This is half the distance between the nuclei of two identical atoms that are bonded together (distance from nucleus to outermost electron) Trend increases as you move down a group/family and decreases moving to the right across a row
Scientist who arranged the elements from lightest to heaviest and noticed that every 8 th element had similar chemical and physical properties
This element is in the post transition metals, has 3 valence electrons, and an oxidation number of +3
Created the first periodic table that was organized by atomic mass
A semi-conductor that has properties of metals and nonmetals
Characteristics include: dull, brittle, no conductivity, does not react with acid, and is on the right-hand side of the periodic table
Family of the periodic table that is found in a free-state because it does not form compounds with other elements. Oxidation number of 0, with 2 or 8 valence electrons
This is an example of an alkaline earth metal
States that properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic number
This is the energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom Increases moving to the right across a row and decreases moving down a group/family
Family of the periodic table that has one valence electron and an oxidation number of +1 First column on left hand side
Characteristics include: very good conductor, malleable, left-hand side of periodic table, reacts with acid, metallic luster, forms cations
Scientist who grouped the elements into triads based upon similar properties
Another name for this is series It is what a row is called on the periodic table and it moves from left to right
This is the most reactive and metallic metal on the periodic table It also has the largest atomic radius
This scientist was the first person to organize the periodic table by atomic number
This is a halogen that has the greatest electronegativity, electron affinity, and ionization energy
This is an example of a transition metal
This is what the columns on the periodic table are called Another name for this is family
This is an example of an alkali metal
This is an example of a noble gas
This family of the periodic table has 7 valence electrons, an oxidation number of -1, and all three states of matter within the group
This family of the periodic table has two valence electrons and an oxidation number of +2
