Question | Answer |
---|---|
Groups | There are three vertical columns on the Periodic Table and are numbered from #1-18. |
Group 1: Alkali Metals | -highly reactive w/ non-metals. When combined with water they have an endothermic reaction. When combined w/non-metals they form SALTS. |
As you go from top to bottom in a group, the reactivity increases | 1. In solution SALTS will IONIZE 2. To Ionize means the compound has broken up into its respective ions. |
Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals | - also form salts w/ non-Metals, they are less reactive than the grp. 1 metals w/ water |
Group 3-12: Transition Metals | -form colored ions in solution |
Group 17: Halogens | -the only group on the periodic table with all three phases of matter present |
Group 18: Nobel Gases | -will not form compounds with other elements because they exist w/ 8 val. e- already. Exception Fluorine. |
Electronegativity | -in a group decreases as you go from top to bottom. The electronegativity decreases because as you go down a group, the number of PEL increases |
As the # of PEL’s increases the attractive force of the nucleus decreases, | reducing the electronegativity of the element |
First Ionization Energy | decreases as you go from top to bottom in a group (same reason as electronegativity) |
Atomic Radius | Increases as you go from top to bottom in a group because the number of PEL’s increases, therefore the atom in radius increases |
Reactivity | Increases from top to bottom. With water, and with the forming of compounds and eventually becoming radioactive |
Metallic Character | As you go from top to btm. In a group the elements become more metallic |
Trends of a Period (Lft. To Rt.) #1-7 | The number of the period corresponds to the # of PEL’s each element in the period has |
Electronegativity _____ as you go from left to right in a period | Increases |
Trends in a period generally, | Exclude Noble Gases due to their complete Octet Rule |
In a period the number of PEL’s is the same but the number of proton is increasing, by 1, in the Nucleus | This causes the Nucleus to have a greater attraction for e-, increasing the electronegativity for each successive element |
First Ionization Energy _______ from left to right in a period for the same reason as electronegativity | Increases |
Atomic Radius _____ as you go from left to right in a period. For the same reason that causes the _____ in both electronegativity and first ionization energy | decrease; increase |
Reactivity decreases as we go from left to right in a period because | The elements are moving towards getting 8 valence e- |
Metallic Character | decreases as we go from left to right in a period |
Metals | Good conductors of heat and electricity. 1. Due to the low electronegativity which causes them to lose their e- easily. A flow of e- = electricity. 2. Malleable- pounded flat into a sheet. (Their shape is easily transformed.) 3. Ductile- pulled into a |
Non-metals | i. Poor conductors of heat and electricity. ii. Brittle - hit them with a hammer and they shatter. iii. Dull - they do not have luster. iv. Low MP and BP. v. Will not oxidize in water. |
Metalloids (Semi-Metals) | i. Have characteristics of both metals and non-metals. ii. Semi-conductors of heat and electricity. |
Atomic Radius vs. Ionic Radius | Depends on what type of element that we are dealing with. Metals - always lose their e- forming (+) ions, therefore their Atomic Radius is always larger than their Ionic Radius. Non-metals - always gain e- forming (-) ions, therefore their Ionic Radius |
