Product Description
- Recognize the creator of the modern periodic table
- Define electronegativity and ionization energy
- State the periodic trends for atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy
- Explain the scientific reason for the aforementioned trends
- Accurately compare the size of cations and anions to their respective parent atoms
- Identify which atom in a pairing of two different atoms has a larger atomic radius, requires a higher ionization energy, and is more electronegative
- List three cations and three anions that are isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas
- Identify which group of elements has a low first ionization energy and a high second ionization energy, etc.
- Identify the units of measurement used to express ionization energy
- Identify which kind of atoms become cations and explain how they do so
- Identify which kind of atoms become anions and explain how they do so
- Explain why parent atoms want to become isoelectronic with the nearest noble gas
- Identify which blocks of elements hybridize to form the octet of valence electrons
- Predict whether two species are ready to form an ionic bond
- Explain why atoms in the same family exhibit similar behaviors
