bring together elements with similar properties.
The vertical groups
are arranged in order of increasing atomic number from left to right. The groups are numbered at the top. and the periods at the extreme left in the periodic table on the inside front cover.
The horizontal periods
The first two groups
the s block-
the last six groups
the p block
together constitute the main-group elements
S block and p block
are known as the transition elements.
The d-block elements
The f-block elements
sometimes called the innertransition elements
sometimes called the innertransition elements
The f-block
the f-block elements are extracted from the table and placed at the bottom
The 14 elements following lanthanum (Z = 57) are called
lanthanides
actinium
actinides.
Have a shiny luster various colors,
although most are silvery
Solids are malleable and ductile
Good conductors of heat and electricity
Mest metal oxides ave ionic solids that
are basic
Tend to for cations in aqueous solution
Metals
Donot have a luster: various colors
Salids are usuallvbrittle: some are hard.
and some are soft
Poor conductors of heat and electricity Mest nonmetallic oxides are molecular
substences that formacid ic solutions
Tend to form anions or orvanions in
aqueous solution
Nonmetals
are elements that look like metals and in some ways behave like metals, but also have some nonmetallic properties.
Metalloids
Atomic Properties and Periodic Table
●Atomic size
●Metallic and Non-metallic character
●Ionization (energy) potential
●Electron affinity
●Electronegativity
As we increase the atomic number (or go down a group). . .
•each atom has another energy level,
•so the atoms get bigger.
Atomic Size
Atomic Size - Period Trends
Going from left to right across a period, the size gets smaller.
•Electrons are in the same energy level.
•But, there is more nuclear charge.
•Outermost electrons are pulled closer
is the tendency of an element to lose electrons and form positive ions (cations). For e.g., alkali metals are the most electropositive elements.
It is also known as electropositivity.
Metallic character
The tendency of an element to accept electrons to form an anion is called
non-metallic or electronegative character
For e.g., chlorine, oxygen and phosphorous show greater electronegative or.”
non-metallic character
Trends across the period
Metallic character of elements decreases as we move to the right.
●Elements to the left have a pronounced metallic character while those to the right have a non-metallic character.
●Non-metallic character increases from left to right.
Why does the metallic character decrease from left to right across the period?
The elements to the left of the periodic table have a tendency of losing electrons easily as compared to those to the right.
➢As we move from left to right of the period, the electrons of the outer shell experience greater pull of the nucleus.
➢This greater force of attraction is because the nuclear charge increases and the size of the atom decreases from left to right.
Why does metallic character increase down the group?
●As we move down the group the number of shells increases.
●This causes the effective nuclear charge to decrease due to the outer shells being further away: in effect the atomic size increases.
●The electrons of the outermost shell experience less nuclear attraction and so can lose electrons easily thus showing increased metallic character.
The amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom is called ionization energy (IE).
It is measured in the units of electron volts (eV) per atom or kilo joules per mole of atoms (kJ mol-1).
Ionization energy (IE).
