1 The Periodic Table of Elements

2 What is it? Arrangement of known elements based on atomic # (the number at the top), chemical and physical properties

3 Dmitri Mendeleev In the 1860’s he devised a periodic table where the elements were ordered by their atomic masses He did this by grouping elements together according to their similarities Draft of Mendeleev's Periodic Table Image taken from:

4 Elements! A pure substance made up of one kind of atom that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by physical or chemical means 90 occur naturally on earth 25 were synthesized (made) by scientists Element song Tom Leher

5 How is it organized? Metals, nonmetals, metalloids, atomic #, atomic structure, chemical and physical properties

6 3 Classes of Elements Class Color Metal Non-Metal Metalloid

7 What metal is not a solid
Metals 79 Au Location Found on the left of the zigzag line/staircase on the periodic table (exception  Hydrogen) Chemical Properties Have few electrons in their outer energy level, thus lose electrons easily Physical Properties ductile, good conductors, malleable, shiny, most are room temperature 11 Na 22.990 Image taken from: What metal is not a solid @ room temperature?

8 Non-Metals Location Most found to the right of the zigzag line/staircase on the periodic table Chemical Properties Most have almost full outer energy levels, thus they tend to gain electrons; some have completely full outer level Physical Properties not ductile or malleable, not shiny, poor conductors, most are solid, but some are gas at room temperature 17 Cl 35.453 Image taken from: 16 S 32.066 Image taken from:

9 Metalloids Location Border the zigzag line/staircase on the periodic table Chemical Properties Most atoms have ½ (≈) complete set of electrons in outer level Physical Properties have properties of both metals and non-metals 14 Si 28.086 Image taken from: 5 B 10.811 Image taken from:

10 Organization Group 1- Alkali Metals, Group 2- Alkaline Earth Metals, Groups Transition Metals, Below Table- Rare Earth Metals (Lanthanides, Actinides) Group 18- Noble Gases-NOT REACTIVE ELEMENTS Group 13- Boron Group, Group 14-Carbon Group, Group 15-Nitrogen Group, Group 16- Oxygen Group, Group 17-Halogens Group 18-Noble Gases-unreactive-outside energy level is completely full What are the names and numbers of the groups that are metals? What are the names and numbers of the groups that are nonmetals? What are the names and numbers of the groups that contain metalloids as well as metals and nonmetals? What is the name and number of the group that contains gases only?

11 What does it predict? Chemical behavior of the elements, trends, properties of elements

12 How many groups (families)
Important Features of the Periodic Table: Group (Family) each column of elements on the periodic table How many groups (families) are on the Periodic Table Of Elements? FROM TOP TO BOTTOM OR BOTTOM TO THE TOP

13 Group (Family) Properties
Eighteen groups on the periodic table (numbered from left to right) Atomic numbers and atomic masses increase as you move from the top down in a group (family) Atoms of elements in the same group have the same number of electrons in the outer rings orbitals/levels of their atoms (known as valence electrons) Exceptions: Transition elements (3-12) Hydrogen (could be 1 or 17) Helium (actually has 2 valence electrons) Elements in groups usually have similar physical and chemical properties

14 groups Which direction do they go? Vertically (up and down)
How are they numbered? What is their pattern? Vertically (up and down) 1-18 Elements in same group have same # of valence electrons, share similar chemical properties; grouped elements behave chemically in similar ways

15 Examples of Group Elements with the same # of valence electrons
                           How many electrons do each of these atoms have in their outer orbital/level? 87 Fr (223) 55 Cs 37 Rb 85.468 19 K 39.098 11 Na 22.990 3 Li 6.941 1 H 1.008 + - What group (family) do these elements reside in?

16 What the heck are Valence electrons?
What are they? Where are they? What do they do? Electrons in the outermost energy level Outside energy level Determine reactivity

18 Examples of Group Elements with the same # of valence electrons
                           How many electrons do each of these atoms have in their outer orbital/level? 87 Fr (223) 55 Cs 37 Rb 85.468 19 K 39.098 11 Na 22.990 3 Li 6.941 1 H 1.008 + - What group (family) do these elements reside in?

19 Important Features of the Periodic Table: Period (Row)
each horizontal row of elements on the periodic table How many periods (rows) are on the Periodic Table Of Elements? FROM LEFT TO RIGHT OR RIGHT TO LEFT

20 Period (Row) Properties
Seven periods on a periodic table (numbered from the top down) Atomic numbers and atomic masses increase as you move from the left to the right in a period All atoms of the elements in the same period have the same number of rings/orbitals/energy levels All atoms of the elements in a specific period have that respective number of rings/orbitals/energy levels Example Period 1 = 1 ring Period 2 = 2 rings Period 3 = 3 rings Etc…

21 periods Horizontally (side to side) Which direction do they go? 1-7
How are they numbered? What is their pattern? Horizontally (side to side) 1-7 Elements in the same period have the same # of energy levels (2-8-8 rule)

22 Examples of Period (Row) elements having the same number of rings/orbitals/energy levels in their atoms + - + - In what period (row) do you think these atoms reside? + - + - In what period (row) do you think these atoms reside?

23 Reactivity What is it? What makes an element reactive? What are the most reactive groups of metals? What are the most reactive groups of nonmetals? How elements react with others to form compounds # of valence electrons, when outer levels are full, atoms are stable, when they are not full, they react (gain, lose, or share electrons) Groups 1 and 2-they easily give up their valence electron to make a compound Groups 16 and 17- they easily receive valence electrons to make a compoud

24 reactivity
