Analyze atomic size trends
Using the Periodic Table Trends knowledge point
- Atomic size decreases from left to right across a period due to increasing effective nuclear charge drawing electrons closer.
- Atomic size increases from top to bottom down a group as new electron shells are added.
- Therefore, atomic size generally decreases as you move from left to right across a period (Option d).
Compare atomic radii of specific elements
Using the Periodic Table Trends knowledge point
- The elements are sulfur (\(\text{S}\)), chlorine (\(\text{Cl}\)), selenium (\(\text{Se}\)), and bromine (\(\text{Br}\)).
- \(\text{S}\) and \(\text{Cl}\) are in Period 3; \(\text{Se}\) and \(\text{Br}\) are in Period 4. Period 3 atoms are smaller than Period 4 atoms.
- Between \(\text{S}\) and \(\text{Cl}\) in Period 3, size decreases from left to right, making \(\text{Cl}\) smaller than \(\text{S}\).
- Thus, chlorine has the smallest atomic radius (Option b).
Evaluate charges of common ions
Using the Periodic Table Trends knowledge point
- Group 1 metals form \(1+\) cations (e.g., \(\text{Li}^+\), \(\text{Na}^+\), \(\text{K}^+\), \(\text{Rb}^+\)).
- Group 2 metals form \(2+\) cations (e.g., \(\text{Ca}^{2+}\), \(\text{Mg}^{2+}\)).
- Group 13 metals form \(3+\) cations (e.g., \(\text{Al}^{3+}\)).
- Group 17 nonmetals form \(1-\) anions (e.g., \(\text{F}^-\), \(\text{Cl}^-\), \(\text{Br}^-\), \(\text{I}^-\)).
- Group 16 nonmetals form \(2-\) anions (e.g., \(\text{O}^{2-}\), \(\text{S}^{2-}\)).
- Looking at option b: \(\text{Ca}^{2+}\), \(\text{Al}^{3+}\), \(\text{Br}^-\) are all correct (Option b).
Determine electronegativity extremes
Using the Periodic Table Trends knowledge point
- Electronegativity increases up and to the right, excluding noble gases like helium which generally do not form bonds.
- Cesium (\(\text{Cs}\)) is at the bottom-left of the reactive elements, giving it the lowest electronegativity (Question 38, Option a).
- Fluorine (\(\text{F}\)) is at the top-right of the reactive elements, giving it the highest electronegativity (Question 39, Option d).
Compare ionic sizes and ion-to-atom relationships
Using the Periodic Table Trends knowledge point
- For Question 40, we compare \(\text{Li}^+\), \(\text{K}^+\), \(\text{O}^{2-}\), and \(\text{S}^{2-}\). Cations lose shells and are smaller than anions. \(\text{Li}^+\) has only 2 electrons in 1 shell, making it the smallest ionic radius (Option a).
- For Question 41, electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period (Option d).
- For Question 42, adding electrons to form an anion increases electron-electron repulsion, making the anion radius greater than its neutral atom (Option a).
