Periodic Table Cheat Sheet - How to use the Periodic Table to your advantage!

This video tutorial explains the organization of the periodic table, focusing on groups and periods, electron orbitals, valence electrons, and the classification of elements as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. It also covers how to determine the charge of elements based on their valence electrons and the octet rule.

How are groups and periods arranged on the periodic table?

• Both groups and periods are horizontal rows.

• Both groups and periods are vertical columns.

• Groups are vertical columns and periods are horizontal rows.

• Groups are horizontal rows and periods are vertical columns.

Which blocks of the periodic table correspond to the S and P orbitals?

• Groups 13-18 for S and Groups 1-2 for P.

• Groups 3-12 for S and Groups 1-2 for P.

• Groups 1-2 for S and Groups 13-18 for P.

• Groups 1-2 for S and Groups 3-12 for P.

What is the significance of valence electrons in determining chemical properties?

• They determine the atomic mass of an element.

• They influence the color of an element.

• They dictate the chemical reactivity and bonding of an element.

• They have no impact on chemical properties.

How many valence electrons do elements in Group 14 have?

• Four

• Two

• Six

• Eight

What separates metals from nonmetals on the periodic table?

• A vertical line

• A staircase line

• A horizontal line

• A diagonal line

What charge do elements in Group 1 typically have?

• 0

• -1

• +2

• +1

Why do elements in Group 18 have a charge of 0?

• They have 1 valence electron.

• They have no electrons.

• They are highly reactive.

• They have 8 valence electrons and are stable.
