3.1: The periodic table
Understandings
• 3.1.1 The periodic table is arranged into four blocks
associated with the four sub-levels.
• 3.1.2 The periodic table consists of groups (vertical
columns) and period (horizontal rows).
• 3.1.3 The period number (n) is the outer energy level
that is occupied.
• 3.1.4 The number of the principal energy level and the
number of the valence electrons in an atom can be
deduced from its position on the periodic table.
• 3.1.4 The periodic table shows the positions of metals,
non-metals and metalloids.

3.1.1 Describe the arrangement of elements in the
periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.
Development of the Periodic Table
• Johan Dobereiner
Grouped similar elements into groups of 3
(triads) such as chlorine, bromine, and
iodine. (1817-1829).
• John Newlands
Found every eighth element (arranged by
atomic weight) showed similar properties.
Law of Octaves (1863).
• Dmitri Mendeleev
Arranged elements by similar properties
but left blanks for undiscovered elements
(1869).

Dmitri Mendeleev
1834 – 1907
• Russian chemist and
teacher
• Given the elements he
knew about, he organized
a “Periodic Table” based
on increasing atomic
mass (it’s now atomic #)
• He even left empty
spaces to be filled in later
At the time the elements gallium and germanium were not
known. These are the blank spaces in his periodic table. He predicted their
discovery and estimated their properties.

Henry Moseley
1887 – 1915
• Arranged the elements
in increasing atomic
numbers (Z)
– Properties now
recurred periodically
IB prefers this one.

Design of the Table
• A Group (aka family) is a vertical column
– Elements have similar, but not identical,
properties
• Most important property is that
they have the same # of valence
electrons
Electron Arrangement
Core Electrons:
electrons that are in the
inner energy levels
Valence Electrons:
electrons that are in the
outermost (highest)
energy level

3.1.4 Apply the relationship between the number of
electrons in the highest occupied energy level for an
element and its position in the periodic table.

• Valence electrons: electrons in the
highest occupied energy level
• all elements have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, or 8
valence electrons

• B is 1s2 2s2 2p1;
– 2 is the outermost energy level
– it contains 3 valence electrons, 2
in the 2s and 1 in the 2p
• Br is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5
How many valence electrons
are present?
3.1.3 Apply the relationship between the electron
arrangement of elements and their position in the periodic
table.
Arrangement of the Periodic
Table
• Group = Sum of electrons in
the highest occupied energy
level (s + p) = Number of
valence electrons
28
2.3.4 Deduce the electron arrangement for atoms and
ions.
Valence electrons are electrons in the
outermost energy level of an atom
– The sum of electrons in the s & p orbitals in the
highest energy level
– Ex. Argon’s electron arrangement is
1s22s22p63s23p6. Since the highest energy level is 3,
we add the e-s in 3s2 + 3p6 = 8
– So, argon has 8 valence electrons
• The easy way is to look at its location on the periodic
table  (except for the transition metals)
29
3.1.3 Apply the relationship between the electron
arrangement of elements and their position in the periodic
table.
Arrangement of the Periodic
Table
• Na = 1s22s22p63s1
• Since the sum of electrons in the
highest occupied energy level is 1, it
will be in the 1st group and have 1
valence electron
30
3.1.3 Apply the relationship between the electron
arrangement of elements and their position in the periodic
table.
Arrangement of the Periodic

• Na = 1s22s22p63s1
• It is in the 1st group because it
has 1 valence electron
31
• B is 1s2 2s2 2p1;
– 2 is the outermost energy level
– it contains 3 valence electrons, 2
in the 2s and 1 in the 2p
• Br is [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p5
How many valence electrons
are present?
• Periods are the horizontal rows

properties as you move across the table
that is visible when they react with other
elements

arrangement of elements and their position in the periodic
table.
Arrangement of the Periodic
Table
• Na = 1s22s22p63s1
• Sodium is in the 3rd period because
it has 3 energy levels  The
highest occupied energy level is 3
35
3.1.3 Apply the relationship between the electron
arrangement of elements and their position in the periodic
table.
Arrangement of the Periodic
Table
• Write out the electron configuration
for selenium
• State the relationship between the
group that selenium is in and its
electron configuration
• State the relationship between the
period that selenium is in and its
electron configuration
36
3.1.3 Apply the relationship between the electron
arrangement of elements and their position in the periodic
table.
Arrangement of the Periodic Table
Electron configuration for selenium:
Se = 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p4
• Group # is 16
• Since the highest energy level is 4, we add the e-s in
4s2 + 4p4 = 6
• Therefore, Se has 6 valence e-s
• Period # is 4
• The highest occupied s/p energy level is 4

3.2: Periodic trends
Understandings
• 3.2.1 Vertical and horizontal trends in the
periodic table exist for atomic radius, ionic
radius, ionization energy, electron affinity and
electronegativity.
• 3.2.2 Trends in metallic and non-metallic
behavior are due to the trends above.
• 3.2.3 Oxides change from basic through
amphoteric to acidic across a period.
43
Periodic Trend Definitions
• Atomic Radius: half the internuclear distance
between two atoms of the same element (pm)
• Ionic radius: the radius of an ion in the
crystalline form of a compound (pm)
44
Periodic Trend Definitions
• First ionization energy: The energy required to
remove one electron from each atom in one
mole of gaseous atoms under standard
thermodynamic conditions (kJ mol-1)
• Electron Affinity: The energy released when
one electron is added to each atom in one mole
of gaseous atoms under standard
thermodynamic conditions (kJ mol-1)
45
Periodic Trend Definitions
• Electronegativity: A measure of the tendency
of an atom in a molecule to attract a pair of
shared electrons towards itself
• Melting Point: The temperature at which a solid
becomes a liquid at a fixed pressure (degrees
Kelvin)
46
Trends in the table
IB loves the alkali metals and
the halogens
Many trends are easier to understand if
you comprehend the following:
• The ability of an atom to “hang on to” or
attract its valence electrons is the result
of two opposing forces
– the attraction between the electron and the
nucleus
– the repulsions between the electron in
question and all the other electrons in the
atom (often referred to the shielding effect)
– the net resulting force of these two is
referred to effective nuclear charge
This is a simple, yet very good picture. Do you understand it?
Therefore…
• Periodic trends typically have to do with
an increase in nuclear charge
• Group trends typically have to do with
an increase in shielding effect (more
energy levels)
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Group 1A: Alkali Metals
•
•
•
•
•

Colored gas (F2, Cl2); liquid (Br2);
Solid (I2)
Oxidizer (gain electrons)
Reactivity decreases down the group
51
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Atomic Radii
• Periodic trend (Period 3 Trend)
– Atomic radius decreases as you move across a
period.
– Number of protons in the nucleus increases
– Increase in nuclear charge increases the attraction to
the outer shell so the outer energy level progressively
becomes closer to the nucleus
52
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points

Ionic Radii
The radius of an ion in the crystalline form of a
compound
• Atoms tend to gain or lose electrons in order to
have the electron configuration of a noble gas
• Most want 8 valence electrons and take the easiest
approach to obtaining that full “octet”
• Hydrogen and helium only want 2

– Effect of increasing nuclear charge makes it harder to remove an
electron.
• Group trend for Alkali metals & Halogens
– Decreases as you move down a group in the periodic table.
– Number of energy levels increases.
– Outer electrons are farther away from the nucleus and is easier

3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Electronegativity
A measure of the tendency of an atom in a molecule to
attract a pair of shared electrons towards itself.
Helps predict the type of bonding (ionic/covalent).
• Linus Pauling (1901 to 1994) came up with a
scale where a value of 4.0 is arbitrarily
given to the most electronegative element,
fluorine, and the other electronegativities
are scaled relative to this value.

radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Electronegativity
• Group trend for Alkali metals & Halogens
– Generally decreases as you move down a group in
the periodic table.
– Number of energy levels increases.
– Outer electrons are farther away from the nucleus
and aren’t as attracted to one another.
– Inner core electrons “shield” the valence electrons
from the pull of the positive nucleus and therefore
less attracted.

81
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Electron Affinity
The energy released when one electron is added to each
atom in one mole of gaseous atoms under standard
thermodynamic conditions (kJ mol-1)
• In other words, the neutral atom’s likelihood of gaining
an electron.
• Example
• F (g) + e-  F-(g) will release 328 kJ mol-1 of energy
• The more negative the value, the greater the attraction
for the electron, the more affinity the atom has
82
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Electron Affinity
• Periodic Trend (Period 3 Trend)
– Values decrease (become more negative) as you move from left
to right across a period….
– Energy released increases…
– Meaning affinity for electrons INCREASES
– Number of protons in the nucleus increases  increasing
nuclear charge makes it more likely to add an electron.
• Group trend for Alkali metals & Halogens
– Generally increase (become less negative) as you move down a
group in the periodic table…
– Meaning affinity for electrons DECREASES
– Number of energy levels increases  outer electrons are farther
away from the nucleus, adding to the shielding effect.

This one same as “IB textbook”
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Melting Points
The temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid at a
fixed pressure (degrees Kelvin)
The temperature at which a crystalline melts depends on
the strength of the attractive forces and on the way the
particles are packed in the solid state
• Requires understanding of concepts covered in later
topics (this year and next year)
• Know the type of bonding
87
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic

different!
Point (K)
• Alkali Metals: Melting point decreases
down the group
– Li (181 oC) to Cs (29 oC)
– As the atoms get larger the forces of attraction
between them decrease due to the type of

– F2 (-220 0C) to I2 (114 oC)
– Halogens molecules are held
together with weak van der
Waals’ attractive forces due to
their non-polar covalent nature

electrons, increasing the strength
of the IMF

3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Reactivity
The relative capacity of an atom to undergo a chemical
reaction with another atom, molecule or radical.
• Why do atoms react?
• Atoms that are good at becoming stable (getting a full
valence shell) are the most reactive
• Don’t worry about the periodic trend because elements on
opposite sides of the periodic table can be equally reactive…
but for different reasons!!!
92
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Reactivity of Alkali metals
The relative capacity of an atom to undergo a chemical
reaction with another atom, molecule or radical.
• How many valence electrons do the alkali metals
have?
• Are alkali metals more likely to give up or get
electrons?
• What is the name of the property responsible for
doing that?
93
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Reactivity of Alkali metals
• It all has to do with ionization energy since they
want to lose electrons!
• Lower ionization energy = more reactive
• Group trend for Alkali metals
– Increases as you move down group 1
– Since alkali metals are more likely to lose an electron, the
ones with the lowest ionization energy are the most
reactive since they require the least amount of energy to
lose a valence electron.
• Which alkali metal is the best at losing electrons?
• That’s the most reactive alkali metal!
94
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,

reaction with another atom, molecule or radical.
• How many valence electrons do the halogens have?
• Are halogens more likely to give up or get
electrons?
• What is the name of the property responsible for
doing that?
95
3.2.2 Describe and explain the trends in atomic
radii, ionic radii, first ionization energies,
electronegativities and melting points
Reactivity of halogens
• It all has to do with electronegativity (or electron affinity)
since they want to gain electrons!
• Higher electronegativity = lower electron affinity = more
reactive
• Group trend for Alkali metals
– Decreases as you move down group 17 in the periodic table
– Since halogens are more likely to gain an electron, the ones
with the greatest electronegativity are the most reactive
since they are most effective at gaining a valence electron.
• Which alkali metal is best at getting electrons?
• That’s the most reactive halogen!

IB Topic 3: Periodicity
3.3: Chemical properties
• Discuss the similarities and differences in the chemical
properties of elements in the same group.
• Discuss the changes in nature, from ionic to covalent
and from basic to acidic, of the oxides across period 3.
98
3.3.1 Discuss the similarities and
differences in the chemical properties of
elements in the same group.
Alkali Metals
React with water &
react with many
substances
because…
They have the same
number of valence
electrons
99
3.3.1 Discuss the similarities and
differences in the chemical properties of
elements in the same group.
Alkali Metals
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) 
2NaOH (aq) + H2(g)
In the reaction of alkali
metals and water, all
will:
• move around the
surface of the water,
• give off hydrogen gas,
• create a basic solution.
100
3.3.1 Discuss the similarities and
differences in the chemical properties of
elements in the same group.
Alkali Metals
In the reaction of alkali metals and
water, the reactivity will increase
down the group because they
get better at getting rid of their
valence electron
(the 1st ionization energy
decreases)
So, alkali metals lower down will:
• React more vigorously
• React faster
• Give off a flame
101
3.3.1 Discuss the similarities and
differences in the chemical properties of
elements in the same group.
Alkali Metals
Reaction with halogens
2M(s) + X2 (g)  2MX(s)
where M represents Li,Na,K,Rb, or Cs
Where X represents F,Cl,Br, or I
2Na(s) + Cl2(g)  2NaCl(s)
Reactivity decreases down the
group
102
3.3.1 Discuss the similarities and
differences in the chemical properties of
elements in the same group.
Halogens
Halogens are diatomic as gases (two atoms
bond together) and called halides when
they form ions… These are BrINClHOF 
Halogens want to get one electron to fill its
outer shell.
Reactivity decreases down the group
because electronegativity decreases
Cl2 reacts with Br- and ICl2(aq) + 2Br-(aq)  2Cl-(aq) + Br2(l)
Cl2(aq) + 2I-(aq)  2Cl-(aq) + I2(s)
Br2 reacts with I-
Br2(aq) + 2I-(aq)  2Br-(aq) + I2(s)
I2 non-reactive with halide ions
