Periods and Groups

The modem periodic table simultaneously arranges elements in two important ways the horizontal rows of the table, called periods, and the vertical columns, called groups. The term period is used for the rows because many important 

The noble gas elements were once called inert gases because they were considered completely unreactive. Several noble gas compounds are now known, so the term inert is no longer used. 

Fluorine, chlorine, and bromine each combine with one atom of hydrogen, for example, and all fall in the same group. 

There are also names for different regions of the table. Elements in the two groups on the left side of the table and the six groups on the right side are collectively referred to as representative elements, or main group elements. Elements that separate these two parts of the representative groups in the main body of the periodic table are called transition metals. Iron is an example of a transition metal. The elements that appear below the rest of the periodic table are called lanthanides (named after the element lanthanum, Z= 57) and actinides (named after the element actinium, Z = 89).

Another way to start is to look up the element you wish to know more about in its period or group as listed in the table of contents. The Contents is really the guide for presenting the major classes or categories of elements, that is., periods and groups of elements.

We explain how to predict the properties of elements from looking at the periodic table in the next section. For now, we just want to describe how the elements are arranged in periods and groups. 

Test the hypotheses that (1) the "period" effects are all zero, (2) the "group" effects are all zero, and (3) both period and group effects are zero. Use an F test in each case.

The book is designed to introduce fundamental knowledge in three areas the history of the atom, the periodic table and radioactivity. We will study the historical development of atomic structure theories, the tendencies of elements in periods and groups, and the types of emissions and uses of radioactivity. 

Since hydrogen has one valence electron, its group number is 1 and since the electron is in the s orbital, hydrogen is in group A. Therefore, H is in the 1A group. At the same time, because the principal quantum number (valence shell) of the s orbital is 1, H is in the 1st period. So, hydrogen is the element of 1st period and group 1A.

The electron configuration of the element which is placed in the 3rd period and group 4A is ls22s22p63s23p2. Therefore, the number of electrons is 14. 

But is the long history of the periodic table of elements finally over After all, the boxes have been filled, and the pattern that connects them into periods and groups is well known. Are scientists and inventors, doctors and artists still interested in the periodic table and the things it can tell us ... 

Periodic table of the elements An arrangement of all the elements by increasing atomic number in periods and groups that demonstrates their repeating nature. 

Because of the arrangement of elements on the periodic table, there are several patterns that can be seen between the elements. These patterns, or periodic trends, can be observed for atomic radius, ionic radii, ionization energies, electron affinities, and electronegativities. You should be familiar with the periodic and group trends for each of these. 

The periodic table contains a number of periods and groups. The periods are the horizontal rows. They are numbered 1 through 7. The groups (or families) are the vertical columns. They are numbered 1 through 18. You will be provided with a periodic table when you take the SAT II Chemistry test. NOTE A complete Periodic Table is provided in Appendix 3 at the back of this book. 

It is important to be able to give the electron configuration for each of the main-group elements. This is most easily done by using the periodic table. If you understand how the table is organized, it is not necessary to memorize the order in which the orbitals fill. Review Fig. 12.28 and Fig. 12.29 to make sure that you understand the correspondence among the orbitals and the periods and groups.

Kong s periodic systems of diatomic and triatomic molecules (Kong 1982, 1989) are truly beautiM. They are the silver lining of the dark cloud of his long-term house arrest related to the Cultural Revolution in the People s Republic of China. His systems place molecules in the compartments of a flat chart with approximately the same shape as the chart of the elements. The period and group numbers are the sums of the atoms period and group numbers. 

Many of the compartments in Kong s tables contain several molecules indeed, the paper that introduces his diatomic-molecular system comes with a lexicon listing the molecules contained in each compartment. The hst is two-dimensional (arranged according to the differences of the atoms period and group numbers), which suggests that Kong s table is in fact a projection onto two-dimensional space of a four-dimensional architecture.
