    Study Notes

    Periodic Table Organization

    • The periodic table organizes elements by increasing atomic number.
    • Elements with similar properties are grouped together.

    Periods

    • Horizontal rows are called periods.
    • Periods correspond to the highest energy level occupied by an element's electron.
    • Elements in the same period have varying properties.

    Groups/Families

    • Vertical columns are called groups or families.
    • Elements in the same group generally share similar chemical and physical properties due to similar valence electron configurations.

    Group A Elements (Representative Elements)

    • Includes groups 1, 2, 13-18.
    • Elements in these groups are called representative elements.
    • Electron configurations determine the number of valence electrons.

    Group B Elements (Transition Metals, Lanthanides, Actinides)

    • Includes transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides.
    • Transition metals are elements in groups 3-12.
    • Lanthanides have atomic numbers 57-71.
    • Actinides have atomic numbers 89-103.
    • Transition metals connect left- and right-hand sides of the periodic table.

    Metallic Properties

    • Some elements are metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
    • Metals have properties like malleability, ductility, and conductivity.
    • Nonmetals have properties like poor conductivity.
    • Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
    • Several properties trend across the periodic table (e.g., ionization energy, electronegativity, atomic radius, metallic/nonmetallic character).
    • Ionization energy (energy to remove an electron) increases across a period and decreases down a group.
    • Electronegativity (ability to attract electrons) increases across a period and decreases down a group.
    • Atomic radius increases down a group and decreases across a period.
    • Metallic character increases down a group and decreases across a period.
    • Nonmetallic character increases across a period and decreases down a group.

    Electron Affinity

    • Refers to the energy change when an atom gains an electron.
    • Nonmetals generally have high electron affinity.
    • Electron affinity generally increases across a period and decreases down a group
