Instructions

Use your Periodic Table and Atomic Structure Note-Taking Sheet to help you answer the following.

Use your notes to help you briefly explain why elements of the same group (family) have similar properties and tend to react in a similar way? I must regrade this.

The number of protons + number of neutrons = _______ 

As you move from right to left, the ionization energy tends to _______ .

Draggable item		Corresponding Item

For each, use the periodic table to identify how many protons, electrons, and neutrons each atom has. Assume each is a neutral atom. There are a few tips you may find helpful.

a.) Li (lithium) - protons _______ neutrons _______ electrons _______ 
b.) Mg (magnesium) - protons _______ neutrons _______ electrons _______ 
c.) Br (bromine) - protons _______ neutrons _______ electrons _______ 
d.) Cu (copper) - protons _______ neutrons _______ electrons _______ 
e.) Xe (xenon) - protons _______ neutrons _______ electrons _______ 

Use the periodic table and your notes on periodic trends to help with the following.

a.) Which element will have the highest electronegativity (use the abbreviations)? _______ 
b.) Which element will have the greatest atomic radii? _______ 
c.) Which element will have the lowest electronegativity? _______ 
d.) Which element will have the lowest ionization energy? _______ 

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Metals		Located on the upper-right corner of the periodic table, poor conductors.
The one that doesn't match any term.		Majority of elements, good conductors, malleable.
Nonmetals		Elements that display properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids		Good conductors of heat, poor conductors of electricity; minority of the elements.
