Flashcards: Periodic Trends
Alkali Metals (group)
group 1 on the periodic table.
Alkaline Earth Metals (group)
group 2 on the periodic table.
Transition Metals (group)
groups 3-12.
Halogens (group)
group 17.
valence electrons
are found in the outermost energy level.
Noble Gases (group)
group 18.
Electronegativity
tendency of an atom to attract/gain electrons
Ionization Energy
the amount of energy required to remove an electron.
Atomic Radius
1/2 the distance between nuclei of the same element bonded together.
Alkaline Earth Metals (group)
group 2.
Metals
lose electrons/form cations.
Non Metals
gain electrons/form anions.
Orbital
region of space where electrons are most likely to be found.
Electron (Lewis) Dot Diagram.
Shows valence electrons.
Periods/Rows.
From left to right across the periodic table.
Alkaline Earth Metals (v.e.)
two valence electrons.
Halogens (v.e.)
seven valence electrons.
Noble Gases (v.e)
8 valence electrons/ least reactive.
Noble Gases
high ionization energy/ NO electronegativity.
metals
most of the elements on the periodic table.
Electronegativity Trend Across A Period goes (up/down)
goes up left to right across period/ row
Electronegativity Trend Down a Group goes (up/down)
goes down while going down the group/column/family
Ionization energy Trend Across A Period (increase/decrease)
increases left to right across period/row.
Ionization Energy Trend Down A Group (increase/decrease)
decreases going down the group/column/family.
Atomic Radius Trend Across A Period
decrease right to left across the period/row..
Atomic Radius Trend Down A Group
increases going down the group/column/family

An increase in distance between a proton and electron (increase/ decrease) the force.
decrease (force of attraction)
As orbitals are added down a group how does the attractive force between valence electrons and the nucleus charge change? (Increase or Decrease)
Decrease (force of attraction)
The attractive force (increase/ decrease) as number of protons in the nucleus increases.
