1
Family Names & Navigating the Periodic Table
2
Part 1 Metals, Nonmetals & Metalloids
3
Add this stair- step line to separate the metals from the non-metals
4
Everything above and to the right is a nonmetal
5
Nonmetals Tend to gain electrons Form negative ions (-) Do not conduct electricity Are brittle (unmalleable)
6
Everything below and to the left is a metal
7
Metals Tend to lose electrons Form positive ions (+) Are malleable and ductile Conduct electricity
8
Metalloids Mark these with an *: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At These sometimes act like a metal, sometimes like a nonmetal.
9
Part II Families in the Periodic table
10
Elements are arranged in Families: Columns (up and down) Families have similar properties Usually have the same number of valence electrons React similarly
11
Alkali Metals The first column One valence electron Explosively reactive Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr Form bases (alkaline) solutions
12
Alkaline Earth Metals Are the second column Have two valence electrons Stable in air, but React quickly with a little energy Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra Make up many minerals
13
Transition Metals are everything in Columns 3 - 12 Tend to be what we think of when we think metals Cr – Chrome, Au – Gold, Fe – Iron, Cu – Copper Have no rule for valence electrons
14
Noble Gases are the very last column Have eight valence electrons except Helium (He) has 2 Are very stable Do not react with anything (usually)
15
Halogens Column 17 next to noble gases Have seven valence electrons Extremely reactive F, Cl, Br, I, At Often used to kill bacteria (think choline bleach, bromine in spas or pools)
16
Representative Elements Columns 13 – 16 Start with nonmetals at the top and metals at the bottom Have a metalloid in the middle
17
13:Boron Family, 3 valence electrons 14: Carbon Family, 4 valence electrons 15:Nitrogen Family, 5 valence electrons 16: Oxygen Family, 6 valence electrons
18
The Two rows separated at the bottom are the Rare Earth Metals and are referred to by the first element in their row
19
The First Row are the Lanthanides, After La, Lanthanum The Second Row are the Actinides, after Ac, Actinium

Worksheet Good job guys! Worksheet is not homework, we’ll continue with this Monday!
