CPA Study Guide for Chapter 6 Test The Periodic Table
Know the difference between Mendeleev’s organization of the elements versus the modern
organization of the Periodic Table
Know and be able to apply the Periodic Law
Know the names of families of elements: alkali metals, alkaline earths, halogens, noble gases, metalloids
and transition elements
Define and know the trend for ionization energy
Define and apply the trend in electronegativity
Cation versus anion
Trend in atomic radius; comparing radii in an isoelectronic series; comparing the radius of a parent atom
to its ion
Be able to identify the number of valence electrons in each family of the representative elements
Be able to predict the charge on an ion based on the atoms tendency to obtain a noble gas electron
configuration
Be able to write/identify an element form its electron configuration AND locate the position on the
Periodic Table from the outer electron configuration
Recall that two trends (ionization energy and radius) do include the noble gases and two
trends(electronegativity and electron affinity ) do not
Metallic character is the “willingness” of an atom to lose an electron: the elements in the southwest
corner of the Periodic Table are the most metallic and the elements in the northeast (omit noble gases)
are the least metallic
