Extra Periodic Table Worksheet 2 Key
2. What is a group (or family)? column What is a period (or series)? row
3. How can you determine the number of electrons in an element’s outer energy level by the group it’s in?
elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons
4. What is the octet rule?
Properties are repeated every 8th element
5. Why do elements that make positive ions occur on the left side of the periodic table while those that
make negative ions occur on the right?
Elements on the left side of the periodic table have very low ionization energy as well as larger radii
and can lose electrons easily. Elements on the right side have high ionization energy as well as small
radii so they can attract extra electrons more easily than lose them.
6. What is the common name for group 18? Noble gas
Why do the elements of this group usually not form ions?
These elements have a full valence shell of electrons
7. Complete the following table.
Group Common Name Charge on Ions of this Group
1 Alkali metals +1
2 Alkaline Earth Metals +2
13 -------- +3
16 Chalcogens -2
17 Halogens -1
15. Name all the elements called metalloids. B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At
Dmitri Mendeleev developed a chart like arrangement of the elements called the 18. He stated that if the
elements were listed in order of increasing 5, their properties repeated in a regular manner. He called
this the 17 of the elements. The arrangement used today differs from that of Mendeleev in that the
elements are arranged in order of increasing 6. Each horizontal row of elements is called a(n) 16. Each
vertical column is called a(n) 9, or , because of the resemblance between elements in the same column,
a(n) 8.
In rows 4 through 7, there is a wide central section containing elements, each of which is called a(n) 20.
Rows 6 and 7 also contain two other sets of elements that are listed below the main chart. These are
called the 11 and the 1, respectively. Each of the elements to the left of the stair step line of the chart, is
classified as a(n) 12. Each of the elements at the right side of the stair step line is classified as a(n)
15. Each of the elements between these two main types, having some properties like one type and other
properties like the other type, is called a(n) 13. Each of the elements in the column 1 is called a(n) 2 .
Each of the elements in the column 2 is called a(n) 2. Each of the elements in column 17 is called a(n)
10. Each of the elements in column 18 is called a(n) 14.
