Chemistry, like math and the other sciences, is built upon information that you have previously learned. Because of this, some lessons will require reviewing the information provided in other chemistry lessons and previous science lessons (a link will be provided so a search is not necessary).

Objectives

After studying this lesson, you will know

• the connection between atomic number, mass, and the place in the 
  Periodic Table,
   
• where the metals, semi-metals, non-metals, and halogens are in the 
  Periodic Table,
    
• how to find alkali-metals, alkaline earth metals, and transition metals,
   
• where the lanthanides, actinides, and the transactinide elements are,
   
• transuranium elements are artificial,
   
• how the ionization energy and electronegativity change in the Periodic 
  Table,
   
• how the ionic and atomic sizes change from left to right and from top to 
  the bottom in the Periodic Table,
   
• how many electrons are available for bonding,
   
• where the most of the atom's mass is,
   
• how to determine the quantum electron configuration from the Periodic 
  Table, and
   
• how an element reacts with others.
