Topic 3 & 13: Periodicity

3.1 The Periodic Table

(How is it organized?)
Major principle that organizes the
modern Periodic Table:
 Periodicity

(def.)- the regular repeating pattern of

properties (the noun form of periodic)

As of today, the newest element to be confirmed is #115,
temporarily named Ununpentium (Uup). Four isotopes
have been synthesized, all having a half-life of less than 1
second. Predict the following properties of Uup.

1. Chemical Properties
a. Group, Period, # of valence electrons
b. Formula of its oxide, formula of its chloride
2. Physical Properties:
a. Atomic radius (pm)
b. Ionization energy (kJ/mol)
3. *Predict the abbreviated electron configuration of an
atom of Uup.
