periodic table?

a)

A repetition pattern occurs in chemical and physical properties of elements throughout the periodic table.

b)

An atomic weight  correspond (match or agree almost exactly) to the existing abundance (amount) of each element in the universe

c)

The number of neutrons and protons increased by one through the periodic table.

9.

Iron (Fe) has more protons than Nickel (Ni)

c)

Sulfur (S) has more protons than Boron(B )

d)

Hydrogen (H) has more protons than helium (He)

12.

After Mendeleev constructed the periodic table, he predicted the discovery of several elements that were not yet known. What prediction was Mendeleev able to make about these unknown elements, based on his table?

a)

The unknown elements chemical and physical properties

b)

The likely geographical place on earth where the unknown elements could be found.

c)

The amount of the unknown element that could be found in mines and mineral deposits.
