Study Notes
Classification of Elements
- Representative elements are categorized as group A elements.
- Electron configuration of chlorine is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵, indicating its location in the periodic table.
- Gallium is located in group 4A and period 3 of the periodic table.
- The electron configurations of elements influence their chemical and physical properties, establishing a fundamental relationship.
Periodic Table Structure
- A period refers to a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table, indicating progression in atomic number across the row.
- Groups represent vertical columns in the periodic table, grouping elements with similar properties.
Electron Configurations and Element Types
- Inner transition metals are characterized by having the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel with electrons.
- Representative elements have partially filled outermost s or p sublevels, influencing their reactivity and bonding behavior.
- Transition metals feature outermost s sublevel and nearby d sublevel containing electrons, distinguishing them from other element types.
Noble Gases
- Noble gases are elements where the outermost s and p sublevels are completely filled, contributing to their inert nature.
Electron Configurations in Period 3
- The outer electron configurations for atoms in period 3 are: Lithium (Li) - 1s² 2s¹, Magnesium (Mg) - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s², Aluminum (Al) - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹, and Argon (Ar) - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶.
