Q

Periodicity

A

the quality or character of being periodic; the tendency to recur at intervals. The periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements recur in a systematic and predictable way when the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.

Q

Representative metals

A
  • First two columns, minus H, plus Al
  • Always loses the same amount of electrons when they lose ions
  • Form ions that always have the same charge
17
Q

Nonmetals

A
  • Elements to the right of metalloids, plus H
  • Opposite of metals
  • Not malleable
  • Not ductile
  • Doesn’t conduct hear and electricity
  • Many valence electrons
18
Q

Lanthanide and Actinide series

A
  • 2 different series*
  • Make up the inner-transitional metals*
  • Two rows of elements at the bottom
  • Lanthanides is the top one
  • Actinides is the bottom one
  • F block elements
  • Actually wedged between groups 3 and 4
  • Shiny metals
  • Similar in reactivity to Group 2 alkaline-earth metals
19
Q

To determine sublevels (generally):

A
  • S includes the alkali and alkaline earth metals
  • P includes the nonmetals
  • D includes the transition metals
  • F includes the inner transition or rare earth metals
20
Q

To determine charge of the common ions

A
  • Corresponds to the column number
  • Only works for columns 1, 2, and 13-18 but we still refer to 13-18 3-8
    • column number for 1-3
    • for number of columns away from the nobel gases for 5-7
  • column 4 can be + or –
  • column 8 has no charge
  • Ex. Be is +2, N is -3, and Si is + or – 4
21
Q

To determine number of energy levels

A
  • Number of valence electrons=family/group/column
  • Row number (horizontal)= number of energy levels
  • Only works for S and P block
  • D block- number of energy levels= row #(n)-1
  • F block- number of energy levels= row #(n)-2
  • Ex. H has one, Al has 3, Hg has 5, and Th has 5
22
Q

Basically everything has to do with

A

columbic attraction (attraction of negatively charged electrons to the positively charged nucleus) and the size of the radius. Smaller radius= larger columbic attraction since there is a smaller distance between the nucleus and electrons (think of magnets)=easier to gain electrons. Larger radius=lower columbic attraction since there is a bigger distance between nucleus and electrons.

23
Q

Ionization energy

A
  • The energy required to remove AN electron from a neutral atom of an element in a gaseous state.
  • Ionization energy increases as the atomic radius decreases (Larger radius=easier to remove electrons)
  • Increases from left to right on the periodic table
24
Q

Electron affinity

A
  • The energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom.
  • The more nonmetallic, the higher the electron affinity
  • Increases right and up on the periodic table
25
Q

Atomic radius

A
  • Half the distance between the nuclei of identical atoms that are bonded together.
  • Radius increases down a group because of increasing energy levels
  • Radius decreases across a period due to the increasing positive charge of the radius
  • Increases down and left on periodic table
26
Q

Ionic radius

A
  • The distance away from the central atom.
  • Ionic radius decrease from left to right as nuclear charge increases on cations until anions are reached and then the radius sharply increases due to the additional energy levels with anion formation.
  • Ionic radius increases down a groups as the number of energy levels increase
27
Q

Metallic characteristics

A
  • Characteristics of metals.
  • The easier an element loses electrons, the more metallic it is considered
  • More metallic down a group because of increasing number of energy levels
  • Increases right to left because of decreased ionization energy
  • The further left and down on the periodic table, the more metallic in character.
28
Q

Electronegativity

A
  • Measure of the ability of an atom in a compound to attract electrons from another atom in a compound.
  • More nonmetallic, the electronegativity increases
  • Increases right and up on periodic table since the radius is smaller and there is more of an attraction to the nucleus (columbic attraction), making it easier for it to gains electrons.
29
Q

Periodic law

A

The periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of the elements recur in a systematic and predictable way when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.

30
Q

Mendeleev

A
  • Came to him in a dream
  • Russian chemist proposed an organization scheme of all the know elements based on valence electrons and atomic weight
  • Predicted the existence of 8 new elements and their masses
31
Q

Doberiener

A
  • German chemist who is best known for work that foreshadowed the periodic for the chemical element
  • Discovered trends in certain properties of select groups of elements
  • Proposed the Law of Triads
32
Q

Meyer

A
  • German scientist best known for his part in the periodic classification of the elements
  • Organized 28 elements by atomic weight and valence electrons
  • Came before Mendeleev- possibly sent to him
33
Q

A
  • Came to him in a dream
  • Russian chemist proposed an organization scheme of all the know elements based on valence electrons and atomic weight
  • Predicted the existence of 8 new elements and their masses
34
Q

Series/period

A

A horizontal row of elements on the periodic table

35
Q

Families

A

A group of elements with similar chemical properties. Chemical families tend to be associated with the vertical columns on the periodic table (ex. Alkali, Alkaline earth metals, halogens, and Noble gasses)

36
Q

Group

A

A column of elements on the periodic table.

37
Q

Calculate number of Protons, neutrons, and electrons

A
  • Protons=atomic number ALWAYS- protons do not change because they define the element
  • Electrons=Atomic number unless ion says otherwise
  • Neutrons= Atomic mass-atomic number
