Coloring the Periodic Table Families

Directions Use the periodic table in your journal. Read through the PowerPoint and color as indicated

Period and Groups When you look at a periodic table, each of the rows is considered to be a different period When a column goes from top to bottom, it's called a group. The elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell. We call them valence electrons.

Families on the Periodic Table Elements on the periodic table can be grouped into families bases on their chemical properties. Each family has a specific name to differentiate it from the other families in the periodic table. Elements in each family react differently with other elements.

Color these light blue and label ALKALI METALS Group 1 Hydrogen is not a member, it is a non-metal These have only 1 electron in the outer shell Soft and silvery metals Very reactive, esp. with water Good conductors of electricity Color these light blue and label “Alkali Metals” Image: http://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/groups2.html

and label “Alkaline Earth Metals” Group 2 These have 2 electrons in the outer shell White and malleable They are reactive, but less than Alkali metals Conduct electricity Color these dark green, and label “Alkaline Earth Metals”

TRANSITION METALS Color Dark Blue and label “transition metals” Groups 3- 12 Good conductors of heat and electricity. Some are used for jewelry. The transition metals are able to put up to 32 electrons in their second to last shell. Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes. Color Dark Blue and label “transition metals”

METALS Metals include Color bright green and label “Metals” Aluminum (Al) Gallium (Ga) Indium(In) Tin (Sn) Thallium (Tl) Lead (Pb) Bismuth (Bi) Color bright green and label “Metals”

Color these red, and label “Metalloids” These elements are: Boron (B) Silicon (Si) Germanium (Ge) Arsenic (As) Antimony (Sb) Tellurium (Te) Polonium (Po) Color these red, and label “Metalloids”

NON-METALS Non-metals include Color Yellow and label “Non-Metals” Carbon (C) Nitrogen (N) Oxygen (O) Phosphorus (P) Sulfur (S) Selenium (Se) Hydrogen (H) Color Yellow and label “Non-Metals”

Color Purple and label “Halogens” Group 17 7 electrons in the outer shell All are non-metals Very reactive are often bonded with elements from Group 1 Color Purple and label “Halogens”

Color a color you have not used and label Noble Gases Group 18 Exist as gases Non-metals 8 electrons in the outer shell = Full Helium (He) has only 2 electrons in the outer shell = Full Not reactive with other elements Color a color you have not used and label “Noble Gases”

Check your work! Check to make sure the pattern on your periodic table looks like this. The colors DO NOT match, so don’t worry about the colors 

Now, you will watch a BrainPOP video about the periodic table. TAKE NOTES! There will be a quiz at the end that you will turn in. Click this link: http://www.brainpop.com/science/matterandchemistry/perio dictableofelements/zoom.weml The username and password are written on the board

What characteristics do alkali metals and alkaline earth metals have in common? (the same)? They are good conductors of electricity They are shiny and strong When you mix them with water, they form alkaline solutions. Question 1

Carbon has an atomic number of 6. What else does this tell you? It has 6 neutrons It has 6 protons It weighs 6 grams Question 2

Question 3 What do the red and blue circles in the nucleus represent? Positrons and neutrons Protons and neutrons Protons and electrons Question 3

Question 4 What information does the period an element is in tell us? All the elements in that period have the same number of protons All the elements in that period have the same number of energy levels (electron shells) All the elements in that period have the same number of electrons Question 4

True or False. Periods are the horizontal rows True or False? Periods are the horizontal rows. Groups are the vertical columns. Question 5

Question 6 Molecules are made out of atoms. So, we know that: Molecules must have at least one proton It has 6 protons It weighs 6 grams Question 6

Finished? Turn your paper in to the box at the front table. Then, take out your periodic table from yesterday and some colors. Finished?

When you finish.. Take notes on the next clean page in your journal about this information:
