13. Alkali Metals Group 1A. Most reactive of all the metals.
Shiny, malleable, ductile.
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
1 Valence Electron.

14. Alkaline Earth Metals Group 2A.
They are never found uncombined in nature.
2 valence electrons.
Not as reactive as Alkali Metals.

15. Halogens
Group 7A
Only group with all three states of room temperature
7 valence electrons
Very reactive; fluorine is the most reactive element and combines with most other elements
The name halogen comes from the combination of the Greek work hals, meaning “salt” and the Latin word genesis, meaning “to be born.”
Compounds containing these are called “salts”

16. Noble Gases Group 8A Colorless gases that are extremely un-reactive.
Inactive- because their outermost energy level is full.
8 valence electrons
The s and p sublevels are completely filled with electrons—two electrons in the s sublevel and six electrons in the p sublevel.

17. Inner Transition Metals
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Are the Group B elements that are usually displayed in the main body of a periodic table (3B-8B, 1B-2B)
In atoms of a transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel contain electrons
These elements are characterized by the presence of electrons in d orbitals.
Lanthanides and Actinides
The 30 rare Earth elements.
Most elements are synthetic or man made.
In atoms of these elements, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel generally contain electrons.
The inner transition metals are characterized by the presence of electrons in f orbitals.
Poor Metals
Softer than transition metals.
Melting and boiling points are lower.

18. Nonmetals Hydrogen Poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Not ductile or malleable.
Brittle and break easily.
They are dull.
Many non-metals are gases.
The hydrogen square sits atop Family AI, but it is not a member of that family. Hydrogen is in a class of its own.
It’s a gas at room temperature.
It has one proton and one electron in its one and only energy level.
Hydrogen only needs 2 electrons to fill up its valence shell.

19. Metalloids Have properties of both metals and non-metals.
They are solids that can be shiny or dull.
They conduct heat and electricity better than non-metals but not as well as metals.
They are ductile and malleable.

20. Electron Configurations in Groups
The Representative Elements
This figure shows a portion of the periodic table containing Groups 1A through 7A.
Elements in Groups 1A through 7A are often referred to as representative elements because they display a wide range of physical and chemical properties.

21. Electron Configurations in Groups
The Representative Elements
In atoms of representative elements, the s and p sublevels of the highest occupied energy level are not filled.
In atoms of these Group 1 A elements, there is only one electron in the highest occupied energy level.
The electron is in an s sublevel.
