The Periodic Table
Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
- draw out the electron configuration for atoms in the s-, p- and d- blocks of the Periodic Table, including unpaired electrons
- assign atoms to appropriate groups in the Periodic Table on the basis of their properties
- give examples of periodic trends and chemical properties used to construct the Periodic Table
- explain periodic trends in atomic radii and ionization energies in terms of size and effective nuclear charge
- give examples of essential, toxic and medicinal elements
- describe how the role of these elements relates to their chemical properties
