Study Notes
Periodic Table
- The vertical columns on the Periodic Table are called Groups and are numbered 1 to 8.
- Groups 1A contain the alkali metals.
- Groups 2A contain the alkaline earth metals.
- Groups 7A contain the halogens.
- Groups 8A contain the noble gases.
- The horizontal rows on the Periodic Table are called periods.
- The first two rows of the periodic table are referred to as "A series", which comprise the representative or main group elements.
- Transition elements are referred to as "B series".
- In the sixth and seventh periods, two series of elements are found. These branch off from group 3B.
- Elements cerium (Z = 58) to lutetium (Z = 71) are called the lanthanide series or the rare earth series.
- Elements thorium (Z = 90) to lawrencium (Z = 103) are called the actinide series.
Electron Configuration
- The electron configuration describes the arrangement of electrons in the atomic orbitals of an atom.
- The 1s orbital is the lowest energy level and can hold 2 electrons.
