12-1 The Development of the Periodic Table

- Mendeleev took first steps in organizing the elements according to atomic mass and periodicity in their properties.

- Moseley arranged them in order of atomic number.

 

12-2 The Modern Periodic Table

- Rows = periods; columns = groups.

- Groups numbered and lettered. 1A-7A (only A) are representative elements.

- Periodic Law: when the elements are arranges in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic pattern in their physical and chemical properties.

 

12-3 Electron Configurations and Periodicity [Practice ]

- The noble gasses: outer s and p energy levels are filled.

- The representative elements: outer s and p energy levels are partially filled.

- The transition metals: outer s and nearby d contain electrons.

- The inner transition metals: s and nearby f contain electrons.

 

12-4 Periodic Trends in Atomic Size [Practice]

- Covalent atomic radius (atomic radius): "half the distance between the nuclei of two atoms in a homonuclear diatomic molecule" or, more simply, the radius of the atom, from the nucleus out.

- Atomic size increases as you go down, decreases as you go right.

 

12-5 Periodic Trends in Ionization Energy [Practice]

- Ionization energy: how much energy is needed to remove one electron from a gaseous atom.

- See Chempire's Online Ionization Energies chart.

- Ionization energies decrease as you go down, increases as you go right.

 

12-6 Periodic Trends in Electron Affinity [Practice]

- Electron affinity: energy released when an electron is added.

- Electron affinity increase as you go to the right, decreases as you go down.

 

12-7 Periodic Trends in Ionic Size [Practice]

- Ionic radii start large at group 5, get smaller until group 7, wraps around to the next period, and continues to get smaller until the next group 5 element. Ionic radii get larger as you move down a period.

 

12-8 Periodic Trends in Electronegativity [Practice] [Reference ]

- Electronegativity is an atom's ability to attract an electron.

- They get larger as you go to the right, and smaller as you go down.

 

12-9 Noble Gasses

- Noble gasses rarely react.

 

12-10 The Alkali Metals and the Alkaline Earth Metals

- Group 1A is the Alkali Metals. They react violently with water.

- Group 2A is the Alkaline Earth Metals. Less reactive than 1A.

 

12-11 The Aluminum Group

- Mostly metals. Aluminum used frequently, others rare.

 

12-12 The Carbon Group

- Carbon: diamond and graphite are two of its forms.

- Silicon is the second most abundant element on earth. It is a semiconductor.

 

12-13 The Nitrogen Group

- N is essential to life. It and P are found in DNA.

 

12-14 The Oxygen Group

- Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth.

 

12-15 The Halogens and Hydrogen

- Halogens have many uses.

- Hydrogen is a group in itself.

 

12-16 The Transition Metals and the Inner Transition Metals

- They are typical metals. Tungsten is used in lightbulbs, mercury in thermometers.
