1. Periodic law
2. Electronic configuration of the first thirty elements
3. Blocks of elements – metals, non-metals, metalloids and transition metals
4. Families; S-P-D-F (according to group I-VIII to group IA- Alkalis metals, group IIA- Alkali earth and other family names)

PERIOD 1 AND 2: PERIODIC LAW

Periodic Table: This shows the arrangement or grouping of elements in order of increasing atomic number.

Periodic Law: Is the basic assumption behind the modern periodic table; it states that the properties of the elements are the periodic function of their atomic number.

ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION OF THE FIRST THIRTY ELEMENTS

The electronic configuration of an atom is the representation of the arrangement of the electrons distributed among the orbital shells and subshells. Commonly, the electronic configuration is used to describe the orbitals of an atom in its ground state

MEANING OF ATOMIC ORBITAL

Orbital is the region of space around the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding electron. The four different types of orbitals are s, p, d, and f. These orbitals have different shapes and one orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons. The p-orbital has three degenerate orbitals, with a maximum of six electrons, d has five sub orbitals with a maximum of ten electrons and the f-orbital has seven sub-orbitals with maximum of fourteen electrons.

Orbitals	Number of sub-orbitals	Max.no. electrons	Shape
S	–	2	Spherical
P	3	6	Dumb-bell
D	5	10	Double dumb-bell
F	7	14	Complex

RULES   AND PRINCIPLES FOR FILLING IN ELECTRONS

Aufbau Principle: states that electrons are filled in their orbital in order of increasing energy level. The order is as follows:

1s < 2s < 2p< 3s < 3p <4s < 3d <4p etc.
