2
Periods Each row is called a “period” The elements in each period have the same number of shells or electron energy levels www.chem4kids.com
3
Groups Each column is called a “group” Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells” or energy levels Except for He, it has 2 electrons The electrons in the outer shell or energy level are called “valence electrons” www.chem4kids.com
4
Transition Metals Transition Metals have slightly different rules for shells and valence electrons. This is something you will learn about in High School Chemistry. www.chem4kids.com
5
Determine the number of shells and the number of valence electrons for: www.chem4kids.com
6
Determine the number of energy levels and the number of valence electrons for: www.chem4kids.com
18
Helium is the exception in Group 8. Since it has just one energy level, that shell can only fit 2 electrons instead of 8. It is in this group because all the elements have a full outer energy level.
