Coloring the Periodic Table Families
Describe the arrangement of elements in the periodic table. Trends!
Mr. D Physical Science

2. Directions Obtain a periodic table or download it
Read through the PowerPoint and color as indicated

3. Period and Groups
When a column goes from top to bottom, it's called a group. The elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer orbital (Valence).
When you look at a periodic table, each of the rows is considered to be a different period

4. Reactivity
Alkali Metals and Halogens are very reactive because they have either 1 or 7 valence electrons

5. Families on the Periodic Table
Elements on the periodic table can be grouped into families bases 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.

6. ALKALI METALS Group 1 Hydrogen is not a member, it is a non-metal
Soft and silvery metals
Very reactive, esp. with water
Conduct electricity
Color Light Blue

7. ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 White and malleable
Reactive, but less than Alkali metals
Conduct electricity
Color Dark Green

8. TRANSITION METALS Groups 3- 12
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Some are used for jewelry.
Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes.
Color Dark Blue

9. BORON FAMILY
Group 13
Most are metals
Boron is a metalloid
Color Red

10. CARBON FAMILY
Group 14
Contains metals, metalloids, and a non-metal Carbon (C)
Color Yellow

11. NITROGEN FAMILY Group 15 Can share electrons to form compounds
Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals
Color Bright Green

12. OXYGEN FAMILY Group 16 Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals
Reactive
Color ORANGE

13. Halogens Group 17 7 electrons in the outer shell All are non-metals
Very reactive are often bonded with elements from Group 1
Color Yellow

14. Noble Gases Group 18 Exist as gases Non-metals
Not reactive with other elements
Color Grey

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