Electrons and Periodic Behavior



  1. Students know how to use the periodic table to identify alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals, semimetals, nonmetals, and halogens.

    • carbon is an example of a
    • lithium is an example of an
    • iron is an example of a
    • phosphorus is an example of a
    • calcium is an example of an
    • chlorine is an example of a
    • silicon is an example of a

  2. Students know how to use the periodic table to identify trends in ionization energy, electronegativity, and the relative sizes of ions and atoms.

    • atomic radius tends to down a group
    • atomic radius tends to across a period
    • ionization energy tends to down a group
    • ionization energy tends to across a period
    • electronegativity tends to down a group
    • electronegativity tends to across a period
    • Anions have a charge. They are than the atoms from which they were formed.
    • Cations have a charge. They are than the atoms from which they were formed.
