Atomic Structure and Periodic Table Trends Flashcards
Elements that have the most stable electron configurations.
Noble Gases
Element that forms a 2+ion to have the same electron configuration as Ar
Calcium
The diatomic gas in the s block.
Hydrogen
Elements that share properties of non metals and metals and are often used as semi conductors
Metalloids
Soft metals that react violently with water
Alkali Metals
Highly reactive colored gases
Halogens
Most reactive nonmetal
Flourine
Explain the relationship between electron arrangement, chemical properties and the arrangement of the periodic table
They are grouped according to valence electrons
Where in their group would you expect to find elements with the largest atoms
Bottom Left
Compare and contrast Noble gases and Halogens
They both are nonmetals. Halogens are Reactive and Noble gases are nonreactive
What properties can you use to tell the alkali , alkaline, and transition metals apart?
Alkali-Reacts with water
Alkaline-white compounds
Transition-colored compounds
Explain why alkaline earth metals are less reactive than alkali
They one have one electron to lose so its easier to lose it
What group of element is all gases
Noble gases
What group of elements are the most reactive NONMETALS
Halogens
What group of elements are the most reactive metals
Alkali
Why does the atomic radium decrease as you move across a period
Increase the nuclear charge by the addition of a positive charge
Why does electronegativity decrease as you move down a group
Move energy levels which causes shielding
What are the main properties of transition metals
Bright, shiny, colorful solutions
List three uses of the noble gases
Lasers, Lights, Welding
Atomic Radius
Down the period ___
Across the period ____
Down the period INCREASES
Across the period DECREASES
IE
Down the period ___
Across the period ____
Down the period DECREASES
Across the period INCREASES
EN
Down the period ___
Across the period ____
Down the period DECREASES
Across the period INCRESES
Why is the trend for ionization energy the same as that for electronegativity
Both increase and you move across and increase when they move up
Biggest radius metal
Cs
