Key Concepts You Will Study
Students should read the chapter with a pen and note each trend as it appears. These trends explain almost every reactivity comparison asked later.
- The modern periodic law and how periods and groups are built from configuration.
- Locating an element in the s, p, d and f blocks from its electronic configuration.
- Trends in atomic and ionic radii across a period and down a group.
- Ionization enthalpy and electron gain enthalpy, including their irregularities.
- Electronegativity, valence and periodicity of chemical properties.
Why Download the NCERT Book PDF for This Chapter
