Question

1. the horizontal rows of the periodic table are called

a. groups c. families
b. periods d. orbitals

1. what information can you learn from the period number?

a. the number of valence electrons c. the number of electron orbitals/shells
b. the state of matter of the element d. the properties of the elements

1. the vertical columns of the periodic table are called

a. groups c. periods
b. transition groups d. pods

1. what can you learn from a group/family?

a. the state of matter of each element c. the number of electron orbitals/shells
b. the properties of all the elements d. the number of valence electrons in the group

1. what is the letter of the element in group 2, period5? how about group 7, period 4?
2. using the picture above, what is true about elements a, b, c, d?

a. they are in the same group c. they are all nonmetals
b. they are all in the same period d. they are all gases

1. what is true about elements w, x, y, z?

a. they are in the same group c. they are all nonmetals
b. they are all in the same period d. they are all metalloids

1. what letters represent the transition metals?
2. describe the location on the table of the metals, nonmetals and metalloids? draw the separator line

Explanation:

Answer:

(11) b. Periods
(12) c. the number of electron orbitals/shells
(13) a. Groups
(14) d. the number of valence electrons in the group
(15) Cannot be determined without element - key for the table
(16) a. They are in the same group
(17) b. They are all in the same period
(18) Cannot be determined without element - key for the table
(19) Metals are on the left - hand side and bottom of the periodic table, non - metals are on the right - hand side, and metalloids are along the staircase - like line separating metals and non - metals (but cannot draw the line as per instructions)
