Chapter 4-3 Warm - Up 1. How are periods and groups organized in the periodic table? 2. What is the difference between an anion and cation? 3. What is the atomic mass, # of protons, neutrons, and electrons in Boron? 4. What is an isotope?

Chapter 4-3 Atoms and the Periodic Table
Families of Elements
3
Three Groups of Elements
1st Group: Metals – Shiny and conducts heat and electricity
4
Three Groups of Elements
2nd Group: Nonmetals – Elements that don’t conduct heat or electricity
5
Three Groups of Elements
3rd Group: Semiconductors – Element or compound that conducts heat and electricity but not as well as a metal
6
Properties of Metals Conductor - heat and electricity
Solid at room temperature (except Mercury Hg). Luster – Reflect light Malleable - hammered / rolled into sheets. Ductile - drawn into wires
7
Alkali Metals
8
Alkali Metals
9
Alkali Metals Most reactive Softer than other metals
Don’t occur in nature Salt NaCl 1 electron in its outer energy level (Group 1)
10
Alkaline Earth Metals
11
Alkaline Earth Metals
12
Alkaline Earth Metals 2 electrons in its outer energy level (Group 2)
Magnesium – fireworks, ladders, planes, bats Calcium – strong bones Radium – treats cancer
13
Transition Elements
14
Transition Elements Group 3 -12 Less reactive Found as free metals
Commonly found in nature
15
Synthetic Elements Man Made Radioactive – Nuclei decaying
Elements greater than 92 Used in medicine, smoke detectors, and weapons
16
Nonmetals Oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur Plentiful on Earth
Found on right side of table
17
Halogens
18
Halogens Group 17 Very reactive
Seven valence electrons – 1 to complete
19
Uses of Halogens Chlorine compounds are used to disinfect water
Bromine compounds are used as dyes in cosmetics Iodine – hormone production When heated, iodine changes directly to a purple vapor (sublimation)
20
Noble Gases
21
Noble Gases Un-reactive - outermost energy levels are full
Exists as a single atom instead of a molecule Group 18
22
Noble Gases Group 18 Helium - light weight makes it useful in hot air balloons Neon and argon - used in “neon lights” for advertising
23
Semiconductors 6 elements
Semiconductors - Can conduct electricity better than most nonmetals, but not as well as some metals Silicon – used in computer chips
