Chapter 5 Review

1. Identify two obvious trends going across the periodic table that you learned
before we started chapter 5. What trend or trends can you identify going
down a group that you learned before we started chapter 5. (Hint. Refer to
Chapter 1, Section 1-3 of your book)
a. Metals; Nonmetals Solids; Gases
2. Define periodic table.
a. an arrangement of chemical elements based on their atomic
numbers and similarity of properties
3. Who put the first successful periodic table together? Why did he call it
“periodic”?
a. Dmitri Mendeleev; He put the elements in recurring trends
4. In what order or by what trend did Mendeleev put the periodic table in?
a. In the order of their atomic mass; Similarities in chemical
properties
5. Which scientist corrected Mendeleev’s periodic table? What did he change?
a. Henry Moseley (w/ help from Rutherford); arranged them by
atomic number instead
6. Define periodic law.
a. The statement that the physical and chemical properties of the
elements repeat in a regular pattern when they are arranged
in order of increasing atomic number.
7. What new group was added to the periodic table in the late 1800’s?
a. Noble Gases
8. How is the modern periodic table arranged? (Hint: increasing/decreasing
number?) Define this number.
a. Increasing Atomic Number (The number of protons in the
nucleus of an atom)
9. What is the common name for Group 1? Group 2? Group 7? Group 8?
a. Alkali Family; Alkaline Family; Halogen Family; Noble Gases
10.What is the oxidation number for Groups 1-8?
a. I(+1) II(+2) III(+3) IV(+4) V(-3) VI(-2) VII(-1)
VIII(0)
11.The d-block is commonly known as what? What about the f-block?
a. Transition Metals; Rare-Earth Metals
12.Why is Group 1 so highly reactive? Group VII?
a. 1 Valence Electron and all the elements want it
b. It only needs 1 to be happy and it’s desperate to get that 1
13.Why are noble gases largely unreactive?
a. Because they are stable with 8 valence electrons and “happy”
14.What is the equation for ionization energy? What is the equation for electron
affinity?
 a. a + e a+ + e- ; a + e  a-+e
15.Define ionization energy. What is its trend on the periodic table? (period and
group)
a. he amount of energy that is needed to remove an electron
from a molecule
b. Period: Increases (left to right) Group: Decreases (top
to bottom)
16.What is IE2? IE3? Which has more energy?
a. The energies for removal of an additional electron from an
atom; IE3
17.Define atomic radius. What is its trend on the periodic table? (period and
group)
a. half the distance between the atomic nuclei in a molecule
consisting of identical atoms
b. Period: Decreases (left to right) Group: Increases (Top
to Bottom)
18.What are valence electrons? Where are they located?
a. An electron in the outermost energy level of an atom; they are
capable of forming bonds with other atoms
19.Why does the atomic radius increase when it is followed down a group?
a. Because the number of energy levels increases therefore the
farther the outermost valence electron the larger the atomic
radius
20.Does Group 1 tend to lose or gain its valence electrons? Why?
a. Lose; because it is easier to lose a valence electron then gain 7
21.Does Group 7 tend to lose or gain its valence electrons? Why?
a. Gain; because it is easier to gain a valence electron then lose 7
22.Define electronegativity. What is its trend on the periodic table? (period and
group)
a. is the ability of an atom to attract toward itself the electrons in
a chemical bond
b. Period: Increases (Left to right) Group: Decreases (Top
to Bottom)
23.Define electron affinity. What is its trend on the periodic table? (period and
group)
a. the energy needed to remove an electron from a negative ion to form a
neutral atom or molecule
b. Period: Increases (Left to right) Group: Stays constant,
does not change
24.In ionic radius, what happens to the size of an atom when an electron is
gained? When an electron is lost?
a. Cation: Ionic Radius Decreases; Anion: Ionic Radius
Increases
25.Distinguish between a cation and anion.
a. Cation – positive ion
b. Anion – a negation ion
1. Discuss the importance of Mendeleev’s periodic law.
2. Identify each element as a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal.
a. Fluorine - Nonmetal
b. Germanium- Metalloid
c. Zinc - Metal
d. Phosphorous - Nonmetal
e. Lithium - Metal
3. Give two examples of elements for each category.
a. Noble gases - Krypton; Neon
b. Halogens - Chlorine; Fluorine
c. Alkali metals - Lithium; Sodium
d. Alkaline metals - Strontium; Calcium

7. Define Ionization Energy.
a. he amount of energy that is needed to remove an electron
from a molecule
8. Is it easier to form a positive ion with an element that has a high ionization
energy or an element that has a low ionization energy? Explain.
a.
