PS-3 Periodicity. The periodic table presents a pattern of chemical and physical properties of the elements based on the element’s location on the periodic table. These properties are based on the electronic structure of the atoms and nuclear charge.                                                                  

  TS-3.1 History of the periodic table- A pattern of physical and chemical properties with the elements provides the basis for the periodic table                                                                  

    3.1.1 Explain how the first periodic table organized elements by mass and physical/chemical properties to predict the existence of unknown elements (Mendeleev)                                        

    3.1.2 Describe how the modern periodic law was developed using atomic number (Moseley)

    

  TS-3.2 Modern periodic table arrangement- The periodic table contains groups of elements that share common properties and electronic structures                                          

    3.2.1 Describe how elements are classified as metals, nonmetals & metalloids based on properties and their position on the periodic table.

Key Terms: conductivity (electrical & thermal), malleable, ductile, shiny, valence electrons

    3.2.2 Identify periods & families on the periodic table by name, common properties and electron structure 

Key Terms: Lewis-dot structure (electron-dot structure)

  TS-3.3 Explain how the following periodic table trends in properties can be inferred from the electron structure, nuclear charge and the effect of shielding by core electrons. 

    3.3.1 Describe the trends for atomic radius                                             

    3.3.2 Describe the trends for ionization energy                                       

    3.3.3 Describe the trends for electronegativity                                        

Key Terms: Effective nuclear charge                                                                                                                

    3.3.6 Describe the family trends for reactivity of metals and nonmetals
