Lesson 1 

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MODERN PERIODIC TABLE

• periodic law

• group

• period

• representative element

• transition element

• metal

• alkali metal

• alkaline earth metal

• transition metal

• inner transition metal

• lanthanide series

• actinide series

• nonmetal

• halogen

• noble gas

• metalloid

• The elements were first organized by increasing atomic mass,

which led to inconsistencies. Later, they were organized by

increasing atomic number.

• The periodic law states that when the elements are arranged by

increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their

chemical and physical properties.

• The periodic table organizes the elements into periods (rows) and

groups or families (columns); elements with similar properties are

in the same group.

• Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.

Lesson 2 

CLASSIFICATION OF THE ELEMENTS

• The periodic table has four blocks (s, p, d, f).

• Elements within a group have similar chemical properties.

• The group number for elements in groups 1 and 2 equals the

element’s number of valence electrons.

• The energy level of an atom’s valence electrons equals its period

number.

Lesson 3 

PERIODIC TRENDS

• ion

• ionization energy

• octet rule

• electronegativity

• Atomic and ionic radii decrease from left to right across a period,

and increase as you move down a group.

• Ionization energies generally increase from left to right across a

period, and decrease down a group.

• The octet rule states that atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to

acquire a full set of eight valence electrons.

• Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a

period, and decreases down a group.
