Chemistry Test 5 Flashcards
The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers
Periodic law
an arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers so that elements with similar properties fall in the same column or group
The Periodic Table
are the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 58 to 71
Lanthanides
Are the 14 elements with atomic numbers from 90 to 103
Actinides
The elements of Group 1 of the periodic table
Alkali metals
The elements of Group 2 of the periodic table are called the
alkaline-earth metals
The d-block elements are metals with typical metallic properties and are often referred to as
transition metals
The p-block elements together with the s-block elements are called the
main-group elements
The elements of Group 17 are known as
halogens
one-half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together
Atomic radius
an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge
Ion
Any process that results in the formation of an ion is referred to as
Ionization
The energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element
Ionization energy
The energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom
Electron affinity
A positive ion
