Group 1 on Periodic Tables
Alkali metals
chemically reactive (more reactive than group 2)
Group 2 on Periodic Table
Alkali Earth metals
chemically reactive
Group 17 on Periodic Table
halogen
highly reactive
Group 18 on Periodic Table
noble gases
extremely non reactive
Inner Transition Metals
2 sets: Lanthanide and Actinide
Atomic Radius across a period
Decreases: because increasing number of protons = increase charge = stronger pull of e- cloud = smaller atomic radius
Atomic Radius down a group
increases: more e- shells are added making radius bigger
Radius of Atom vs Ion
neutral atom is smaller than positive ion
: because has more electron shells
negative ion is bigger than neutral ion
: because more electrons in outer shell = increase repulsion between e- = creating larger radius
Ionization Energy
energy required to remove and electron from a gaseous atom
kJ/mol
High IE = strong hold on e- (less likely to form pos. ions)
Low IE = weak hold on e- (more likely to form pos. ions)
Ionization across a period
increased IE: nuclear charge increases and has more pull on valence electrons
Ionization down group
Decreased IE: greater distance between valence electrons and nucleus, so less energy required since pull isnt as strong
Octet Rule
atoms tend to gain, lose, or share e- to acquire full set of 8 valence electrons
Electronegativity
indicates relative ability of atoms to attract electron in chemical bond
*greater EN = more attraction of electrons in bond
increases as move across period and decreases as moves down group
waves
energy increases with increasing frequency
wavelength and frequency are related; as one increases the other decreases
purple = highest energy (high frequency)
red = lowest energy (low frequency)
lattice energy
energy needed to break 1 mole of an ionic compound into its gaseous ions
measured in kJ/mol
breaking down ions requires energy
forming compounds releases energy
High LE = strong attraction between positive and negative ions
Low LE = weak attraction

lattice energy down a group
LE decreases: because gets easier to break down structure because attraction of nucleus to electron is very low
factors that impact Lattice Energy
ionic radii
: big ions have less attractive force between ions than small ions
Magnitude of ionic change
: the higher the charge of the ions, the greater the attraction, and the higher the LE energy
metallic bond
metal + metal
rep. particle = atoms
ionic bond
ion + ion
rep. particle = formula units
covalent bond
matal + nonmetal
rep. particle = molecules
Molar mass
atomic mass expressed in grams / 1 mole
mass abundance
(mass) x (% abundance) = ____amu

1mi = 5280ft
percent composition
(mass of element) / (total compound mass) x 100 = _____ % (E)
atom formulas
atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
neutron formula
number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number
percentage error
(true value - experimental value) / true value x 100 = the error (low # = good & high # = bad)
the triangle
mass = density x volume
density = mass / volume
volume = mass / density
density of water
1.0g / ml
