Periodic Table

Bell RingerHow many valence electrons does N have?Which of the 3 classes on the periodic table displays properties of both metals and nonmetals? Which Group on the periodic table has the most reactive metals? Why are they the most reactive?Which Group has the most reactive nonmetals? Why?Periodic Table TRENDSThe Periodic Table and Atomic Radius

3

Period Trend:Atomic Radius4 Ionization energyIonization energy is the amount of energy needed to remove an electron from an atom.The ionization energy decreases as you move down a group.Why?The size of the atom increases.Electron is further from the nucleus.

The ionization energy increases as you move from left to right across a period.Why?Attraction of the electron to the nucleus increases.Becomes easier to gain an electron(s) than lose one.

Ionization Energy

Periodic Trend:Ionization Energy7Electronegativity: the ability of an atom to attract (or gain) an electron

ElectronegativityElectronegativity decreases as you move down a group.

Electronegativity of the Group A elements increases as you move across a period from left to right.
