Trends in the Periodic Table

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Atomic radius (covalent radius)   Half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element that are joined together by a single covalent bond  
🗑
Why do values of atomic radius increase down any one group in the Periodic table?   - A new shell further from the nucleus - The screening effect of inner electrons.  
🗑
Why do values of atomic radius decrease from left to right across any period of the Periodic Table?   - Increasing nuclear charge - No increase in the screening effect  
🗑
The first ionisation energy is..   Is the minimum energy required to completely remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom in its ground state  
🗑
Why do the the values of ionisation energy decrease down the groups in the periodic table?   - Increasing atomic radius - The screening effect of inner electrons.  
🗑
Why do the values of ionisation energy increase across the periods in the Periodic Table?   - Increasing nuclear charge - Decreasing atomic radius  
🗑
Why do the values of electronegativity decrease down the groups in the Periodic Table/   - Increasing atomic radius - Screening effect of inner electrons  
🗑
Why do the Electronegativity values increase across the periods in the Periodic Table?   - Increasing nuclear charge - Decreasing atomic radius  
🗑
What is the meaning of the term "Bond Length"?   The distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms measured by x-ray diffraction  
🗑
What is 2nd Ionisation energy?   its the energy required to remove an electron from an ion with one positive charge in the gaseous state.  
🗑
What does the term "n=3" refer to?   third energy level or orbital.  
🗑
The chemical properties of an element are largely determined by the ..?   Number of electrons in the outermost energy level.  
🗑
All the Alkali metals react with Oxygen to produce..   Metal Oxides.  
🗑
Why is it important not to put Alkali metals into dilute acid?   An explosion occurs due to so much Hydrogen being produced.  
🗑
An Alkali Metal + Water reacts to give ...( Na + H2O)   A Metal Hydroxide and Hydrogen  
🗑
What group number are the Halogens?   VII  
🗑
Do Halogens exist free in nature?   No  
🗑
What is the trend in reactivity of the Halogens?   Increases as you go up the group  
🗑
More reactive Halogens will .............. the less reactive Halogens from a solution of their ions   Displace  
🗑
What accounts for the increasing Boiling Points of the Halogens as you go down the group?   Increasing Van Der Waals Forces due to increasing sizes of molecules.  
🗑
Why do some elements have first ionisation energies that are much greater than expected. (Don't conform to the general trends)   Atoms with filled and half-filled outer sub-levels have an increased stability leading to a greater 1st ionisation energy requirement  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
