500

Group 14, Period 6

Lead (Pb) 

500

half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms bonded together

Atomic radius 

500

What is the trend of atomic radius 

Across a period L to R: 

Down a group: 

Why? 

Across: Atomic radius decreases as you move left to right across a period.

- Increased # of protons pull electrons closer, reducing atom size

Down: Atomic radius increases down a group.

- More principal energy levels (larger orbitals) make atoms bigger


500

Phenomenon where inner shell electrons (core electrons) in an atom partially block the  positive charge of the nucleus from the outer shell (valence) electrons

Electron Shielding

600

Highly reactive group 17 elements. 

Why are they so reactive?

Halogen Gases

Contain 7 valence electrons in their outer shell. Only 1 away from achieving a stable octet, making them eager to reach with other elements to complete their octet. 


600

Period 5, Group 17

Iodine (I)

600

The energy required to remove an electron from a specific atom.

Ionization energy

600

What is the trend of ionization energy

Across a period L to R: 

Down a group: 

Why? 

Across: Ionization energy increases from left to right across the periodic table.

- More protons leads to stronger attraction to electrons, making them harder to remove

Down: Ionization energy decreases as atomic size increases

- Electrons are farther from the nucleus, making them easier to remove due to reduced attraction.


600

When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their chemical and physical properties.

What two indivdiuals are given the most credit for this law? 

Periodic Law

Henry Moseley and Dmitri Mendeleev

700

Lanthanides

700

Period 7, Group 4

Rutherfordium (Rf)

700

Measures an atom's ability to attract electrons when forming a compound.

 

Electronegativity

700

What is the trend of Electronegativity 

Across a period L to R: 

Down a group: 

Why? 

Across: Electronegativity increases from left to right due to increased nuclear charge

Down: Electronegativity decreases due to larger atomic size.

700

Who began to arrage the periodic table by increasing atomic number? 

Was this arrangement more accurate than Mendeleev's? Why or why not?

Henry Moseley

This arrangement was more accurate than Mendeleev's because Mendeleev arranged the elements by atomic mass, which caused some elements to be out of order. Moseley’s method, based on atomic number, correctly aligned elements with similar properties, solving the discrepancies in Mendeleev's table.
