organization of the periodic table
how the elements are arranged (organized )
3
families and properties of the families
horizontal rows and vertical columns
4
Metals
Good conductors, they have free
electronics
5
Nonmetals
exist in 2 or 3 states of matter at
the temperature
6
Metalloids
an element whose properties are
intermediate between those of
metals and solid nonmetals. They
are electrical semiconductors.
7
periodic law
the law that the properties of the
elements are periodic functions of their
atomic numbers.
8
noble gas electron configurations
substituted to represent all of the
electrons that aren't valence electrons
9
periodic table trends
a regular variation the properties of an
element with increasing atomic number.
10
atomic radius
a chemical element is a measure
of the size of its atoms
11
ionic charges
an element you'll need to consult
your Periodic Table.
12
ionization energy
the quantity of energy that an isolated,
gaseous atom in the ground electronic
state must absorb to discharge an
electron, resulting in a cation.
13
Electro-negativity
a measure of the tendency of an atom to
attract a bonding pair of electrons.
14
octet rule
a chemical rule of thumb that reflects
observation that atoms of main-group
elements tend to combine in such a way
that each atom has eight electrons in its
valence shell, giving it the same
electronic configuration as a noble gas.
15
valence electrons
an electron that is associated with
an atom, and that can participate
in the formation of a chemical
bond
