Answers
1
Which of the following alkali metals has the highest melting point?
lithium
rubidium
sodium
potassium
2
First ionization energy decreases down the periodic table because valence electrons
are attracted by a smaller positive charge
move faster in outer energy levels
are further from the nucleus
3
Which chemist first recognized similarities between certain groups of 3 elements?
Johann Doberiener
Alexandre Beguyer de Chancourtois
John Newlands
Dmitri Mendeleev
4
First ionization energy increases (L to R) across the periodic table because valence electrons
screen the nucleus well
screen the nucleus poorly
move faster in outer energy levels
5

fluorine
neon
francium
lithium

7
Mendeleev's brilliance was shown by
leaving gaps for undiscovered elements
all of the others
swapping elements around where necessary
accurately predicting properties of undiscovered elements
8
