Understanding Concepts, continued 5. Why are the elements in Group 1 the most reactive?
Understanding Concepts, continued • Why are the elements in Group 1 the most reactive? Answer: They have only one valence electron, which is easily shared with any element with a partially filled electron orbital.
Understanding Concepts, continued • If the element ununoctium is ever synthesized,it will be located directly under radon, xenon and krypton on the periodic table. What would ununoctium’s atomic number be? Predict ununoctium’s properties.
Understanding Concepts, continued • If the element ununoctium is ever synthesized,it will be located directly under radon, xenon and krypton on the periodic table. What would ununoctium’s atomic number be? Predict ununoctium’s properties. Answer: 118; inert, nonreactive, full electron shells
Understanding Concepts, continued 7. What group of elements has some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals? How does the periodic table reflect this fact?
Understanding Concepts, continued • What group of elements has some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals? How does the periodic table reflect this fact? Answer: Metalloids, or semiconductors; they are located on the border between the metals and nonmetals.
Reading Skills MENDELEEV’S DISCOVERY On March 6, 1869, Mendeleev made a formal presentation to introduce his new periodic table. He explained that elements that have similar chemical properties either have atomic masses that are nearly the same value (as have Os, Ir and Pt) or have atomic masses that increase regularly (as have K, Rb, and Cs). Arranging the elements in rows, within which they are in order of their atomic masses, creates columns corresponding to electron valencies. The elements whose particles are the most widely diffused—gases—have small atomic masses. Mendeleev told scientists that they should expect the discovery of some new elements. Two of the elements whose existence he predicted are gallium and germanium. Based on their location in the periodic table (directly below aluminum and silicon), he accurately predicted their atomic masses to be between 65 and 75.

Reading Skills, continued 10. When Mendeleev predicted the existence of the elements gallium and germanium, he temporarily named these elements ekaaluminum and ekasilicon. What does the prefix eka- mean, in terms of the layout of the periodic table? Answer: In the same column, because of similar properties; but one row down, because of a higher atomic number.
