What does the group number on the periodic table tell us?
how many electrons are in the outer shell of an element
What does the period number on periodic table tell us
amount of energy levels
Atomic size trend in the periodic table
As you move from left to right bottom to top atomic size decreases
Because there are more protons in the nucleus they have a stronger pull on electrons
Metal reactivity trend in periodic table
As you move from left to right bottom to top metal reactivity decreases
This is because there are more electron shells and they can lose electrons more easily
non-metal reactivity
As you move from right to left top to bottom reactivity decreases
This is because there are more electron shells and they cannot attract electrons as easily.
Metallic bonding and its properties
Metal and metal which remove electrons and make positive ions
properties:
Conduct electricity
malleable
high melting point
covalent bonding and its properties
Non-metal and non-metal Share electron pairs’
properties:
doesn’t Conduct Electricity
Breaks easy
low melting point
Ionic bonding and its properties
metal and non-metal Oppositely charged ion
properties:
Conduct electricity (molten)
breakable
high melting point
