Chapter 3.2 Notes Flashcards
How many electrons are considered a full set
8
How do u determine the number of balance electrons for group numbers 1-2
The group number= number of valence electrons
How do u determine the number of balance electrons for group numbers 13-18
The second number(ex: group 15 has 5 valence electrons)
How do u determine the number of balance electrons for group numbers 2-12
Rebels; they don’t follow a general rule
How many electrons do the the 1st,2nd, and 3rd levels hold
1st: 2
2nd: 8
3rd: 18
Where do u look when determine the number of valence electrons
Group
Where do u look when determining the number of energy levels
Period
All elements on a period have the same number of
Rings
Why does helium, with only 2 valence electrons grouped with noble gases
It’s outermost she’ll is completely full making it nonreactive
Are group one and two very reactive
Yesssss!!!!
Group 1:Alkali metals
Soft-can be cut with knife, very low density
Alkali metal+water=
Hydrogen gas
Group 2: Alkaline-earth metals
Not as reactive as group 1 metals, more stable
Group 3-12: transition metals
Less likely to lose valence electrons, more stable elements
Lanthanides
Shiny, reactive, used in steel making
