Elements are arranged: Vertically into Groups Horizontally Into Periods

Why?

If you looked at one atom of every element in a group you would see…

Each atom of a group has the same number of electrons in its outermost shell. An example…  Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level.  The number of “valence” electrons in an atom affects the way an atom bonds.  The way an atom bonds determines many properties of the element.  This is why elements within a group usually have similar properties.

The group 2 atoms all have 2 electrons in their outer shells Be (Beryllium) Atom Mg (Magnesium) Atom

If you looked at an atom from each element in a period you would see…

Each atom of the period has the same number of electron shells or energy levels. An example…

The period 4 atoms each have 4 electron containing shells K (Potassium) Atom Fe (Iron) Atom Kr (Krypton) Atom 4 th Shell

Each group has distinct properties The periodic Table is divided into several groups based on the properties of different atoms.

Alkali Metals Soft, silvery colored metals Very reactive!!! edu/webdata/U sers/DMcDowel l/GenChem/alka lishow.html

Group 1A: Alkali Metals Cutting sodium metal Reaction of potassium + H 2 O active

Alkali Metals reacting with water: Li (Lithium) – least reactiveLi (Lithium) Na (Sodium) K (Potassium) Rb (Rubidium) Cs (Cesium) – more reactiveCs (Cesium)– What would you expect from Francium?!?!

Magnesium Magnesium oxide Group 2A: Alkaline Earth Metals

Alkaline Earth Metals Silvery-White Metals Fairly reactive Many are found in rocks in the earth’s crust

Transition Metals Malleable (easily bent/hammered into wires or sheets) Most are good conductors of electricity

How many things can you think of that have Transition Metals in them?

Metalloids  Lie on either side of the “staircase” They share properties with both metals and non- metals Si (Silicon) and Ge (Germanium) are very important “semi- conductors”

What are semiconductors used in?

Nonmetals Brittle Do not conduct electricity

Nonmetals Most are poisonous Fairly reactive – react with alkali metals (eg) Na + and Cl - Halogens

Chlorine Gas was used as a chemical weapon during World War I. It was used by the Germans in World War II.

Chlorine Gas The Germans were the first to use Chlorine gas at Ypres in 1915 Chlorine gas is a lung irritant The symptoms of gas poisoning are bright red lips, and a blue face People affected die a slow death by suffocation Decades later men who thought they had survived the war died from lung diseases such as Emphysema

CHLORINE

Nonmetals Unreactive Gases at room temperature Noble Gases

Colors Noble Gases produce in lamp tubes: Ne (Neon): orange-red Ar (Argon): pale lavender He (Helium): pale peach Kr (Krypton): pale silver Xe (Xenon): pale, deep blue

Lanthanide Series Actinide Series The lanthanide series can be found naturally on Earth. Only one element in the series is radioactive. Also called rare-earth metals or inner-transition elements. You might find some of these elements in superconductors, glass production, or lasers The actinide series is much different. They are all radioactive Some are not found in nature. Some of the elements with higher atomic numbers have only been made in labs.

ELEMENTS THAT EXIST AS DIATOMIC MOLECULES Remember: The “GENS” These elements exist as PAIRS when ALONE. Hydrogen (H 2 ) Nitrogen (N 2 ) Oxygen (O 2 ) Halogens (F 2, Cl 2, Br 2, I 2 ) (P 4 and S 8 )
