  4. Electron Configuration

    Let's understand how electrons are allocated in the atom, as this is essential for chemists to predict the chemical properties of elements

    Electron Configuration

  5. Periodicity

    The periodic table tells us some periodical trends in some properties of elements, and we name these trends as periodicity

    Periodicity

    Periodicity I: the atomic radius

    Periodicity II: the ionic radius

    Periodicity III: ionization energy
