The ________________________ changes from basic to amphoteric

and then acidic across the period.

Proton number
Proton number is increasing at one unit when across the period

Size of atom
The atomic radius is decreasing when across the period

why?
- All the element in period 3 have three filled electron shell but
the proton is increasing by one unit across the period
- As a result, the increase of proton number is increasing the
electrostatic force between the nucleus and the valence
electron
- The valence electron are pulled closer to the nucleus,
causing the atomic radius to decrease

Electronegativity
The electronegativity increases across the period
why?

17
 JOM KIMIA A1

- Electronegativity is a measurement of the tendency of an

element to attract the electrons
- The force of attraction of the nucleus is increase when
across the period because the size of atomic radius is
decreasing and the proton number is increasing.

Uses of semi-metals
- Silicon is a semi-metal, known as metalloid.
- Silicon is use in microelectronic industry like transistor,diode
and another electronic component.
- Silicon can be built onto a crystal of silicon to make a

1. Transition elements show different oxidation number in their
compounds.

They exhibit a wide range of oxidation states or positively charged

forms. The positive oxidation states allow transition elements to
form many different ionic and partially ionic compounds.

All the transition elements except scandium and zinc have

more than one oxidation number.
