Chemistry Test - Periodic Trends Flashcards
(103 cards)
What information is used to organize the modern periodic table?
- Atomic number
- Valence shells
- Element properties
How does atomic mass relate to the atomic number?
Atomic number = mass - neutrons
What does periodic mean?
Periodic means a repeating pattern.
What properties are common to the left side of the periodic table you made? What properties are common to the right side of the periodic table you made?
Left: soft, shiny metals that react with oxygen and water.
Right: Non-Metals and gases.
Where are the Akali Metals?
First Column
Where are the Alkaline Earth Metals?
Second Column
Where are the Halogens?
Second column on the right side (F, Cl. Br, I)
Where are the Noble gases?
Furthest right column.
Which element in each of the following groups has the largest atomic radius? (Halogens, Alkali Metals, Noble Gases)
a) Halogens - Iodine
b) Alkali Metals - Francium
c) Noble Gases - Radon
Arrange the following atoms in order of increasing atomic radius (smallest to largest): K, Rb, Cs, F, Li, C
Li, C, F
K, Rb, Cs
Atomic Radius Definition:
A measurement of the size of an ion, usually expressed in picometers (pm); the distance from the centre of an ion to the outermost (valence) electrons.
Across a Row Atomic Radius Increases:
From right to left.
Across a Row Atomic Radius Decreases:
From left to right
Atomic Radius Row Example for Smallest Radius: Li or F?
F is the smallest as it is towards the right side of the periodic table. Atoms further on the right of the periodic table have more protons to attract the electrons in. Therefore, making the atomic radius smaller as the electrons are pulled closer to the nucleus.
Atomic Radius Row Example for Biggest Radius: S or Mg?
Mg is the biggest radius as it is towards the left side of the periodic table. Atomics further on the left of the periodic table have fewer protons to attract the electrons in. Therefore, making the atomic radius bigger as the electrons are further away from the nucleus.
Template for Atomic Radius Row examples:
( ) is the (smallest/biggest) as it is towards the (right/left) of the periodic table. Atoms further on the (right/left) of the periodic table have (more/fewer) protons to attract electrons in. Therefore, making the atomic radius (smaller/bigger) as the electrons are (pulled closer to/further away from) the nucleus.
Column Atomic Radius Increases:
As you go down a column.
Column Atomic Radius Decreases:
As you go up a column.
Atomic Radius Column Example for Smallest Radius: Sr or Be?
Be is the smallest as it is higher up in the column. Atoms higher up have fewer shells and therefore, are smaller.
Atomic Radius Column Example for Biggest Radius: O or Se?
Se is the biggest as It is lower down in the column. Atoms lower down have more shells and therefore, are bigger.
Template for Atomic Radius Column:
( ) is the (smallest/biggest) as it is (higher up/lower down) in the column. Atoms (higher up/lower down) have (fewer/more) shells and therefore, are (smaller/bigger).
Ionization Energy Definition:
The quantity of energy required to remove an electron from an atom or ion in the gaseous state.
Across a Row Ionization Energy Increases:
To the right.
Across a Row Ionization Energy Decreases:
To the left.
