What happens when we go across the periodic table?
Atomic size decreases
Number of valence electrons increases
Electronegativity increases
Oxidising nature increases
What happens when we go down the group on the periodic table?
Atomic size increases
Number of valence electrons remains the same
Electronegativity decreases
Oxidising nature decreases
What is the definition of organic chemistry?
The chemistry of carbon compounds.
What are atomic orbitals?
Electrons are grouped into different shells at different distances from the nucleus.
What is the principle quantum number
n
Is the number of shells
How many electrons can each shell contain?
2n*2
