You need 11 different colors

Instructions for coloring the periodic table: 1. Read each slide thoroughly 2. Color the appropriate group 3. Be sure to color code the key the same color that you use for the periodic table 4. color each group a different color! 5. Copy the notes for each group in your ISN. Start your notes on page 112 in your ISN.

Step one Copy the key onto the back of your periodic table that is on page 6 in your ISN ** If you don’t have room, you can make your key on page 7 or 8. Example: Hydrogen Nitrogen Family Alkali MetalsOxygen Family Alkali Earth MetalsHalogen Family Transition MetalsNoble Gases Boron FamilyRare Earth Metals Carbon Family

Step 2 Number the columns on the Periodic Tables Write the numbers at the top of each column

Step 3 Along the left hand margin, number the first 7 rows of the Periodic Table 1-7.

Hydrogen color ONLY hydrogen “color 1” on the periodic table and color code your key!

ALKALI METALS Group 1 Color this group color 2 on your periodic table and on your key. This family is the remaining elements in group one under Hydrogen!

ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 Color the Alkaline Earth Metals color 3 on your periodic table and on your key

TRANSITION METALS Groups 3-12 Color Transition Metals color 4 on your periodic table and on your key

BORON FAMILY Group 13 Color Boron Family color 5 on your periodic table and on your key

CARBON FAMILY Group 14 Color Carbon Family with color 6 on your periodic table and on your key

NITROGEN FAMILY Group 15 Color the nitrogen family with color 7 on your periodic table and on your key

OXYGEN FAMILY or Chalcogens Group 16 Color the Oxygen family with color 8 on your periodic table and on your key

Halogens Group 17 Color the Halogen group with color 9 on your periodic table and on your key

Noble Gases Group 18 Color the noble gases with color 10 on your periodic table and on your key

Rare Earth Metals Color Rare Earth Metals with color 11 on your periodic table and on your key

After you have finished coloring the periodic table begin taking notes on the following slides page 112 in your ISN

Families on the Periodic Table Elements on the periodic table are grouped into families based on their chemical properties. Each family has a specific name to differentiate it from the other families in the periodic table. Elements in each family react differently with other elements.

Hydrogen Hydrogen belongs to a family of its own. Hydrogen is a reactive gas. Hydrogen was involved in the explosion of the Hindenberg. Hydrogen is promising as an alternative fuel source for automobiles color hydrogen color 1

Alkali Metals 1 st column on the periodic table (Group 1) not including hydrogen. Very reactive metals Conduct electricity Soft and silvery metals

Alkaline Earth Metals Second column on the periodic table. (Group 2) Reactive metals White and malleable Conduct electricity

Transition Metals Less reactive harder metals Includes metals used in jewelry and construction. Good conductors of heat and electricity.

Boron Family Aluminum metal was once rare and expensive, not a “disposable metal.” Most are metals

Carbon Family Contains elements important to life and computers. Carbon is the basis for an entire branch of chemistry. Silicon and Germanium are important semiconductors. Contains metals, metalloids, and a non-metal Carbon (C)

Nitrogen Family Nitrogen makes up over ¾ of the atmosphere. The red stuff on the tip of matches is phosphorus. Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals

Oxygen Family or Chalcogens. Many things that stink, contain sulfur (rotten eggs, garlic, skunks,etc.) Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals Reactive

Halogens Very reactive, volatile, diatomic, nonmetals Always found combined with other element in nature. Used as disinfectants and to strengthen teeth. All are non-metals

The Noble Gases VERY unreactive, monatomic gases Used in lighted “neon” signs Exist as gases Non-metals

Rare Earth Metals Some are Radioactive The rare earths are silver, silvery-white, or gray metals. Conduct electricity
