Identify the positions of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids in the periodic table. Identify the four blocks associated with the sublevelss,p,d, andf.
Deduce the electron configuration of an atom up to Z = 36 from the elements position in the periodic table and vice versa. Recall the classifications of alkali metals, halogens, transition metals, and noble gases.
Define periodicity as trends in properties of elements across a period and down a group. Explain the periodicity of atomic radius, ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity.
Describe and explain the reactions of group 1 metals with water, and of group 17 elements with halide ions.
