| In the pages of this section we'll consider several important aspects of
atomic structure that influence the periodic atomic properties and the chemical properties
of the different elements. (These are also listed for you in objective 7.) Your
understanding of these aspects will serve as your foundation for understanding how an
element's position on the periodic table is related to its atomic and chemical properties. |
