Periodic Table ReviewPeriodic Table Review

The periodic table is a tool for organizing the elements. A row of elements is called a period. A column of elements is called a group or family. The zigzag line reminds you where the metals, nonmetals, and metalloids are. Metals are to the left Nonmetals are to the right Metalloids are along the line

Periods Each row is called a “period” The elements in each period have the same number of shells

Groups Each column is called a “group” Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells”. Except for He, it has 2 electrons The electrons in the outer shell are called “valence electrons”

Groups and Valence Group #1 1A 2 2A 13 3A 14 4A 15 5A 16 6A 17 7A 18 8A # of valence electrons

Discussion: Groups and Valence Electrons The elements in a group have similar properties and react/behave in similar ways. Valence electrons are those located in the outermost energy level of an atom – Atoms are “happy” and stable when their outermost energy level is full – all of the Noble gases in group 18 are this way. – Atoms are reactive with other atoms when their outermost energy level is not full. – Atoms in the same group have the same # of valence electrons except the transition metals which do not follow the same pattern – Elements in a family increase in reactivity as you move down.

Transition Metals Transition Metals have slightly different rules for shells and valence electrons. This is something you will learn about in High School Chemistry.

Alkali Metals - 1 valence electron – Most reactive group of metals Alkaline Earth Metals - 2 valence electrons- Very reactive metals Halides/Halogens - 7 valence electrons – Most reactive group of non-metal Noble Gases - Complete outer shells – Most un-reactive elements
