periodic table puzzle #1

directions: the following are the eight families of the short periodic table. they are in no particular order. it is your job to place them in the proper location on the periodic table shown above.

AOU, BVW, CKM, DLQ, ENT, FIJ, GPY, HRS

the following clues are given:

A has only one electron in a p orbital

B is more electronegative than V

C has a bigger radius than both M and W

D forms 1- ions easily

E is able to form 1+ ions easily

F has a smaller ionization energy than J

G has only one energy level with any electrons

H has one more proton than O and is in the same period as O

I is the largest alkaline earth metal

J has one more proton than E

K forms the compound E3K

L has more filled energy levels than D

M is larger than K

N is the largest in its family

O is smaller than F, but with the same valence level as F

P is smaller than Y

Q is the most active nonmetal

R has the highest electronegativity in its family

S has a lower ionization energy than H

T is the lightest member of its family

U more easily loses electrons than either A or O

V forms 2- ions

W has 3 completely filled energy levels

Y has the lowest ionization energy in its family
