    Study Notes

    Periodic Table

    • The periodic table is a chart that organizes elements by their atomic number and properties.
    • The vertical columns of the periodic table are called Groups and are numbered 1 to 8.
    • "A series" elements are representative or main group elements.
    • "B series" elements are transition or subgroup elements.
    • Group 1A metals are called the alkali metals.
    • Group 2A metals are called the alkaline earth metals.
    • Group 7A elements are called the halogens.
    • Group 8A elements are called the rare gases or noble gases.

    Elements

    • Each horizontal row of the periodic table is called a period.
    • The Lanthanide series consists of elements cerium (Z = 58) to lutetium (Z = 71).
      • The lanthanide series is also sometimes called the rare earth series.
    • The Actinide series consists of elements thorium (Z = 90) to lawrencium (Z = 103).

    Electron Configuration

    • 1s is the first energy level in the electron shell.
