1. Coloring the Periodic Table Families

2. Families on the Periodic Table
Elements are grouped into families bases on their chemical properties.
Each family has a specific name
Elements in each family
react differently with
other elements of other
families.

3. ALKALI METALS Group 1 or IA Starts with lithium not hydrogen
All metals
Soft and silvery metals
Very reactive, esp. with water
Conduct electricity
1 electron in the last orbit

4. ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 or IIA Starts with Berelium All metals
White and malleable(stretched or bent)
Reactive, but less than Alkali metals
Conduct electricity
2 electrons in last orbit

5. TRANSITION METALS Groups IB-VIIIB or 3-12
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
All metals
Used to make things, specially jewellery.
Forms bright colored solutions
VIII B is split into three groups.

6. BORON FAMILY Group 3 or IIIA Starts with Boron. Boron is a metalloid
Rest of them are metals.
3 electrons in last orbit

7. CARBON FAMILY Group 4 or IVA Starts with carbon which is non metal.
Followed with Si and Ge which are metalloids
Ends with metals Tin and Lead.
4 electrons in the last orbit

8. NITROGEN FAMILY Group 5 or VA Starts with Nitrogen-nonmetals
Followed by Aresenic-metalloid
Ends with Bismuth-metals
5 electrons in the last orbit

9. OXYGEN FAMILY Group 6 or VIA Starts with Oxygen-nonmetal
Telurium-metalloid
Ends with metal
6 electrons in the last orbit

10. Halogens Group 7 or VIIA Starts with Hydrgen All are non-metals
Very reactive elements
Quickly forms bonds with Group 1 elements
7 electrons in the outer shell

11. Noble Gases Group 8 or VIIIA 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

12. PERIODS There are 1-7 periods Period 6 and 7 are split into:
Lanthanide series
Actinide series

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