Learning Objectives
- Understand the historical development of the Periodic Table and the Modern Periodic Law.
- Calculate periodic trends in atomic and ionic radii, ionization enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy, and electronegativity across periods and groups.
- Analyze the relationship between electronic configurations of elements and their positions in the Periodic Table, including s, p, d, and f block elements.
- Examine chemical reactivity trends in elements based on their periodic properties, including reactions with oxygen and halogens.
- Study the unique chemical behavior of the first elements in each group of the s- and p-blocks due to their small size and high electronegativity.
- Understand the systematic naming of elements with atomic numbers greater than 100, based on IUPAC recommendations.
- Investigate the characteristics of d-block (transition) and f-block (inner-transition) elements, including their electronic configurations and typical properties.
- Classify elements into s, p, d, and f blocks, including representative elements, transition elements, inner-transition elements, lanthanoids, and actinoids.
- Explore valence trends among representative elements, common oxidation states, covalency, and formula patterns of hydrides and oxides across periods/groups.
