correct answer. For the extended response section, write your answer
in the space provided.

• 1) Palladium is part of the
  

  d-block
  transition metals
  group of elements with partially filled d sublevels
  all of the above
  none of the above
• 2) The element with the highest electronegativity is
  

  cesium
  fluorine
  neon
  iodine
  sodium
• 3) The correct electron configuration for copper is
  

  [Ar] (1s2)(2s2)(2p6)(3s1)
  [Kr] (4s2)(3d5)
  [Ar] (4s2)(3d7)
  [Ar] (4s2)(3d9)
  [Ar] (4s1)(3d10)
• 4) An element whose electron configuration ends in p4 is a
  

  representative element
  transition metal
  inner transition metal
  noble gas
  halogen
• 5) An element whose electron configuration ends in s2 is in group
  

  IA
  IB
  IIA
  IVB
  IVA
• 6) Tungsten is an element in the
  

  s-block
  p-block
  d-block
  f-block
  none of the above
• 7) An oxygen atom is smaller than a beryllium atom because
  

  the p sublevel is smaller than the s sublevel
  oxygen is a gas, while beryllium is a solid
  when they form a bond, beryllium gives electrons to oxygen
  increased nuclear charge pulls oxygen's electrons closer
  all of the above
• 8) Lithium is
  

  an alkali metal
  in the d-block
  an element with atoms smaller than that of nitrogen
  an element that gains electrons to form negative ions
  all of the above
• 9) Which has the largest atomic radius: molybdenum or zirconium? Explain.
  
• 10) Which has the largest ionic radius: Mg2+ or Ca2+? Explain.
  
• 11) Explain why there is a drastic increase in the ionic radius between
  carbon and nitrogen.
  
• 12) Which has the highest electronegativity: nitrogen or arsenic? Explain.
  
• 13) Explain why electronegativity values are not given for the noble gases.
  
• 14) Which has the highest electronegativity: strontium or tin? Explain.
  
• 15) What would the charge be on an ion formed by the potassium atom?
  
• 16) Which group would have electron configurations ending in s2?
  
• 17) Which has the higher atomic radius: rubidium or lithium? Explain.
  
• 18) Which is larger: the potassium atom (K) or the potassium ion (K+)?
  Explain.
  
• 19) Explain why metals generally have low ionization energies.
  
• 20) Which has the higher ionization energy: oxygen or nitrogen? Explain.
