Sample Problems1. Without looking at the periodic table, give the
group, period, and block in which the element with the electron configuration [Xe]6s2 is located.
Group 2, sixth period, s-block
2. Without looking at the periodic table, write the electron configuration for the Group 1 element in the third period. Is this element likely to be more active or less active than the element in #1?
1s22s22p63s1; more reactive
Hydrogen and HeliumHydrogen and helium are the most abundant elements
in the universe. Hydrogen makes up 76 % of the mass of the universe and helium makes up 23 %.
Hydrogen 1s1
• Despite the same outer configuration as the alkali metals, H has unique properties unlike any other group.
Helium 1s2
• Although its configuration is similar to the alkaline earth metals, it has the properties of a noble gas due to its filled outer energy level.
d-Block elements
d-Block elements• d-Block elements are known as transition
metals• Have common metallic properties• Conduct heat and electricity• Less reactive than alkali and alkaline earth
metals• Some are very unreactive: Au, Pt, Pd, Ag
d-Block elementsDeviations from orbital filling:
Nickel (Ni): [Ar]4s23d8
Palladium (Pd): [Kr]5s04d10
Platinum (Pt): [Xe]6s14f145d9
• In each case the sum of s and d electrons is 10
d-Block elementsOxidation States• Most transition metals are multivalent
Iron (Fe): [Ar]4s23d6
Iron II (Fe2+): [Ar]4s13d5
Iron III (Fe3+): [Ar]4s03d5
p-Block elements• p-Block and s-block elements together are
known as the main group elements.• Properties vary considerably• Includes nonmetals, metalloids, and metals
p-Block elementsMetalloids (semi-metals)• B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po?, At?• Properties of both metals and nonmetals
• Brittle solids• Conduct electricity
Silicon
p-Block ElementsMetals• Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sn, Pb, Bi• Reactive and found in nature as part of
compounds• Relatively stable in elemental form• Softer and less dense than d-block metals. (Pb
is an exception.)
p-Block ElementsHalogens• Group 17 nonmetals• Very reactive; react with most metals to
form salts• one electron short of noble gas
configuration• Form -1 ions
