1.

X-axis: Which is your independent variable? (set up or changed by the experimenter)

2.

Y-axis: Which is your dependent variable? (set up or changed by the experimenter)

3.

Make a graph of Electronegativity vs. Element Symbol. Click on show your work to graph.

4.

Based on the electronegativity graph from question 3, which is true?

5.

Which is true about the ionization data and graph provided? Select All that apply

6.

As the atomic number ______________ (increases/decreases) across a period, atoms are able to attract electrons ________ (more/less) easily so the electronegativity value_____________ (increases/decreases).

7.

As you move across a period, it is ________________ (easier/harder) to remove an electron, so the ionization energy ___________(increases, decreases).

8.

Identify what the graph is showing. (i.e. title, axes, labels, elements graphed, properties graphed etc.)

9.

Interpret what is means by explaining the pattern(s) (Select all that apply)

10.

Identify what each graph is showing. (i.e. title, axes, labels, elements graphed, properties graphed etc.)

11.

Interpret what they mean by explaining the pattern(s). Select All that Apply.

12.

As you move down the periodic table, atoms become ______________ (bigger/smaller), and they attract electrons ________ (more/less). This makes it ________________ (easier/harder) to remove an electron.

13.

As you move up the periodic table, atoms become ______________ (bigger/smaller), and they attract electrons ________ (more/less). This makes it ________________ (easier/harder) to remove an electron..

14.

Rank the following in order of increasing atomic radius:

lowest EN and IE
2nd lowest EN and IE
2nd highest EN and IE
Highest EN and IE
16.

As the atomic radius increases down a group, the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons _________(increases/decreases), and the electronegativity and ionization energy both _____________ (increase, decrease).

21.

As you move to the right on the periodic table, atoms become ______________ (bigger/smaller), and they attract electrons ________ (more/less). This makes it ________________ (easier/harder) to remove a valence electron.

22.

As you move to the left on the periodic table, atoms become ______________ (bigger/smaller), and they attract electrons ________ (more/less). This makes it ________________ (easier/harder) to remove a valence electron.
