Study Notes
Structure of the Modern Periodic Table
- Consists of 18 vertical groups and 7 horizontal rows.
- Divided into four blocks:
- Block S
- Block P
- Block D
- Block F
Gradation of Properties
-
Atomic Radius:
- Defined as the distance between the centers of two identical atoms in a molecule.
- In rows:
- Atomic size decreases with an increase in atomic number.
- This occurs due to the increased positive charge in the nucleus while electrons are added at the same energy level, leading to minimal shielding effect.
- In columns:
- Atomic size increases with an increase in atomic number.
- New energy levels are added, distancing electrons from nuclear charge.
- Full energy levels shield outer electrons from the nucleus's attractive force.
-
Ionic Size:
- For positive ions:
- Removal of outer electrons results in the nucleus holding a greater positive charge than the total negative charge from the remaining electrons.
- For positive ions:
