3 - Periodicity Flashcards
Transition metals
D-block
Other metals, non metals and noble gases (periods 13-18)
P-block
Rows and columns are called -
Rows - periods
Columns - groups
What group are the halogens?
Group 17
The periodic table is arranged so properties -
Repeat periodically
Atomic radius down a group -
Increases
Atomic radius through a period -
Decreases
Why does atomic radius across a period decrease
Because there are more protons, so attraction increases but electrons are added to the same shells
Ionization energy across a period
Increases
Ionization energy across a group
Decreases
Electronegativity from left to right -
Increases because more protons in nucleus = more attraction of electrons
Electronegativity down a group
Electrons get further from nucleus, decreases
First two periods
S-block
What has less electronegativity and ionization energy?
Metals because of less electron affinity among valence electrons
