Questions
 13. Sodium and potassium have similar chemical properties because they both have similar
properties to each other. Since sodium and potassium are in the same group, they both
have 1 valence electron and 1+ oxidation number. They are also both alkali metals.
14. The energy level of an element’s valence electron is related to its period on the periodic
table because the energy level indicates the period. Since hydrogen has 1 valence
electron it can be found in period 1.

Questions

30. 4
31. Groups 1 and 2
32. The s-block of the periodic table spans 2 groups because the s orbital holds two
electrons.
33. Groups 13 through 18
34. Members of group 18 are virtually unreactive because they have filled their 8 energy
levels.
35. 40
36. Groups 3 through 12
37. The f-block portion of the periodic table spans 14 groups because there are seven f
orbitals that hold 14 electrons.

More Questions

45. Ionization energy is the energy needed to remove the outermost electron.
46. An atom with a high ionization energy is not likely to form a positive ion because it would
require a lot of energy to move it due to the strong hold.
47. As you move from left to right the ionization energy increases because the atom is
smaller making the valence electron closer to the nucleus making it harder to remove an
electron.
48. The group trend for ionization energy is when moving from top to bottom the ionization
energy decreases because the shielding effect lessens the pull of the nucleus on
valence electrons.
49. The octet rule is atoms gain, lose, or share electrons in order to achieve a full set of
valence electrons.
50. The electronegativity of an element indicates the ability of an element's atoms to attract
electrons in a chemical bond.
51. The period trend for electronegativity increases when going from left to right and
decreases for groups when going from top to bottom.
