(Hint: Focus on electrons) ‘The quantum theory explains that electrons are in 3-dimensional shaped electron clouds that represent the probability of an electrons location. Bohr’s theory explains that the electrons are in orbits or shells. 2._ Differentiate between an orbit and an orbital, Orbit is the idea of an electron “orbiting” the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. Orbitals are the new idea of an electron cloud that represents the shape of probability for an electrons location, 3. What do electron configurations tell us about an atom?

What determines the vertical arrangement of the periodic table? Repeating physical and chemical properties determines the vertical arrangement of the periodic table. 2. What determines the horizontal order of the periodic table? Increasing atomic number determines the horizontal arrangement of the periodic table. 3. What determines the order of the periodic table? Periodic law determines the order of the periodic table (repeating chemical and physical properties). 4. Why did Mendeleev and other scientists of his time arrange elements in the periodic table in order of atomic masses? Protons were not discovered until the early 1900s. 5. All halogens are highly reactive. What causes the similarity among the halogens? Halogens all have a common electron configuration of s*p* and only need one more electron to have a full outer energy level. 6. What properties do noble gases share and how does this relate to their electron configuration? Noble gases are inert because they have a full outer energy level (sp). 7. For each element tell which period and group the element is in, identify the element, and state whether it is a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid. ‘Metal, non, Element Period Group Identity manic [#34 4 16 or 6A se nonmetal #40 5 4or28 Zr metal #14 3 Mor 4A Si | metalloid #56 6 2or2A Ba metal #18 3 18 or 8A Ar nonmetal 8.

To what family does it belong? What are the other members of this family? How many electrons are in the outermost energy level? Halogens:F, Cl, Br, At: 7 electrons 10. Define atomic size and describe its trend on the periodic table. ‘+ % the distance between nuclei in a molecule ‘+ increases down a group (top to bottom) and decreases across a period (left to right) 11. Define Ionization energy and describe its trend on the periodic table. + energy required to remove outermost (highest energy) electron * decreases down a group {top to bottom) and increases across a period (left to right) 12. Define electronegativity and describe its trend on the periodic table, ‘+ an atoms tendency to attract electrons ‘+ decreases down a group (top to bottom) and increases across a period (left to right) 13. Explain why as you go down the periodic table, within a group, the atoms get larger. Energy levels with new, larger orbitals are being filled with electrons. 14, Explain why Cl # 17 is smaller then S #16 considering it has one more proton than sulfur. Chiorine and sulfur have valence electrons in the same energy level. Since Chlorine has 1 more proton in its nucleus, there is a greater attraction to the electron cloud causing it to contract. 15. As an atom gets smaller the ionization energy becomes greater. Using atomic structure, explain this statement. Electrons are closer to the nucleus (positive charge); therefore, the electrons experience a greater attractive force.
