Study Notes
Modern Periodic Table Organization
- Elements are organized by atomic number, not atomic mass or mass number.
- Elements in the same group share similar characteristics primarily due to having the same number of valence electrons.
Specific Groups and Periods
- Group 17 and Period 3: Chlorine is the element that fits this description.
- Element with atomic number 12 is in Group 2, Period 3, indicating it is Magnesium.
Group Characteristics
- Group 18 elements are known as noble gases.
- As you move left to right across a period, metallic character decreases due to increasing electronegativity and ionization energy.
Atomic Radius and Reactivity
- The element with the largest atomic radius among Sodium (Na), Magnesium (Mg), Aluminium (Al), and Silicon (Si) is Sodium (Na).
- Among alkali metals, Rubidium (Rb) is the most reactive.
Periodic Law and Trends
- Elements exhibit similar chemical properties at regular intervals according to their atomic number.
- The periodic law states that the properties of elements are a periodic function of their atomic number.
Electronegativity and Ionization Energy
- The most electronegative element in the periodic table is Fluorine.
- Ionization energy typically increases across a period and decreases down a group.
Modern Periodic Table Misconceptions
- Statements regarding the periodic table:
- Elements are arranged by increasing atomic number.
- Non-metals are found on the right-hand side, while metals occupy the left.
- True positioning confirms that noble gases are indeed in Group 18, contrary to misconceptions.
Ionic and Chemical Properties
- In the context of ionization energy:
- Sodium has the lowest ionization energy compared to Aluminium, Chlorine, and Phosphorus.
Alkali Metals Group
- Alkali metals are exclusively located in Group 1, which includes elements like Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium.
