Lesson 2 Questions

1. Moseley's Periodic Table: It organizes elements according to their atomic numbers.

2. Modern Periodic Table: The current version of the periodic table arranged by increasing atomic

number and grouped by properties.

3. Nonmetals: Elements that lack metallic properties, often found on the right side of the periodic

table.

4. Valency: The combining power of an element, typically determined by the number of electrons in

the outer shell.

5. Melting Point: The temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid.

Give Reasons for the Following:

1. Moseley rearranged the elements according to atomic numbers because it explained the

periodicity of properties better than atomic mass.

2. Calcium is an alkaline earth element because it belongs to Group 2 and has similar properties to

other elements in that group, such as being reactive metals.

3. The valence of noble gases is zero because they have full outer electron shells, making them

chemically inert.

4. Different physical properties of atoms are due to variations in atomic size, mass, and electron

configuration.

5. Chlorine is considered a nonmetal due to its high electronegativity and inability to conduct

electricity.
Complete the Sentences:

1. The period ends with elements of the noble gases group and is preceded by the halogens group.

2. The second period begins with elements of the alkali metals group and ends with the noble gases

group.

3. The periodic table consists of 7 periods and 18 groups.

4. The periodic table consists of 4 blocks: s, p, d, and f.

5. Elements of the s-block are located at the left of the table and consist of 2 groups, while elements

of the f-block are located at the bottom of the table and consist of 2 groups.

6. Elements of the inert gases are located in the p-block, and their groups are Group 18.

7. Elements of the d-block are located in the middle of the table, and their groups are 10.

8. The boiling point of bromine is higher than that of chlorine.

9. Elements of the same group are similar in chemical properties and electron configuration.

10. The scientific basis for Mendeleev's periodic table was atomic mass, Moseley's table was based

on atomic number, and the modern periodic table is based on electron configuration and atomic

number.

11. Moseley discovered that the properties of elements are related to atomic number not atomic

mass.

12. Elements of the p-block begin with the Group 13 and end with the Group 18.

13. The groups of halogens and noble gases are located within the p-block.

14. All elements of the d-block are solid metals except mercury (Hg), which is a non-metal gas.

15. The number of elements in the first period is 2, while the number of elements in the fourth period

is 18.

16. Transition elements begin to appear from the fourth period.

17. The chemical activity of alkali metals increases as we go from top to bottom, while the chemical

activity of halogens decreases as we move from top to bottom.


18. The radius of the atom is measured in picometers (pm).

19. The radius is inversely proportional to the atomic number of elements in the same period.

20. Silicon and germanium are considered to be metalloids.

Calculate the Atomic Number for the Following:

1. Element located in the second period, group five: Nitrogen (Atomic Number = 7)

2. Metal element with binary valence located in the second period: Beryllium (Atomic Number = 4)

3. Non-metal element with binary valence located in the second period: Oxygen (Atomic Number =

8)

4. Element located at the beginning of the second period: Lithium (Atomic Number = 3)
