    Study Notes

    • Rank by increasing atomic radius: carbon < oxygen < aluminium < potassium
    • Atomic radius increases down a group due to additional energy levels (shells) being added.
    • Rank by increasing electronegativity: aluminium < sulfur < oxygen < neon
    • Nonmetals typically show high ionization energy and high electronegativity, with fluorine exhibiting the highest electronegativity.

    Ionization Energy

    • Fluorine has a higher ionization energy than iodine because it is located higher on the periodic table.
    • The ionization energy of Group 1 elements decreases as elements go from top to bottom due to an increasing radius and shielding effect.

    Valence Electrons and Group Properties

    • Elements in the same family share similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.
    • As elements are observed down Group 2, the number of principal energy levels increases while the number of valence electrons remains constant.

    Atomic Structure

    • Magnesium has a smaller atomic radius than sodium primarily due to a larger nuclear charge.
    • Group 2 elements: total number of valence electrons for calcium and strontium is the same.

    Electron Configurations

    • A transition metal is classified as an element with a partially filled d sublevel in its ground state.
    • Example of electron configuration for transition element: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁵.
    • Elements in Period 5 with transition elements include silver (Ag).
    • The largest atomic radius among selected elements: K (potassium).
    • Noble gas with the highest first ionization energy: helium.
    • Decreasing atomic radii order: Al > Si > P.
    • Group 2 elements arranged by increasing atomic radius: Be < Mg < Ca.

    General Properties

    • As atomic number increases in Group 15, atomic radius increases.
    • Electronegativities of group elements: Group 17 element with least attraction for electrons is iodine (I).
    • Group 16 element with greatest tendency to gain electrons is oxygen (O).

    Chemical Bonding

    • The strength of an atom's attraction for electrons in a chemical bond is termed electronegativity.
    • Relative electronegativity and covalent radius increase successively from lithium (Li) to fluorine (F).

    Family Characteristics

    • All elements in Group 16 share the same number of valence electrons.
    • First ionization energy for Group 1 elements generally increases in relation to decreasing atomic radius.

    Key Element Identification

    • Group 17 element with the highest electronegativity is fluorine.
    • Identification of halogen family member: I (iodine).
