1. periodic law the chemical and physical 19. left to right for elements in the same period,
properties of the elements are effective nuclear charge increases
dependent, in a periodic way, from
on their atomic numbers 20. atomic radius one half the distance between the
2. valence which electrons have the centers of 2 atoms of an element that
greatest amount of electrical are briefly in contact
potential energy 21. closer which has a larger ionic radius: non
3. A elements representative elements are metals close to the metalloid line or
also called far?
4. representative elements in this group have 22. farther which has a larger ionic radius: metals
their valence electrons in s or close to the metalloid line or far?
p subshells 23. ionization energy the energy required to remove an
5. B elements nonrepresentative elements are electron from a gaseous species
also called 24. active metals these elements have the lowest
6. nonrepresentative this group includes transition ionization energies
elements elements, lanthanide and 25. removing one why is the second ioniztion energy for
actinide series electron results in a group 1A metals so large?
7. s and d what subshells do the transition noble gas
elements have their electrons configuration
in 26. group 18 which group is least likely to give up
8. s and f what subshells so lacnthanide electrons
and actinide elemetns have 27. electron affinity energy dissipated by a species when it
thier electrons in gains an electron
9. metals these are ound on the left 28. energy dissipated electron affinity refers to:
andin the middle of the
periodic table 29. electronegativity measure of the attractive force an
atom will exert on an electron in a
10. mercury which metal is not lusturous chemical bond
because it is usually a liquid?
30. cesium this element is the largest, least
11. malleability ability of a metal to be electronegative, has the lowest
hammered into shape ionization energy, and the lowest
12. lithium what is the exception to "metals electron affinity (least exothermic)
are dense" 31. fluorine this element is the smallest, most
13. large atomic radius, small what are the characteristics that electronegative, has the highest
ionic radius, low ionization make it easy for metals to give ionization energy, and is the most
energy, low electron up their electrons exothermic (highest electron affinity)
affinity 32. alkali metals this group has low Zeff and the largest
14. oxidation state different charges when forming atomic radii
bonds with other atoms 33. alkaline earth this group has 2 electrons in their
15. because metals hold on why are metals good metals valence shells
loosely to their valence conductors 34. they are so reactive why are alkali and alkaline metals
electrons they are not called active metals
16. high ionization energy, characteristics of non metals normally found in
electron affinity, that explain their tendancy to their neutral state
electronegativity, small hold on to electrons 35. chalcogens group group of non metals and metalloids
atomic radii, large ionic 16 that have small atomic radii and large
radii atomic radii. they can be damaging at
17. metalloids semimetals are called high concentrations
18. effective nuclear charge the electrostatic attraction 36. halogens group 17 group of highly reactive nonmetals
between the valence shell 37. F and Cl gaseous halogens
electrons and the nucleus
38. Br liquid halogen
39. I solid halogen
40. alkali and alkaline halogens are especially reactive with
41. halides or diatomic halogens are usually found as ions called
molecules
42. noble gases group 18 this group has minimal chemical reactivity and high ionization energy, low BP
43. transition elements these are considered metals and have low electron affinities, low ionization energies and low
electronegativities
