Questions Periodic Table of Elements Get The Table Organized in Time

The document is a set of multiple choice questions about the periodic table of elements. It tests knowledge of classifying elements as metals vs non-metals, properties like conductivity and shininess that can be used to categorize elements, which element shown would not be a metal based on its phase of matter, which element lacks a metallic appearance, what causes colors in flame tests, writing ionic formulas between elements like sodium and chlorine including determining sodium's charge, identifying periodic trends like atomic radius increasing within groups or decreasing within periods and relating this to number of shells or protons, and identifying properties indicated on the periodic table like non-metals in green or noble gases having a full outer electron shell.

Periodic Table of Elements: Get the table organized

in time!
Question 1: To which of the three main chemical classes does Mercury (Hg) belong?
✓ Metals
– It's not an element in the periodic table
– Metalloids
– Non-metals

Question 2: To figure out where the fallen out boxes go to in the periodic table wall, we need to
perform a couple of experiments. Luckily we have all chemical elements in their pure form here in
the lab. What kind of experiment would help you categorize some of the elements?
✓ All of the options are correct
– Test their ductility
– Measure their electrical conductivity
– Observe their shininess

Question 3: You can see one sample of each of the elements we need to correctly assign to the
periodic table in front of you.

Based on their phase of matter and what you already learned, which of the elements is clearly not a
metal?
✓ Neon
– Calcium
– Copper
– Sodium

Question 4: Which of the elements you tested doesn't have a characteristic metallic appearance?
✓ Phosphorus
– Copper
– Calcium
– Sodium

Question 5: What causes the different colors that we can see in the flame test?
✓ Electrons falling back into their original shell
– Metal ions reacting with chlorine
– Metal atoms reacting with oxygen in the air
– Electrons being excited

Question 6: Clchlorine is part of the element family Halogens, which are also known as salt formers.
How many valence electrons does Nasodium have when forming an ionic bond with Clchlorine?
✓8
–2
–4
–1

Question 7: Based on what you know about their location in the periodic table, what do Cscaesium
and Clchlorine react to form?
✓ CsCl
– CsCl4
– CsCl3
– CsCl2

Question 8: Which group of elements has a full octet of electrons?
✓ Noble gases
– Alkali metals
– Halogens
– Transition metals

Question 9: Applying the trends of oxidation states in the periodic table, what is a likely oxidation
state of chlorine?
✓ -1
– +1
– -7
–7

Question 10: What do you think is the reason for an increasing atomic radius within one group?
✓ Increasing number of electron shells
– Decreasing number of neutrons
– Decreasing number of protons
– Increasing number of electrons

Question 11: What do you think is the reason for a decreasing atomic radius within one period?
✓ Increasing number of protons
– Decreasing metallic character
– Increasing electronegativity
– Decreasing number of neutrons

Question 12: When moving from left to right across a period, ionization energy is increasing. By
which other trend is this caused?
✓ Decrease of atomic radius
– Increase of electrical conductivity
– Decrease in atomic mass
– Less electrons in the outer shell

Question 13: Have a look at the numbering in the periodic table. In the standard periodic table, the
elements are listed in order of increasing atomic number Z.
What do you think the atomic number represents?
✓ Number of protons
– Atomic mass
– Number of electrons
– Number of neutrons

Question 14: Lucy: Can you tell me what the green color here in the periodic table stands for?
✓ Non-metals
– Metalloids
– Noble gases
– Halogens

Question 15: Lucy: What's up with the other elements that are in the same group as Krypton. Do
they have anything in common?
✓ They have the same number of valence electrons
– They have the same number of protons
– They have the same number of electron shells
– They have the same atomic mass

Question 16: Lucy: We also just covered electronegativity in class and I heard it's something that
one can estimate from the periodic table. Which is the element with the lowest electronegativity?
✓ Francium
– Helium
– Neon
– Lithium
