Key Concepts

Representative Elements Representative elements, also known as main-group elements, refer to those elements in the periodic table that exhibit a wide range of physical and chemical properties and are typically found in the s- and p-blocks. They serve as common examples or 'representatives' of the trends and behaviors observed within their respective groups, making them fundamental to understanding chemical reactivity, bonding, and periodic trends. Periodic Table Organization The periodic table is organized based on increasing atomic number and groups elements with similar chemical properties together. Representative elements occupy a significant portion of the table and their arrangement into groups allows chemists to predict behaviors such as ionization energy, electron affinity, and metallic character, demonstrating the systematic nature of elemental properties.
