Group Properties of Elements Flashcards
horizontal rows and there are 7 of them arranged in increasing atomic number
Periods
vertical rows and elements in a group have similar
chemical properties
Family/Group
occupying the s and p-block
representative elements
(occupying the d-block
transition metal groups
those elements in which a
d-block orbital is filled partially, starting at Group
IIIB and ending at Group IIB
Transition elements
inner transition
metals
Lanthanides and Actinides
are protein precipitants, the
major exception being the alkali metals. Being
protein precipitants, metals especially heavy
metals are toxic
Metallic elements
destroying normal integrity of skin
Protein precipitation/precipitants
whitening agent due to
protein precipitation effect
Hg / Mercury
equally acidic and basic
Amphoteric
1st member of the
family can be quite unlike to the other members.
It more closely resembles the second member of
the adjacent group to the right
Diagonals/Bridge elements
The bridge element of Lithium
Magnesium
The bridge element of Beryllium
Aluminum
The bridge element of Boron
Silicon
measure of the energy
required to remove an electron by overcoming
the attractive forces of the nucleus
Ionization Potential
