Periodic Table

QuestionAnswer
groups column going down table
periods rows going across the table
Dmitri Mendeleev developed the periodic table because he found that there was a repeat in properties every 8 elements
metals few valence electrons (electrons in outermost principal energy level), form positive ions by losing electrons (ion becomes smaller than atom) PILES
metals good conductors, malleable, ductile and have a luster, low ionization energies and low electronegativities, all solid at room temperature except mercury (Hg) which is a liquid
nonmetals more than 4 valence electrons, for negative ions by gaining electrons (ion becomes bigger than atom) NIGEL, poor conductors, insulators, brittle, dull
nonmetals high ionization energies and high electronegativities, all phases of matter: Liquid: Bromine (Br2), Gases: H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2 and noble gases
metalloids (semimetals) on the staircase, exhibit properties of both metals and nonmetals (B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, and Te)
period electrons in the same principal energy level, valence electrons increase from 1 to 8, character of elements changes from metal to metalloid to nonmetal
group similar chemical properties due to a same number of valence electrons, increase in the number of occupied principal energy levels, for the same monotomic ion cage and compounds with the same general formula, elements get more metallic down this
alkali metals group 1, most reactive metals only found naturally in stable compounds, elements can be obtained by electrolysis of their fused salts
alkaline earth metals also very reactive and only found naturally in compounds, slightly less reactive than alkali metals
group 15 contains diatomic nitrogen (N2) which contains a triple bond, contain nonmetals (N, P), metalloids (As, Sb), metals (Bi)
group 16 contain diatomic oxygen (O2) which has a double bond, Polonium (Po) has no stable isotopes (all radioactive)
halogens group 17, most reactive nonmetals only found in compounds, gases (F2, Cl2, liquid (Br2), solids (I2, At)
noble (inert) gases group 18, exist uncombined in nature (monatomic gas molecules), end in a completely, filled principal energy level, very unreactive (only the heavier gases can react with fluorine )
transition elements groups 3-12, filling an inner d-sublevel, react with two outermost principal energy levels, can form more than one type of binary compound, compounds and ions tend to be colored
ionization energy (Table S) the amount of energy required to move the most loosely bound electron from an atom, increases across a period due to increased nuclear charge (# of protons), decreases down a group due to increased # of principal energy levels
electronegativity (Table S) the ability of an atom to attract an electron within a bond to another atom, increases across a period due to increased nuclear charge (# of protons), decreases down a group due to increased # principal energy levels
atomic radius (Table S) half the distance between two adjacent nuclei of an element in the solid state, decreases across a period due to increased nuclear charge (#protons), increases down a group due to increased # of shells
atomic radius (Table S) ionic radius change sin size, metal ions get smaller (PILES), nonmetal ions get larger (NIGEL)
lower left most reactive metals in ___ ___ (easiest to lose electrons, Fr)
upper right most reactive nonmetals are in _______ (easiest to gain electrons, F)
noble gases least reactive elements, filled principle energy levels

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
