Trends in Periodic Table Atomic Radius – How big the atom is

Trends in Periodic Table Electronegativity/ Electron Affinity– How strongly the nucleus attracts the electrons Strongest Weakest

Trends in Periodic Table Electronegativity/ Electron Affinity– How strongly the nucleus attracts the electrons

Valence Electrons The number of electrons in the atom’s outer shell. This affects how reactive an atom is. This is indicated for each column/group by the number in front of the letter above

Valence Electrons Column/Group 1A has 1 valence electron Column/Group 8A has 8 valence electron (except for He which has 2)

C H O N P S The most common molecules that make up living organisms Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Nitrogen Phosphorus Sulfur

Diatomic Molecules Molecules that naturally appear in pairs such a O 2 These are still elements, NOT compounds
