test 6 the periodic table Flashcards
Mendeleev
father of periodic table
arranged elements according to atomic mass
noticed pattern in the properties of elements
had gaps in his periodic table
Moseley
1909
arranged the elements according to increasing atomic number and gaps disappeared
period
a horizontal row, there are 7, each ends with a noble gas
what does each period number indicate
number of occupied energy levels
group
vertical column
also called families
8 with Roman numerals and 18 with numbers
elements in a group have
similar chemical properties
group number indicates
the number of valence electrons
group IA is
alkali metals
group IIA is
alkaline metals
group IIIA is
Boron group
group IVA is
carbon group
group VA is
Nitrogen group
group VIIA is
Halogens
group VIIIA is
Noble Gases
group number indicates
number of valence electrons
maximum nmber of valence electrons
8
helium has how many VE
2 valence electrons
main-group elements are also called
representative elements
main-group elements include groups
1,2, 13-18
main group elements…
lose or gain electrons in the outer energy level
alkali metals
group 1, has 1 valence electron, loses 1 valence electron so they have a 1+ charge
most reactive metals
alkali metals because it takes less energy to lose one electron
alkaline metals
group 1, has 2 valence electrons, loses 2 valence electrons to have a 2+ charge
alkaline metals are less
alkaline metals are less reactive than alkali metals because it takes more energy to lose 2 electrons
halogens
group 17 or VIIA, has 7 valence electrons, gains 1 valence electron so they have a 1- charge
halogens react with ___ to form ___
alkali metals to form salts
most reactive non metals
halogens are because it takes less energy to gain 1 electron
nobles gases
group 18, all noble gases except helium have 2 valence electrons, low reactivity because outer energy level is full
hydrogen
reacts with many elements because it has 1 valence electron
hydrogen is sometimes placed
is group 1 or 17 because it loses and gains 1 electron, sometimes placed at top center
hydrogen is…
flammable
transition metals
groups 3-12, form colorful compounds
transition metals are…
less reactive than groups IA and IIA because they are multivalent
what does it mean that inner transition metals are multivalent
they can lose 1,2, or 3 electrons to have charges of 1+, 2+ or 3+
inner transition metals also called
rare earth elements
inner transition metals are
the two rows at the bottom of periodic table to keep narrow
lanthanides
first row of inner transition metals, named after lanthanum
actinides
second row of inner transition metals, named after actinium
actinides are
radioactive because their nucleus is unstable
