Module 7
Explaining the Periodic Table
1
Electron Configuration: Mastering the Rules
Apply the Aufbau principle, Pauli principle, and Hund's rule to write the ground-state electron configuration for any given element.
2
Atomic Radius Trends: ENC and Quantum Number
Predict and justify the periodic trend in atomic radius using the concepts of effective nuclear charge and principal quantum number.
3
First Ionization Energy: Trends & Influencing Factors
Predict and justify the periodic trend in first ionization energy, linking it to atomic size, Zeff, and orbital stability.
4
Ionization Energy Anomalies and Electron Configuration
Analyze anomalies in ionization energy trends (e.g., between groups 2 and 13, and 15 and 16) by examining their specific electron configurations.
5
Electron Affinity: Trends & Influencing Factors
Predict and justify the periodic trend in electron affinity, considering factors like Zeff, shielding, and subshell stability.
