    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.
