Which of the following statements about the periodic table is false?
The vertical columns are called groups.
The vertical columns are called periods.
The vertical column contains elements whose atoms have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
Elements in the same period:
Have the same number of electron shells.
Have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
Have similar chemical properties.
Which statement is true?
Elements in Group 1 become more reactive as you move up the group.
Elements in Group 7 become more reactive as you move up the group.
Elements in Group 2 are less reactive than the elements in Group 0.
Elements in the transition element block of the periodic table:
Have ions of the same element with different charges.
Form white compounds.
Are placed between groups 1 and 2 of the periodic table.
Which statement correctly describes the changes Mendeleev made in the development of the periodic table?
He arranged the elements in order of atomic number, swapped some elements so that elements in the same group had similar properties and left gaps for discovered elements.
He arranged the elements in order of atomic weight, swapped some elements so that elements in the same group had different properties and left gaps for undiscovered elements.
He arranged the elements in order of atomic weight, swapped some elements so that elements in the same group had similar properties and left gaps for undiscovered elements.
