Periodic table

Textbook Exercise 5.3

For the following questions state whether they are true or false. If they are false, correct the statement

  1. The group 1 elements are sometimes known as the alkali earth metals.

  2. The group 8 elements are known as the noble gases.

  3. Group 7 elements are very unreactive.

  4. The transition elements are found between groups 3 and 4.

Give one word or term for each of the following:

  1. The energy that is needed to remove one electron from an atom

  2. A horizontal row on the periodic table

  3. A very reactive group of elements that is missing just one electron from their outer shells.
