Acids, pH Scale, and Periodic Table Properties

 Understand acid characteristics.

 Memorize the pH scale.

 Learn the periodic table trends.

Periodic Table Trends

 Atomic size (increases down a group, decreases across a period)

 Electronegativity (decreases down a group, increases across a period)

 Ionization energy (decreases down a group, increases across a period)

 Reactivity (metals: more reactive down a group; non-metals: less reactive down a
group)

Reactivity Series and Periodic Table Groups

 Memorize the reactivity series of metals.

 Group 1 elements (highly reactive, stored in oil, reactivity increases down the group)

 Group 7 elements (reactivity decreases down the group, exist as diatomic molecules,
form salts with metals)
 Transition elements (found in the middle block of the periodic table, have multiple
oxidation states, form colored compounds, often used as catalysts)

 Noble gases (unreactive due to a full outer electron shell, used in neon lights,
balloons, and welding)

Balancing Chemical Equations

metals).

(alkalies).

sulfate.

Hydrogen Sulfate

 Understand that any metal with hydrogen sulfate is automatically considered acidic.
