How are the trends in the periodic table helpful in identifying an element?

∙ 11y ago
The periodic trends that arise from the arrangement of the Periodic Table provide chemists with an invaluable tool to quickly predict an element's properties. These trends exist because of the similar atomic structure of the elements within their respective group families or period and the periodic nature of the elements.

Who created an early periodic table of elements?
This is from wikipedia: Although precursors to this table exist, its invention is generally credited to Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869, who intended the table to illustrate recurring ("periodic") trends in the properties of the elements.
What is the basis in which the present day periodic table is organized?
The Periodic Table is organized by atomic number, metals, nonmetals, metalloids, periods, groups, and stability.
What three things can you predict about an element because of its position on the periodic table?
how many electrons it has---how many valence electrons and how many levels of electrons. its Atomic Mass its atomic number
Is it true that graphs are the only way to interpet data?
It allows you to see a change in the data which you can use to predict a trend or track other noteworthy details. Graphs turn raw data into easy to understand pictures for quick examination.
How is the periodic table set up?
If you do a chemistry degree you will likely have entire modules revolving around this and various trends. The periodic table is actually set up extremely carefully and cleverly. I'll give a quick overview. 4 Blocks: S Block - (Columns 1 and 2) - Valence electrons of elements is in the S orbital. D Block - (Columns 3 - 12) - Valence electrons of elements is in the D orbital. P Block - (Columns 13 - 18) - Valence electrons of elements is in the P orbital. F Block - (Those 2 rows at the bottom, separate) - Valence electrons in F orbital. And that makes sense. S shell holds 2 electrons, it has 2 columns. P shell holds 6 electrons, gets 6 columns and etc etc. So now we can see that S block column 2 has valence S2. Row 6 is P block. Valence is s2, p4. Total of 6 electrons. Since we can tell a LOT about an element's properties from its valence electrons, a glance at the periodic table proves to be extremely useful. The more you use it, the more obvious the trends become. We also get trends like electronegativity increasing toward the top right...and a hundred other trends, again it only takes a quick look at the periodic table to gain important knowledge. The rows, usually numbered down the left-side of the table show us what number our valence shell is (tells us the principle quantum number of the valence shell, n). For example: Vanadium is in D block. It's in group 5 and row 4. Right away I know Vanadium has 3d3 4s2 valence. D-Blocks have funny little quirks with how their shells fill but don't worry too much about that. Practice a few and it'll become very easy. The F-Block is kept well out of the way, which is a good idea considering they are generally less used...but more importantly, it keeps the table in a useful format. Plus it groups the F-Block together, which share some chemical properties and can be useful to view as a separate group. In almost any chemistry subject you do, there WILL be trends relating to it on the periodic table, just look for them. And good chemists can do huge amounts of work with atoms they know nothing about, using just the periodic table and some know-how.
Why is sodium the eleventh element?
Because it has 11 valence electrons Please see : Trends in the periodic table
What are 2 reasons for studying the periodic table?
Periodic table of elements provides us a lot of information about element's intrinsic properties. We can get the atomic weight of an element by looking at the periodic table. Trends about the electronegativity and atomic size can also be computed.
What is the noble gas configuration for element 117?
Based on the trends in the periodic table, the noble gas notation of the element with atomic number 117 will be[Rn]5f146d107s27p5
How do periodic trends affect bonding?
Periodic trends affect bonding due to the arrangement of the elements on the periodic table. The periodic table only includes chemical elements.
What are the names of the trends in the periodic chart?
No
What did organizing information on the periodic table reveal?
Periodic patterns and trends
How do periodic trends illustrate and change in chemistry?
Periodic trends illustrate how some elements are very reactive while others are stable.
The periodic table is called periodic because the?
in 1869 periodic trends in the properties of the then-known elements
Which 3 atomic properties will you examine for periodic trends?
For periodic trends we will examine1- Electronic configuration 2- Ionization energy 3- Atomic radius
How you can know that which element is mor reactive?
It depends on the placing of the element in the periodic table. For the far left, group 1, the most reactive element is the one closest to the bottom. For the far right, the most reactive is the one closest to the top. The table follows certain trends, depending on it's placement in the periodic table. By learning these trends, you'll be able to tell at a glance. For example, Francium, the bottom-left most element only ever exists for a fraction of a second; it's so reactive, it reacts when it is created.
