5.3 Representative Groups
Key Concepts Why do the elements in a group have similar properties? What are some properties of the A groups in the periodic table?
2
Why is hydrogen located on the left side of the periodic table, even though it is a gas? Hydrogen’s location is related to its ________________ configuration and not its properties. electron
3
Hydrogen is located in group 1 because it has one _______________ electron…it can be used as a fuel in automobiles because it is _________________. valence flammable A valence electron is an electron that is in the __________ or ______________ occupied energy level of an atom. highest outermost

The periodic table has ______ total groups that can be separated into group _____ elements and group ______ elements 18 A B
5
The periodic table was actually designed to tell you how many valence electrons any of the Group ____ elements have…also called ___________________ groups A representative
6
The columns in the middle of the periodic table are called Group ____ and often have a variety of ______________, so they don’t follow the valence electron rules B configurations
