Who was Dmitri Mendeleev and what did he do?
Russian chemist who developed the first periodic table of the chemical elements and predicted the discovery of several new elements.
The energy required to remove the first electron from a neutral atom. Increases from left to right across a period. Decreases from top to bottom on a group. (Highest is Fluorine)
Ionization Energy
The periodic trend that predicts how atoms combine with each other; ability to attract electrons; measures the attraction of bonded atoms to electrons. Increases from left to right. Decreases when moving down a group. (Highest is Fluorine)
Electronegativity
The change in energy when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form an anion. Increases from left to right. Decreases from right to left from a group down. (Highest is Chlorine)
Electron Affinity
Distance from the center of the atom’s nucleus to its outermost electron. Increases from right to left when moving down a group from top to bottom. Decreases from right to left when moving across a period.
Atomic Radius
Referred to as brimstone in the Bible and exists in a variety of forms, including yellow, brittle, crystalline solid in its native form.
Sulfur
Good conductors of heat and electricity; usually hard, lustrous, malleable, shiny, and ductile. (Nickle, Zinc)
Metals
The element makes up 21% of the earth’s atmosphere and is the most abundant in the earth’s crust. It’s essential for life in all animals and humans. Exists as a diatomic or triatomic gas.
Oxygen
Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, or sulfur; generally gasses or soft solids.
Nonmetals
The periodic trend that predicts how atoms combine with each other; ability to attract electrons.
Electronegativity
Nitrogen Family( Group 15); nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, muscovium.
Pnictogens
The lightest and most abundant element in the universe, is extremely flammable in air, and is used in the industrial production of ammonia.
Hydrogen
In general, where are the nonmetals located on the periodic table?
The far right side.
Why do elements in the same family have similar physical and chemical properties?
They have similar electron configurations.
Having characteristics of both metals and nonmetals; semiconductors (boron, silicon, arsenic, germanium, antimony, and tellurium)
Metalloids
(T or F) High electronegativities are associated with large ionization energies and high electron affinities.
True
A larger atomic radius means a __________ ionization energy; a smaller atomic radius means a __________ ionization energy.
Smaller; larger
The group of elements that tends to have the strongest electron affinity.
Halogens (Group 17)
