Study Notes

The Periodic Table

  • The periodic table organizes chemical elements.
  • Elements are arranged by atomic number.
  • Elements in the same vertical group have similar properties.
  • Elements in horizontal rows (periods) show trends in properties across.

Topic 8: Periodic Table

  • The periodic table is a crucial topic.
  • It includes key concepts such as atomic structure and chemical bonding.
  • Specific groups of elements, particularly alkali metals, halogens, and noble gases, are frequently tested.
  • Across a period (left to right):
    • Number of protons increases.
    • Atomic radius decreases.
    • Metallic properties decrease.
  • Down a group (top to bottom):
    • Number of protons increases.
    • Number of electron shells increases.
    • Atomic radius increases.
    • Metallic properties remain constant.

Ion Formation

  • Metallic elements form positive ions (cations).
  • Non-metallic elements form negative ions (anions).
  • The example of sodium (Na) forming Na⁺ and chlorine (Cl) forming Cl⁻.

Transition Metals

  • Transition metals are between Group II and III.
  • They have variable oxidation states.
  • Many are used as catalysts (like iron in the Haber process).

Alkali Metals

  • Alkali metals are Group I.
  • They have a low melting point.
  • Densities of alkali metals increase down the group.
  • Melting points decrease down the group.

Halogens

  • Halogens are Group VII.
  • Reactivity decreases down the group.
  • They commonly exist as diatomic molecules.

Noble Gases

  • Noble gases are in Group 0.
  • They are unreactive (inert).
  • They have a fully filled valence shell.

Try it Yourself Questions (TYS)

  • Question 19: Elements P and S react most vigorously.
  • Question 20: Chlorine and bromine (or chlorine and iodine) together would be a valid pair.
