Catalyst
1. What are the periods on the periodic table? What are the groups?
Periods are the horizontal rows and groups are the columns.

11. IV. The Periodic Table

12. A. The periodic table is table/chart in which the elements are arranged in the order of increasing atomic numbers.
B. The periodic table was developed by a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev.

13. C. Reading the periodic table
Number of Electrons in each shell
Atomic number 2 6 8 O
Element symbol
Element name
Oxygen
Atomic mass

15. D. Using to periodic table
Always look at the key for each periodic table used.
1. Atomic number - is the number of protons and electrons for each atom. It is also the order in which the modern periodic table is set up.
2. . Atomic mass- is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom.

16. Quick Review! Atomic Mass: Add what two things?
Atomic Number: is the number of what two things?

17. Quick Review! Atomic Mass: Add what two things?
Protons + Neutrons = Atomic Mass
(Remember: Pete and Ned from the Atoms family!)
2. Atomic Number: is the number of what two things?
Protons and Electrons
(Remember: P.E.)

18. E. The Number of Neutrons in an Atom
To find the number of neutrons in an atom use the following formula:
Neutrons= Atomic Mass-Atomic Number
Ex. To find the number of neutrons in a Carbon atom you would subtract the
Atomic Mass (12) - Atomic number (6) this =
6 neutrons

19. Practice finding neutrons!!!
Find the number of neutrons in the following elements:
(Lithium) Li=
(Sodium) Na=
(Potassium) K=

20. Practice finding neutrons
Find the number of neutrons in the following elements:
Li= 6.9(round to 7)-3=
Na= 22.9(round to23)-11=
K= 39.1(round to 39)-19=
Li= 4 neutrons
Na= 12 neutrons
K= 20 neutrons

21. VI. Families and periods
A. The number of rings and number of electrons on the last ring of any given element determines it position on the period table.
B. Groups- vertical columns
*Similar chemical properties

22. C. Each horizontal row on the periodic table is called a period.
*Not alike, but have the same number of energy levels
