Study Notes
HOFBrINCl
- Represents the diatomic gases in the periodic table: Hydrogen, Oxygen, Fluorine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Chlorine.
Diatomic Molecules
- Consist of two atoms that aim to fill their valence shells by pairing electrons, often leading to increased stability.
Atomic Size Trends in the Periodic Table
- As you move from top to bottom, atom size increases due to the addition of electron shells.
- As you move from right to left, atom size also increases due to reduced positive charge from the nucleus on outer electrons.
Reactivity Trends
- Reactivity increases as you move away from the "staircase" in the periodic table.
- Among two metals that are close in the periodic table, the less electronegative one is more reactive.
Charges in the Periodic Table
- Charges range: +1, +/-1, +2, +3, +/-4, -3, -2, -1, 0.
- The charge of an atom is determined by the number of electrons in its outer shell.
Group 2 Elements
- Elements in the second column have a charge of +2 because they typically lose two electrons to achieve stability.
Triangle of Death
- Comprises Silver, Cadmium, and Zinc, which are notable for their specific charge properties (+1 for Silver, +2 for Cadmium and Zinc).
