Periodic Trends and Groups card deck Flashcards
perioidic law
a law stating that the elements, when listed in order of their atomic numbers (originally, atomic weights), fall into recurring groups, so that elements with similar properties occur at regular intervals.
Metals
Solids (not mercury) good conductors shiny and malleable
Non metals
Gases or brittle solids and not shiny and usually bad conductors
Noble Gases
Nonreactive gases, Almost inert group (Like yo one friend that you would want to walk you home after a bitchin house party in the hills) They take up group 8. and have filled s and p levels in their highest energy level very stable. don’t want to lose or share anything with any other element.
Alkali Metals
Group one metals they are soft outer electron shell has an s 1 config most active metals and quickly react
Alkaline Earth Metals
Group 2 metals’ outer electron shell has an s2 config harder and less reactive than group 1 metals lose an electron and become ions with +2 charge
Transitiion metals
Groups 3-12 contain transition metals, which are harder and less reactive than 1&2, metals because the outer shells of these elements are filling the d orbital they are sometimes called d block elements
Atomic Radius
Determined by Atomic number
Down and to the left is increase patter
Ionization Energy
Energy needed to remove an Electron
Up and to the right increase
Shielding Effect
Inner Electrons shield nucleus and outer electrons not held as tight
cation
Gives electrons to bond
Anion
Takes electrons to bond
Ion
Net electric charge from loss or gain of electrons
Halogens
Group 7 form salts most reactive nonmetals
