How many valence electrons does an oxygen atom have?

6

The periodic trend that describes the strength of the electromagnetic attraction between protons and electrons within the atom is...

electron affinity

electronegativity

atomic radius

ionization energy

Nonmetals are located on the (left or right) side of the periodic table?

right

How many energy levels does an aluminum atom have?

3

Which element is more electronegative nitrogen or bromine?

nitrogen (remember when elements are equidistant from fluorine the one with less energy levels is more electronegative)

The periodic trend that describes the amount of energy released when an atom gains an electron is ...

electron affinity

atomic size

electronegativity

ionization energy

How many valence electrons does a magnesium atom have?

2

Which element is larger magnesium or calcium? why?

calcium because it has more energy levels

What are the horizontal rows of the Periodic Table called?

period(s)

With the exception of hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium and boron, how many valence electrons do atoms need to be stable?

8 (octet)

Nonmetals tend to (gain or lose) electrons to obtain a full set of valence electrons and become stable.

gain

What does the period that an element is in tell you about its atomic structure?

the number of energy levels

The periodic trend that describes the relative size of the atom is ...

ionization energy

electron affinity

electronegativity

atomic radius

Which atom would require more energy to remove a valence electron, sodium or sulfur?

sulfur

What are the vertical columns of the Periodic Table called?

group(s)/ family(families)

Which atom is larger, potassium or bromine?

potassium

Electronegativity (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Electronegativity DECREASES as you move down a group/family and INCREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

True or False: Atoms can lose or gain electrons to obtain a full set of 8 valence electrons (an octet).

True

Metals tend to (gain or lose) electrons to obtain a full set of valence electrons and become stable.

lose

What does the group/family that an element is in tell you about its atomic structure?

the number of valence electrons (electrons in the outermost energy level/shell)

True or False: Nonmetals tend to gain valence electrons to form stable ions.

True

Which atom would require more energy to remove a valence electron, lithium or cesium?

lithium

What element is the most electronegative element on the Periodic Table of Elements?

fluorine

What are valence electrons?

electrons in the outermost energy level/shell

True or False: Metals tend to lose (give away) valence electrons to form stable ions.

True

The periodic trend that describes the amount of energy required to remove an electron from an atom is ...

electron affinity

electronegativity

atomic radius

ionization energy

Ionization energy (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Ionization energy DECREASES as you move down a group/family and INCREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

Atomic radius (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Atomic radius INCREASES as you move down a group/family and DECREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

What is the group/family name for column 1 (1A) of the periodic table?

alkali metals

What is the group/family name for column 2 (2A) of the periodic table?

alkaline earth metals

Electron affinity (increases or decreases) as you move down a group/family and (increases or decreases) as you move across a period from left to right.

Electron affinity DECREASES as you move down a group/family and INCREASES as you move across a period from left to right.

Why does the atomic size decrease as you move across a period from left to right?

the increasing number of protons causes a greater electromagnetic attraction between the protons & electrons, pulling the electrons closer to the nucleus

With the exception of helium, how many valence electrons do all noble gas elements have?

8

Why do electronegativity and ionization energy increase as you move across a period from left to right?

the increasing number of protons causes a greater electromagnetic attraction between the protons & electrons, making it more difficult to remove electrons
