What to Focus On

  • Mendeleev's law is based on atomic weight.
  • Modern periodic law is based on atomic number.
  • Periodic table has 7 periods and 18 groups.

  • Noble gases have completely filled shells.
  • Representative elements include s-block and p-block elements.
  • s-block means Group 1 and Group 2.

  • Atomic radius measures atomic size.
  • 1 Å = 10^-8 cm = 10^-10 m.
  • Atomic size increases down a group.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Atomic size always decreases steadily from left to right in every period with no exceptions.

Ionisation energy always increases smoothly across a period without any exceptions.

Electron affinity always follows the same smooth trend as electronegativity and ionisation energy, so fluorine must have the highest electron affinity in Group 17.
