Document Summary

1f. 1 the general structure of the periodic table. The periodic table is divided into blocks, named for the last subshell that is occupied according to the building-up principle (s-,p-,d-,f-) The s- and p- blocks form the main groups of the periodic table. The f-block elements have very similar chemical properties because their electron configurations differ only in the population of inner f-orbitals and electrons in these orbitals do not participate much in bond formation. To summarize, the blocks of the periodic table are named for the last orbital to be occupied according to the building-up principle. The periods are numbered according to the principal quantum number of the valence shell. Atomic radius: half the distance between the centers of neighboring atoms. If the element is a metal, its atomic radius is taken to be half the distance between the centers of neighboring atoms in a solid sample.
