Topics in Periodic Properties and Variations of Properties - Physical and Chemical

1

Modern Periodic Table - Foundation

  • Modern Periodic Law: Physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers (given by Moseley)
  • Elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic numbers, not atomic weights
  • 18 groups (vertical columns) and 7 periods (horizontal rows)
2

Classification of Elements

  • s-block elements: Groups 1 and 2 (alkali metals and alkaline earth metals)
  • p-block elements: Groups 13-18 (including noble gases)
  • d-block elements: Groups 3-12 (transition metals)
3

Atomic Size (Atomic Radius)

  • Distance from nucleus center to outermost electron shell
  • Down a group: Atomic size INCREASES (more shells added)
  • Across a period: Atomic size DECREASES (nuclear charge increases, same number of shells)
4

Ionisation Energy

  • Energy required to remove most loosely bound electron from gaseous atom
  • Down a group: Ionisation energy DECREASES (atomic size increases)
  • Across a period: Ionisation energy INCREASES (nuclear charge increases)
