4.3 FAMILIES OF ELEMENTS I can: -recognize the periodic table was made by placing elements with similar physical and chemical properties in the appropriate groups or families. -recognize that association with group or family is based on similar chemical or physical properties -determine if an element is a metal or nonmetal based on its position on the periodic table and associate specific properties with those positions -distinguish that an element is a metalloid and has some properties of metals and nonmetals. R -identify the specific families for metals, nonmetals, metalloids, periods and groups or families and associate families with the type of element (metal, nonmetal, metalloid)

HOW ARE ELEMENTS CLASSIFIED? 3 groups Metals: elements that are shiny and conducts heat and electricity well. Nonmetals: an element conducts heat and electricity poorly Could be solid, liquid or gas. Solids=brittle Semiconductors: element that conducts electric current better than insulator, but not as well as conductor. Still considered nonmetal.
4
METALS Alkali metal: group 1 Soft, shiny, react violently with water. One valence electron Some are so reactive, they are only found as compounds. Alkaline-earth metals: group 2 Two valence electrons (typically form compounds) Ca: Coral, limestone, marble Mg: lightest metal (planes), medicines.
5
METALS, CONT. Transition metals: Groups 3-12 Much less reactive Still conducts heat and electricity Can obtain a variety of different charges. Easily shaped (copper, iron, gold silver)
6
SYNTHETIC ELEMENTS Technetium and promethium are man-made. Both radioactive= nucleui continually decaying to make different elements. Promethium: glow in the dark paints
7
NONMETALS Some elements in groups 13-16 (except for H) Halogens: Group 17 Chlorine (Cl 2 ) is a poisonous gas, but when combine with Ca, can be used to kill bacteria in pools and drinking water. Fluorine: poisonous gas, but F - is used in toothpaste and prevents took decay. NaCl Noble Gases: Group 18 Unreactive because p and s orbitals are full of electrons.
8
SEMICONDUCTORS (6 METALLOIDS) Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, and Tellurium Non metals that share a few properties with metals. Boron added to steel to increase strength at high temperatures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2aWO5cL410 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2aWO5cL410
