Correct Answer: D Reporting Chemistry Category Standard Matter SC.912.P.8.5 Benchmark Number Relate properties of atoms and their position in the periodic table to the Benchmark arrangement of their electrons. Also Assesses None Specified Item Types Multiple Choice Moderate Cognitive Complexity Type The student will explain how the position of an atom on the periodic table Benchmark directly relates to its electron configuration. Clarification The student will identify that the electron configuration of an atom determines its physical and chemical properties. The student will identify that the group an atom is in on the periodic table corresponds to the number of valence electrons and the orbital those valence electrons occupy. The student will interpret that the atoms of a group on the periodic table have the same electron arrangements and therefore similar chemical and physical properties. The student will determine the number of valence electrons. Content Limits The student will not draw a Lewis dot structure or complete an orbital diagram and/or an electron diagram for a particular atom. The student may be required to know the chemical and physical properties of groups of elements on the periodic table.
