Question 3
3.
Identify the sets of elements by the type of ion formed.
Other Answer Choices:
Elements that form ions with -1 charge
Elements that form ions with +2 charge
Elements that form ions with +1 charge
Elements that do not form ions
Question 4
4.

Distinguish between columns and rows on the Periodic Table.

  • Elements have the same number of valence electrons
  • Families
  • Elements have similar chemical and physical properties
  • Elements have the same number of energy levels
  • Groups
Question 5
5.

Which trait is the first characteristic considered in organizing elements in the modern Periodic Law?

Question 6
6.

Identify the type of ion formed.

  • The atom has 5, 6, or 7 valence electrons
  • The atom is a nonmetal, such as O, P, or Br
  • The atom gains 2 electrons
  • The atom is a metal, such as Na, Ca, or Al
  • The atom has 1, 2, or 3 valence electrons
Question 7
7.

Match the element family with its members' traits.

Alkali Metals
Metals that are found in items that we touch such as jewelry, coins, and utensils

Question 8
8.

Why do neon and argon have similar chemical and physical properties?

Question 9
9.

What rule states that atoms tend to lose, gain, or share electrons in order to get a full set of valence electrons?

Question 10
10.

Match the family of elements with its characteristics.

Halogens
Organized elements by mass and properties and predicted properties for elements that seemed to be missing from his arrangement.
Johann Dobereiner
Assigned an atomic number to each element which was later recognized as the number of protons.
Henry Moseley
Law of Octaves devised after arranging elements by atomic weight.
Dmitri Mendeleev
Involved in the creation of the first transuranium elements, atoms produced in a laboratory.
Glenn Seaborg
Identify the sets of elements by name.

A
Noble Gases
B
Alkaline Earth Metals
C
Transition Metals
D
Inner Transition Metals
E
Halogens
F
Periods
Columns of Elements
Rows of Elements
The atom loses 3 electrons
+ an ion with a positive charge
- an ion with a negative charge
Halogens
Have 1 valence electron; metals that should not touch bare skin because they react quickly with water
Noble Gases
