Study Notes
Alkali Metals
- Have a +1 charge and possess 1 valence electron.
Alkaline Earth Metals
- Carry a +2 charge with 2 valence electrons.
Transition Metals
- Positioned in the center of the periodic table, known for varied oxidation states and ability to form colored compounds.
Halogens
- Contain 7 valence electrons and have a -1 charge.
Noble Gases
- Feature 8 valence electrons (except helium which has 2) and have a 0 charge, known for their inertness.
Rare Earth Metals
- A group of 15 elements from lanthanum to lutetium, often exhibit similar properties and are found in the f-block.
Nonmetals
- Elements typically poor conductors of heat and electricity, can gain or share electrons in chemical reactions.
Metalloids
- Have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals, often exhibit semiconducting behavior.
Charge of Group 1 (1A)
- Elements in this group have a charge of +1.
Charge of Group 2 (2A)
- Elements in this group carry a charge of +2.
Charge of Group 3A (13)
- Elements in this group possess a charge of +3.
Charge of Group 5A (15)
- Elements in this group have a charge of -3.
Charge of Group 6A (16)
- Elements in this group exhibit a charge of -2.
Charge of Group 7A (17)
- Elements in this group have a charge of -1.
Charge of Group 8A (18)
- Elements in this group have a charge of 0.
Periods
- Horizontal rows in the periodic table indicating elements with the same number of electron shells.
Groups
- Vertical columns on the periodic table that group elements with similar properties and the same number of valence electrons.
Atomic Mass
- Historically used by Mendeleev to arrange the periodic table based on the mass of elements.
Atomic Number
- The modern periodic table is organized by the atomic number, representing the number of protons in an atom.
Energy Levels
- Elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels, also known as electron shells or orbitals.
Valence Electrons
- Elements in the same group share the same number of valence electrons, impacting their chemical behavior.
Metals
- Comprise the majority of the periodic table, characterized by good conductivity and malleability.
Valence Electrons in Group 15
- Elements in group 15 have 5 valence electrons.
Valence Electrons in Group 16
- Elements in group 16 possess 6 valence electrons.
