Modern Periodic Law And The Present Form Of The Periodic Table

The section discusses the evolution of the Periodic Table from Mendeleev's initial framework to the modern understanding based on atomic numbers and electron configurations, highlighting key periodic trends and classifications of elements.

Nomenclature Of Elements With Atomic Numbers > 100

This section discusses the nomenclature of chemical elements with atomic numbers greater than 100, focusing on the systematic approach adopted by IUPAC in naming these elements.

Electronic Configurations Of Elements And The Periodic Table

This section explains the significance of electronic configurations in understanding the organization of the Periodic Table and its periodic trends.

Electronic Configurations In Periods

This section discusses the relationship between electronic configurations of elements and their arrangement in periods on the periodic table.

Groupwise Electronic Configurations

This section explains how the electronic configurations of elements in the periodic table relate to their group classifications and properties.

Electronic Configurations And Types Of Elements: S-, P-, D-, F- Blocks

This section explores the electronic configurations of elements in the Periodic Table, categorizing them into s-, p-, d-, and f-blocks based on their outermost electron configurations.

The S-Block Elements

The s-block elements include the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals characterized by their outer electron configurations.

The P-Block Elements

The p-block elements, spanning Groups 13 to 18 in the periodic table, showcase diverse properties and reactivities, primarily characterized by their outermost electronic configuration.

The D-Block Elements (Transition Elements)

The d-block elements, also known as transition elements, are characterized by the filling of d orbitals and possess unique properties such as variable oxidation states and the ability to form colored compounds.

The F-Block Elements (Inner-Transition Elements)

The f-block elements, comprising the lanthanoids and actinoids, are characterized by the filling of f orbitals and display unique properties related to their electronic configurations.

Metals, Non-Metals And Metalloids

This section discusses the classification of elements into metals, non-metals, and metalloids, along with their characteristics and positions in the periodic table.

Periodic Trends In Properties Of Elements

This section explores the observable patterns in the physical and chemical properties of elements as they are arranged in the periodic table, focusing on trends in atomic radius, ionization enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy, and electronegativity.

Trends In Physical Properties

This section explores the periodic trends in the physical properties of elements, particularly focusing on atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization enthalpy, electron gain enthalpy, and electronegativity.

Atomic Radius

This section discusses the atomic radius, a key factor in understanding atomic structure and periodic trends in the periodic table.

Ionic Radius

The ionic radius refers to the size of an ion, which varies depending on whether the ion is a cation or anion.

Ionization Enthalpy

Ionization enthalpy, the energy required to remove an electron from an atom, varies predictably across periods and down groups of the periodic table.

Electron Gain Enthalpy

Electron Gain Enthalpy quantifies the energy change when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form an anion, with variations in value reflecting trends across the periodic table.

Electronegativity

Electronegativity is a qualitative measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.

Periodic Trends In Chemical Properties

This section discusses how the periodic table displays trends in the valence state and properties of elements, emphasizing the periodicity influenced by electronic configurations.

Periodicity Of Valence Or Oxidation States

The periodicity of valence states in elements illustrates how their electronic configurations influence their oxidation states and chemical behavior.

Anomalous Properties Of Second Period Elements

This section discusses the unique chemical and physical behavior of the first elements in groups 1 to 17 of the periodic table, particularly lithium and beryllium, highlighting their distinct properties compared to their group counterparts.
