1. The Periodic Table (Your new best friend!!)

2. The Periodic Table
The Periodic Table is a list of all the known elements.
It is organized by increasing atomic number.

3. Describe how to read the periodic table:
Every table has:

4. Describe how to read the periodic table:
Atomic Symbol:
One or two letters chosen to represent an element.
These symbols are used every where in the world
Usually, abbreviation of the element or the abbreviated Latin name of the element.

5. Describe how to read the periodic table:
Atomic Number The number of protons in an atom identifies the element. 

6. Describe how to read the periodic table:
Atomic Mass:
The average mass of an element
Measured in atomic mass units ("amu”)
Is an average of all the isotopes of an element.
Mass Number:
protons + neutrons = Mass Number
Is always a whole number.

7. Groups of the Periodic Table

8. Families on the Periodic Table
The table is arranged in vertical columns called “groups” or “families”
The horizontal rows are called “periods.”
Elements in each vertical column or group have similar properties

9. 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.

10. Groups Vertical columns on the PT Elements in the same group…
have the same number of electrons in their outer shell (Valence Electrons)
behave similarly
Examples:
Group 1 = 1 valence electron
Group 2 = 2 valence electrons
Group 13 = 3 valence electrons
Group 15 = 5 valence electrons

11. Alkali Metals Group 1, Metals 1 Valence Electron
Very reactive – they really want to bond
Elements in this group:
Lithium (Li) -Rubidium (Rb)
Sodium (Na) -Cesium (Cs)
Potassium (K) -Francium (Fr)

12. Alkaline Earth Metals Group 2, Metals Group 2, Metals
2 Valence Electrons
Less reactive than group 1,
but still want to bond
Elements
Beryllium (Be) -Strontium (Sr)
Magnesium (Mg)
Calcium (Ca) -Radium (Ra)
Group 2, Metals
2 Valence Electrons
Less reactive than group 1,
but still want to bond
Elements
Beryllium (Be) -Strontium (Sr)
Magnesium (Mg) -Barium (Ba)
Calcium (Ca) -Radium (Ra)

13. Halogens Group 17 Nonmetals 7 Valence Electrons
Very reactive – want to bond
Elements:
Fluorine (F) -Iodine (I)
Chlorine (Cl) -Astatine (At)
Bromine (Br)

14. Noble Gases Group 18 Nonmetals, gases Have full outer shells
Will NOT react
Elements:
Helium (He) - Krypton (Kr)
Neon (Ne) - Xenon (Xe)
Argon (Ar) - Radon (Rn)

15. Transition Metals
Contain most of the more common metals – gold (Au), silver (Ag), platinum (Pt)
Can hold more than 8 electrons in their shells (up to 32!)

20. Physical properties of METALS
Metals are SOLIDS at room temperature.
(except mercury)
Metals are HARD.
(except Lithium, Potassium, Sodium, Mercury)

21. Physical Properties of METALS
Metals are shiny. (Have “luster”)
LUSTER – the way an object’s surface reflects light

22. Best conductors: silver and copper
When you leave a spoon in a cup of hot drink, the bit poking out of the drink gets hot. Why? Conduction!
METALS are the best conductors of heat.
This is because the electrons in metals move more freely than in non-metals, allowing the heat energy to travel across the metal.
For example, when the spoon touches the hot drink, the heat from the drink excites the electrons in the metal, and the electrons transfer the energy from one electron to another, carrying the heat all the way up the spoon quickly.
Best conductors: silver and copper

23. Physical Properties of METALS
Metals are good conductors of electricity.
Copper, silver, and gold are good electrical conductors. In a conductor, electric current can flow freely. Since metals have free electrons, they can carry a charge easily.
Copper Wiring

24. Physical Properties of METALS
Metals are malleable (bendable).
Ex. Aluminum Foil

25. Physical Properties of METALS
Metals are ductile.
Ductility or ductile – can be drawn (pulled) into a wire

26. Examples of Metals
Potassium, K reacts with water and must be stored in kerosene or oil
Copper, Cu, is a relatively soft metal, and a very good electrical conductor.
Zinc, Zn, is more stable than potassium
Mercury, Hg, is the only metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature

27. NONMETALS To the right on the PT (except Hydrogen)
Non metals may be solids, liquids or gases.
Examples:
Solids – Carbon, Sulfur, Phosphorus
Liquid – Bromine
Gases – Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen

28. Physical Properties of NONMETALS
Nonmetals have a dull luster.
(They are not shiny!)
Example: Phosphorus

29. Physical Properties of NONMETALS
Nonmetals are insulators.
They do not conduct electricity or heat well.
The atoms in nonmetals do not have loose electrons. Therefore, when electricity, or something hot touches a non-metal, the energy does not move quickly through the material.
What would you rather stir a hot pot with—a wooden spoon or a metal spoon?

30. Physical Properties of NONMETALS
Nonmetals are soft and brittle (fragile).
Example: Sulfur

31. Examples of Nonmetals
Microspheres of phosphorus, P, a reactive nonmetal
Sulfur, S, was once known as “brimstone”
Graphite is not the only pure form of carbon, C. Diamond is also carbon; the color comes from impurities caught within the crystal structure

32. An interesting element: Carbon
Ever break the point of your pencil? That’s because it’s made of graphite, a substance made up completely of Carbon—a brittle nonmetal.
Carbon atoms in graphite
However diamonds, the hardest material of all, are made of the same element: Carbon. Look at how the carbon atoms are arranged in diamonds—why do you think diamonds are harder than graphite?
You may also want to discuss how we are using carbon to create new materials such as nanotubes, or discuss buckeyballs.

33. Metalloids are found along the stairstep.

34. METALLOIDS
Elements classified as Metalloids have physical properties of both metals and non-metals.
Some are shiny, some are dull, they are somewhat malleable and ductile, and can conduct heat and electricity at a lesser level than metals.
SILICON
ARSENIC
BORON

35. METALLOIDS
Some metalloids are useful semiconductors, which are used in electronics (radio, computer chips, telephones, etc.)
They are useful because they conduct just the right amount of electricity or heat.

36. Silicon, Si – A Metalloid
Silicon has metallic luster
Silicon is brittle like a nonmetal
Silicon is a semiconductor of electricity
Other metalloids include:
Boron, B
Germanium, Ge
Arsenic, As
Antimony, Sb
Tellurium, Te
