Periodic Table

Families on the Periodic Table The families are the columns. Elements can be grouped into families based: chemical properties Valance electron number Each family has a certain valence electron number. How do you solve for the valence number? Count the column it is in excluding the Transition Metals and that is the valence number.

What information can you find in each row? As you go across the row from left to right the elements become less reactive. As you go down the rows from top to bottom the atom becomes bigger. Why? The atomic number increases having more protons so therefore the number of electrons increases as does the size of the atom.

Three Types of Matter are found on the Periodic Table . . . Solids Ex: Gold, Copper, Iron, Sodium, Meitnerium, Einstinium, Carbon Liquids Ex: Mercury, Bromine Gas Radon, Chlorine, Nitrogen, Helium, Hydrogen

Understanding the Periodic Table Metals Are found on the left side of the staircase Physical Properties: Chemical Properties: Luster corrosive Ductile Malleable Conducts heat Conducts electricity

Nonmetals Location: to the right of the staircase Physical Properties: Chemical Properties: no luster high electron affinity dull in appearance less reactive than metals brittle not ductile and malleable low density values low melting points

Metalloids Location: found on both sides of the staircase Include: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po and At. Properties: they have properties of both metals and nonmetals. Metalloid means metallike. Physical Properties: solid can be shiny or dull can conduct heat and electricity ductile and malleable

ALKALI METALS Group 1 Hydrogen is not a member, it is a non-metal 1 electron in the outer shell Soft and silvery metals Very reactive, esp. with water Conduct electricity Image: http://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/groups2.html

ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 2 electrons in the outer shell White and malleable Reactive, but less than Alkali metals Conduct electricity

TRANSITION METALS Groups in the middle Good conductors of heat and electricity. Some are used for jewelry. The transition metals are able to put up to 32 electrons in their second to last shell. Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes.

BORON FAMILY Group 3 3 electrons in the outer shell Most are metals Boron is a metalloid

CARBON FAMILY Group 4 4 electrons in the outer shell Contains metals, metalloids, and a non-metal Carbon (C)

NITROGEN FAMILY Group 5 5 electrons in the outer shell Can share electrons to form compounds Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals

OXYGEN FAMILY Group 6 6 electrons in the outer shell Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals Reactive

Halogens Group 7 7 electrons in the outer shell All are non-metals Very reactive are often bonded with elements from Group 1

Noble Gases Group 8 Exist as gases Non-metals 8 electrons in the outer shell = Full Helium (He) has only 2 electrons in the outer shell = Full Not reactive with other elements

Rare Earth Metals Some are Radioactive Includes the Lanthanoid Series and Actinoid Series The rare earths are silver, silvery-white, or gray metals. Conduct electricity
