The Periodic Table Flashcards
Periodic Law
chemical/physical properties of elements are dependent in a periodic fashion based off of atomic numbers
The seven periods represent
seven rows based on quantum numbers n=1-7 for s and p blocked elements
Groups/Families
columns
Elements with the same electronic config in valence shell share…
similar chemical properties
Why valence electrons form chemical bonds…
because they are less tightly held by nucleus and hold high potential energy
A elements
representative elements
IA - VIIA
orbitals in s or p shells
B Elements
non representative elements
transition elements, lanthanide and actinide series
s & d, s & f subshells
Metals are found in the _
left and middle side of the periodic table
Metals contain the following:
active metals , transition metals , lanthanide and actinide
Metal Properties
Lustrous High mp and density Maleable Ductile Good Conductor
Atomic Metal Properties
Low effective nuclear charge low electronegativity large atomic radius small ionic radius low ionization energy low electron affinity
all together make metals easy to give up electrons!!!!
Oxidation States
charges formed when forming bonds with other atoms
Metals are good conductors because..
they have free moving electrons
Active Metal Subshell
s
Transition Metal Subshells
s and d
Lanthanide and Actinide Subshells
s and f
Nonmetals are found predominantly on the
upper right side of periodic table
Nonmetal Properties
Brittle as solids
Little to no metallic luster
Poor Conductors
Nonmetal Atomic Properties
small atomic radii (opposite of metals)
large ionic radii (opposite of metals)
Hard to give up electrons!!!
Metalloid Properties
electronegativity/ionization between that of metals (loq) and nonmetals (high)
others (density, mp, etc) vary widely
