How was the original Periodic Table organized? Compare it to today’s version; include a discussion of

Periodic Law?

Include a discussion of metals, metalloids, and nonmetals on the table. Include major properties of the

3 regions. You might include a diagram or pic of the table showing the different regions.

What are the families and discuss some of their important properties? You should include a diagram or

picture of the table broken up into each family.

List some of the properties and some common uses an important element or two in each group.

What are valence electrons and why are they important?

How do we determine the number of valence electrons an element has?

How can we shorten electron configurations to concentrate more on the valence electrons?

What is the Octet Rule? And how does it relate to how “active” an element is?

How can we use the valence electrons and the octet rule to predict the charge an element will obtain?

Explain or give an example.

How is the radius of an element determined, why? What tends to happen to the size of an atom as we

go across a period and then as we go down a group on the PT?

What is ionization energy, how does it relate to the charge of an ion, and what tends to happen to this

energy as we go across a period, and as we go down a group on the PT?

What is electronegativity, how does it affect a chemical bond, and what tends to happen to this

property as we go across a period, and as we go down a group on the PT?

What is effective nuclear charge? Explain it and discuss what it tends to do as we go across a period

and as we go down a group on the PT. Use it to explain the periodic trends.
