II. Periodic Table
The placement or location of
elements on the Periodic Table
gives an indication of physical
and chemical properties of that
element. The elements on the
Periodic Table are arranged in
order of increasing atomic
number. (3.1y)
Mendeleev’s original table was according to mass. This was
changed when Moseley discovered atomic number.

The number of protons in an
Atomic

identifies the element. 6C the

The sum of the protons and
neutrons in an atom (mass
number) identifies an isotope.
Common notations that
represent isotopes include:
14C, carbon-14, C-14. (3.1g)
Mass number is written on the upper left.

Elements can be differentiated
by their physical properties.
Physical properties of
substances, such as density,
conductivity, malleability,
solubility, and hardness, differ
among elements. (3.1w)
Density=mass/volume
A physical property is one which does not change the
identity of the substance when tested.

Elements can be differentiated by
chemical properties. Chemical
properties describe how an
element behaves during a
chemical reaction. (3.1x)
When testing a chemical property, the substance may
change into another substance.
The number of atoms an element combines with is an
important chemical property:
NaCl CaCl2 AlCl3 CCl4
HCl

H2O
NH3
CH4

Some elements exist in two or
more forms in the same phase.
These forms differ in their
molecular or crystal structure,
and hence in their properties.
(5.2f) These are called allotropes.

For Groups 1, 2, and 13-18 on
the Periodic Table, elements
within the same group have
the same number of valence
electrons (helium is an
exception) and therefore
similar chemical properties.

Ionic Radius in Metals
 Sodium (Na) is a metal
– Electron configuration 2-8-1
• (11 protons and 11 electrons)
– Loses 1 electron in its valence shell
– A sodium atom becomes a sodium ion
• Na+
• 2-8 (10 electrons but 11 protons)
– Same electron configuration as a noble gas (Ne)
but has more protons. Electrons are pulled in
much closer so the radius decreases.
 2+ ions are even smaller than + ions

25
Ionic Radius in Nonmetals
 Chlorine (Cl) is a nonmetal
– Electron configuration 2-8-7
Notice-name of
negative ions end
in IDE
• (17 protons and 17 electrons)
– Gains 1 electron in its valence shell
– A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion
• Cl• 2-8-8 (18 electrons but only 17 protons)
– Same electron configuration as a noble gas (Ar)
but has fewer protons. Electrons repel each
other and the radius increases.
 2- ions are even larger than – ions

Trends in Electronegativity
 Electronegativity – the relative ability of an atom
to attract electrons (in a chemical bond)
 Fluorine (F) has the highest electronegativity and
is assigned the value 4.0
 Francium (Fr) has the lowest electronegativity.
 Going down a group, electronegativity decreases
because there are more shells and the electron
being attracted is far from the protons
 Going across a period, electronegativity increases
because there are more protons in the nucleus to
attract the electrons. (same number of shells)
J Deutsch 2003

36
Trends in First Ionization Energy
 First ionization energy is the amount of energy
needed to remove the most loosely held electron
from an atom in the gaseous state.
 Going down a group, first ionization energy
decreases because there are more shells and the
electron being attracted is far from the protons
 Going across a period, first ionization energy
increases because there are more protons in the
nucleus to attract the electrons. (same number of
shells)

outer shells
 Metals form positive (+) ions
 Metals have low electronegativity
 Metals have low first ionization energy
 Metallic properties (characteristics) decrease as
you go to the right across a period
 Metallic properties increase as you go down a

 Going towards Francium (Fr), metallic properties
increases.
Anything that increases an atom’s ability to lose electrons,
increase the atoms metallic characteristics.

39
Trends in Nonmetallic Properties
 Nonmetals want to gain electrons to complete
their outer shells
 Nonmetals form negative (-) ions
 Nonmetals have high electronegativity
