Questions and Answers

Considering the trends in reactivity of Group VII elements, which statement correctly predicts the outcome of mixing chlorine gas with a solution of potassium iodide?

  • No reaction will occur as iodine is less reactive than chlorine.

  • Chlorine will displace iodine, forming potassium chloride and iodine. (correct)
  • Potassium will displace chlorine, forming potassium and chlorine iodide.

Based on the trends provided, which option correctly orders the halogens in terms of their strength as oxidizing agents, from strongest to weakest?

Periodic Table

A classification of elements based on atomic number, arranged in periods and groups.

Periods

Horizontal rows in the periodic table, numbered 1 to 7. Elements share the same number of electron shells.

Groups

Vertical columns in the periodic table, numbered I to VII and 0. Elements share similar chemical properties.

Group Number & Outer Electrons

Elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. This number matches the group number (for Groups I-VII).

Study Notes

  • The Periodic Table classifies elements based on their atomic number.
  • The modern periodic table consists of horizontal periods and vertical groups.
  • Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number.
  • Elements are arranged in relation to their electron structure.
  • Elements are arranged in realtion to their chemical properties.

Periods

  • Periods are horizontal rows of elements.
  • There are seven periods, numbered 1 to 7.
  • Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells.
  • Across a period, each element gains one proton and one electron compared to the previous element.
  • The chemical properties of elements across a period transition from metallic to non-metallic.

Groups

  • Groups are vertical columns of elements.
  • There are eight groups, numbered I to VII, plus group 0.
  • Elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell.
  • For elements in groups I to VII, the number of outer shell electrons are the same as the group number.
  • The common oxidation state for Groups I to IV corresponds to the group number.
  • The common oxidation state for Groups V to VII is is the group number minus 8.
  • Oxidation state measures electron control in a compound relative to the pure element.
