Periodic Table

A table that organizes elements based on their atomic number and properties.

Atomic Number

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which determines the element's identity.

Periods (Rows)

The number of electron shells in an atom, indicating the atom's size.

Groups (Columns)

Columns in the periodic table that group elements with similar chemical properties due to the same number of valence electrons.

Study Notes

Periodic Table of Elements - Achievement Test

  • The primary purpose of the periodic table is to organize elements based on their atomic number and properties.
  • Elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table share similar chemical properties, primarily due to having the same number of valence electrons.
  • An element's chemical behavior is determined by its electron arrangement.
  • The most reactive metals are found in Group 1 (Alkali metals).
  • Elements in Group 18 (Noble gases) are known for their inert and stable behavior, rarely reacting with other elements.
  • Chlorine (Group 17) typically forms a -1 ion.
  • Noble gases like neon typically do not react with other elements.
  • Elements in the same period (row) have the same number of electron shells.
  • Alkali metals (Group 1) are highly reactive with water.
  • Bromine is a nonmetal and halogen.
  • Elements with atomic number 12 belong to Group 2 (Alkaline earth metals).
  • Potassium is more reactive than lithium due to its valence electron being farther from the nucleus, allowing for easier removal.
  • Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine due to its smaller atomic radius, making it easier to gain an electron.
  • Reactivity of alkali metals increases as you go down Group 1.
  • Reactivity of halogens decreases as you go down Group 17.
  • Helium is the least reactive element among those listed.
  • Metalloids exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals.
  • Atomic radius decreases as you move across a period from left to right.
  • Ionization energy increases as you move across a period from left to right.
  • Ionic bonds typically form between elements in Group 1 and 17.
  • Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity.
  • Elements with 7 valence electrons belong to Group 17.
  • Iron is a transition metal.
  • Fluorine is highly reactive due to its high electronegativity and low ionization energy.
