In a row in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases, the atomic radius generally
a. remains constant.
b. decreases.
c. increases.
d. becomes immeasurable.
The periodic table
a. was completed with the dicovery of the noble gases.
b. will be completed with element 118.
c. has been of little use to chemists since the early 1900s.
d. permits the properties of an element to be predicted before the element is discovered.
As you move down Group 14 in the periodic table from carbon through lead, atomic radii
a. vary unpredictably.
b. generally decrease.
c. generally increase.
d. do not change.
Which is the best reason that the atomic radius generally increases with atomic number in each group of elements?
a. A new octet forms.
b. The number of neutrons increases.
c. The number of occupied energy levels increases.
d. The nuclear charge increases.
How does electronegativity change as we move across a period? Explain why this occurs.
Electronegativity generally increases as we move across a period. This occurs because the trend is going lowest to highest from the bottom left corner to the upper right. This occurs because the number of protons in the nucleus goes up and the more protons there are the more they are attracting electrons.
