Periodic Trends

AB
PeriodRow
GroupFamily/Column
Atomic RadiusIncreases down the group & across the period from right to left
Ionic RadiusIncreases down the group & across the period from left to right
Metallic CharacterCu<Ag<Au
Nonmetallic CharacterI<Br<Cl
ElectronegativityAbility of an atom to attract electrons from another atom
Electron AffinityThe change in energy when an electron is added to an atom
Ionization EnergyAbility of an atom to gain electrons from another atom
CationPositively charged atom (Metals lose electrons)
AnionNegatively charged atom (Nonmetals gains electrons)
MetalsIncreased atomic radius and melting/boiling points but decreased ionic radius, electronegativity, electron affinity, and ionization energy
NonmetalsIncreased ionic radius, electronegativity, electron affinity, and ionization energy but decreased atomic radius and melting/boiling point
Alkali MetalsGroup 1 elements with 1 valence electron, form +1 cations, and highly reactive
Alkaline Earth MetalsGroup 2 elements with 2 valence electrons, form +2 cations, and are reactive
Transition MetalsGroup 3-12 elements with varying number of valence electrons, form cations, low reactivity, and have high melting/boiling points
HalogenGroup 7A elements with 7 valence electrons, form -1 anions, and extremely reactive
Noble GasesGroup 8A elements with 8 valence electrons, will not form ions, and are inert/chemically unreactive
Lanthanides4f elements, corrosive, and heavy metals
Actinides5f elements, radioactive, heavy metals
Aufbau PrincipleBegin filling orbitals at ground state (1s)
Hund's RuleUp, up, up...down, down, down
Pauli Exclusion PrincipleUp, down
