- The Periodic TableThe modern periodic table has 118 elements arranged in order of atomic number in vertical columns called groups and rows called periods.
- PeriodicityPeriodicity is the repeating trend in the properties of the elements across a period These include electron configuration, ionisation energy…
- Atomic RadiiAn atom does not have a well-defined boundary so the atomic radius is measured by measuring the distance between two adjacent nuclei and then…
- Melting and Boiling TemperaturesMelting and Boiling Temperatures The melting temperature increases across period 3 from group 1 to group 3.
- First Ionisation EnergiesIonisation energy depends on nuclear charge shielding/ quantum shell and distance from nucleus the orbital As we go across a period, the nuclear…
- AnomaliesIonisation Energies - anomalies Period 2: 1.
