All questions with answers
  1. Ionisation energy generally across a period from left to right:

    • 1 Decreases
    • 2 Increases
    • 3 Stays constant
    • 4 Becomes zero
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Increases

    Nuclear charge rises and atomic size falls, so electrons are held more tightly.

  2. Which element has the highest electronegativity?

    • 1 Fluorine
    • 2 Oxygen
    • 3 Nitrogen
    • 4 Chlorine
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Fluorine

    Fluorine is the most electronegative element.

  3. Atomic radius down a group:

    • 1 Decreases
    • 2 Is constant
    • 3 Doubles each time
    • 4 Increases
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Increases

    More shells are added.

  4. Which of these has the largest radius?

    • 1 Na
    • 2 Cl
    • 3 Mg
    • 4 Al
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Na

    Radius falls across period 3, so Na is the largest.

  5. Electron affinity is the energy change when an atom:

    • 1 Gains a proton
    • 2 Gains an electron
    • 3 Gains a neutron
    • 4 Loses an electron
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Gains an electron

    It measures how readily an atom accepts an electron.

  6. The first ionisation energy is the energy needed to remove:

    • 1 All electrons
    • 2 The outermost electron from a gaseous atom
    • 3 A neutron
    • 4 A proton
    Show answer

    Correct answer: The outermost electron from a gaseous atom

    It is defined for a gaseous atom.

  7. Metallic character down a group:

    • 1 Vanishes
    • 2 Stays the same
    • 3 Decreases
    • 4 Increases
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Increases

    Atoms lose electrons more easily as they get larger.

  8. An ion that is larger than its parent atom is an:

    • 1 Anion
    • 2 Isotope
    • 3 Cation
    • 4 Isobar
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Anion

    Gaining electrons increases the size.
