| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The filled outer electron level configuration can be written as what? | ns(superscript 2)np(superscript 6) |
| The eight electrons in the outer energy level fill what orbitals? | s and p |
| In most chemical reactions, atoms tend to match the s and p electron configurations of the noble gases. What is this tendency called? | The octet rule |
| Based on the octet rule, an atom whose outer s and p orbitals do not match the electron configurations of a noble gas will do what? | They will react to lose or gain electrons so the outer orbitals will be full |
| Alakai metals are in what group? | Group 1 |
| Alakine-earth metals are in what group? | Group 2 |
| Transition metals are in what groups? | 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 |
| Noble Gases are in what group? | 18 |
| The Halogens are in which group? | 17 |
| Are the Halogens reactive? | yes |
| After reacting, an element becomes what? | stable |
| The superscripts in an electron confiuration ([Mg] + [Ne]3s (superscript 2) ) added together tell how many ________ an atom has. | valence electrons |
| A potassium will lose one valence electron to have the electron configuration of a noble gas instead of gaining 7 valence electrons because ...? | it requires less energy |
| All atoms are uncharged because they have...? | equal numbers of protons and electrons |
| After giving up an electron to become stable, an atom will have an uneven number of protons and neutrons, causing there to be a...? | net electrical charge |
| An atom, radical, or molecule that has gained or lost one or more electrons and has a negative or positive charge is called a(n) | ion |
