on the left side
-
on the right side
-
in the first two rows

in the last two rows
Question 4
Question
In the periodic table, which column (group) contains the most halogens?
Question 5
Question
The electronegativity of an element indicates the relative ability of its atoms to attract electrons in a chemical bond. According to the graph, as you move across a period on the periodic table, the atomic number
Answer
-
increases and the electonegativity increases
-
increases and the electonegativity decreases
-
decreases and the electonegativity increases
-
decreases and the electonegativity decreases
Question 6
Question
The ionization energy of an element indicates the energy it takes to remove an electron from the outermost level. As you move down a group in the periodic table, the ionization energy
Answer
-
decreases because the electron is farther from the nucleus
-
increases because the number of protons increases
-
decreases because the number of neutrons increases
-
increases because of the size of the atom increases
Question 7
Question
How many electrons does the element found in the second row and second column of the periodic table have available for bonding?
Question 8
Question
Why are the elements in column 17 of the periodic table have in the outer shell?
Answer
-
They have only one electron in their outer electron shells, so they frequently form singly charged positive ions
-
They have only two electrons in their outer shells, so they frequently bond with doubly charged negative ions.
-
They need only two electrons to complete their outer shells, so they easily bond with doubly charged positive ions.
-
They need only one electrons to complete their outer shells, so they easily bond with many types of elements
