The Periodic TableSection 2 The Role of Electrons 〉 Why do elements within a group of the periodic table have similar chemical properties? 〉 The periodic trends in the periodic table are the result of electron arrangement.
2
The Periodic TableSection 2 The Role of Electrons, continued Valence electrons account for similar properties. An element’s location in the periodic table is related to electron arrangement. –Example: Lithium and sodium, in Group 1, each have one valence electron.
3
The Periodic TableSection 2 Ion Formation 〉 What happens to an atom that gains or loses electrons? 〉 If an atom gains or loses electrons the atom has a net electric charge, because it no longer has an equal number of electrons and protons. The charges do not cancel completely.
4
The Periodic TableSection 2 Ion Formation, continued Group 1 elements form positive ions. Group 17 elements form negative ions. –The single valence electron is easily removed. –The addition of one valence electron fills the outer energy level.
5
The Periodic TableSection 2 How Are Elements Classified? 〉 What are the three main categories of elements? 〉 All elements are either metals, nonmetals, or semiconductors.
6
The Periodic TableSection 2 How Are Elements Classified?, continued Elements in each category have similar properties. –metal: an element that is shiny and that conducts heat and electricity well –nonmetal: an element that conducts heat and electricity poorly –semiconductor (or metalloid): an element or compound that conducts electric current better than an insulator does but not as well as a conductor does
