The video here today, we're going to be talking about periodic properties.
00:03
And on the left right here, i have a periodic table to help us kind of understand what exactly is meant by a periodic property.
00:09
So just to give you a quick textbook definition of what a periodic property is, it refers to properties of an element that can be determined just by looking at its position in the periodic table.
00:21
So just some examples of periodic properties is atomic radius.
00:25
So how big a particular atom is.
00:30
Another example might be ionization energy, which is basically how willing an element is to give up an electron.
00:41
Conversely, you can also have electronegativity, which is kind of the opposite of ionization, which basically refers to how badly an atom wants an electron.
00:53
But anyway, the point is that, these are properties of an atom that you can determine just by looking at where it is on the periodic table.
01:02
So, for example, if you look at this column right here, every single atom in this column has a very high electronegativity and has a low atomic radius.
01:15
Similarly, if you look at all the atoms here, so hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, so on and so forth, you'll know that they have a high atomic radius and a low electric negativity...
