    Study Notes

    Periodic Table Structure

    • The first period of the Periodic Table has 2 elements.
    • The second period of the Periodic Table starts with lithium (Li).
    • The third period of the Periodic Table starts with sodium (Na).

    Atomic Orbitals

    • A boron atom's 2p orbital has 1 electron.
    • The energy of the available orbitals 4d, 5s, and 5p increases in the order: 5s < 4d < 5p.
    • The 3d orbitals start to get filled at scandium (Sc, Z = 21).

    Electron Configuration

    • Scandium (Z = 21) has the electron configuration [Ar]3d¹4s².
    • Lithium (Li) in Group 1 has the electronic configuration [He]2s¹.
    • Elements in the same group or column exhibit similar properties due to the same number and distribution of electrons in their outermost orbitals.
    • The periodic dependence of an element's properties is determined by the electron configuration.

    Blocks in the Periodic Table

    • Elements in the same block have similar chemical behavior due to the same number and distribution of electrons in their outermost orbitals.

    Ionization Enthalpy

    • The size of isoelectronic species like F-, Ne, and Na+ is affected by the nuclear charge.
    • Ionization enthalpy increases with increasing nuclear charge.

    Valence Shell

    • The valence principal quantum number (n) primarily determines the energy level of an electron.
    • The valence shell is not affected by the atomic radius.

    Ionization Enthalpy Exceptions

    • The statement "ionization enthalpy always increases from left to right in a period" is incorrect.
    • The biggest jump in ionization enthalpy when removing an electron is expected for boron (B).
