Study Notes
Key Characteristics of Groups in the Periodic Table
- Group 7A consists of the most reactive nonmetals.
- Group 1A elements arranged from most to least reactive: Francium, Cesium, Rubidium, Potassium, Sodium, Lithium.
- Group 7A elements ordered by reactivity: Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine.
- Group 6A elements have more valence electrons than Group 2A elements.
Atomic Mass and Definitions
- Atomic mass unit (amu) is defined as one-twelfth the mass of a carbon-12 atom.
- The unit of atomic mass is amu.
- The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element's nucleus.
Mendeleev and the Periodic Table
- Mendeleev organized elements in the periodic table by increasing mass.
- His periodic table was confirmed useful through the discovery of elements with predictive properties.
- Enabled predictions of unknown element properties.
Properties of Elements
- As you move left to right in the periodic table, the number of valence electrons increases.
- The tendency of an element to react is closely related to its number of valence electrons.
- Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, with boron, silicon, germanium, and arsenic recognized as metalloids.
Reactivity in Elements
- Alkali metals are generally more reactive than alkaline earth metals within the same period.
- Reactive elements, such as alkali metals and halogens, exist only in nature as compounds.
- Beryllium has two valence electrons; boron, with three valence electrons, shows increasing nonmetallic properties.
Transition Metals and Group Information
- Cadmium is identified as a transition metal among elements in period 5, sandwiched between strontium and iodine.
- When comparing valence electrons, elements X (one valence electron) and Y (one valence electron) share similar properties.
Specific Elements and Compounds
- Carbon is a vital element found in most compounds in the human body, excluding water.
- Sodium chloride is composed of sodium (alkali metal) and chlorine (halogen).
- Strontium (element 38) is more reactive than beryllium (element A) among alkaline earth metals.
Periodic Table Layout
- Elements can be examined across periods or down groups; for example, elements 23 to 26 are looked at across a period.
- Elements in the periodic table display repeating properties from row to row, indicating structured relationships among different element groups.
