Q.1
The periodic table was originally arranged in order of atomic mass. We now know that it is the electron arrangement that determines how the elements react. Which of the following is the correct description of how you work out the electron arrangement of the first 20 elements?
  • There can be up to 8 electrons in each energy level (shell)
  • There must be 8 electrons in every energy level (shell)
  • There is a maximum of 2 in the first energy level (shell) and up to 8 in the rest
  • You can have up to 4 in the first energy level (shell) and 8 in the others
Q.2
Where do you find the metals and non-metals in the periodic table?
  • Metals on the right, non-metals on the left
  • Non-metals in the middle surrounded by the metals
  • Metals in the middle surrounded by the non-metals
  • Metals on the left, non-metals on the right
Q.3
Which of the following statements best describes the elements in a period?
  • The elements in a period have different chemical properties
  • The elements in a period have the same chemical properties
  • The elements in a period have similar chemical properties
  • The elements in a period are inert
Q.4
Lithium is at the top of GroupIt reacts with water to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen. Rubidium is lower down the group, when it reacts with water it produces what?
  • Rubidium hydroxide and hydrogen
  • Rubidium sulfate and oxygen
  • Rubidium hydride and hydrogen
  • Rubidium carbonate and helium
Q.5
Group 8 is sometimes numbered as group 0 or groupWhat are the elements of this periodic table group called and why are they unreactive?
  • Noble solids and they have 8 electrons in their outer energy level (shell)
  • Noble liqids and they have 8 electrons in their outer energy level (shell) except helium which has 2
  • Noble gases and they have a complete (full) outer energy level (shell)
  • Noble elements and they have an empty outer energy level (shell)
Q.6
Which of the following is true about the elements in a group?
  • They all have different chemical properties
  • They all have the same chemical properties
  • They all have similar chemical properties
  • They are all unreactive
Q.7
The elements are arranged in groups and periods. What is a period on the table?
  • A vertical column
  • A horizontal row
  • A diagonal row
  • A block of columns
Q.8
Where do you find the transition metals?
  • The central block
  • Left and right hand side blocks
  • At the top
  • Near the bottom
Q.9
How are the elements of the periodic table arranged?
  • They are arranged in ascending order of atomic number
  • They are arranged in ascending order of atomic mass
  • They are arranged in descending order of atomic number
  • They are arranged in descending order of atomic mass
Q.10
Why do elements of the same group have similar chemical properties?
  • They all have 1 electron in the outer energy level (shell)
  • They have different atomic masses
  • They have different numbers of electrons in the outer energy level (shell)
  • They all have the same number of electrons in the outer shell
