2. Discovering a Pattern
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic mass.
His Periodic table showed that
Elements with similar properties occurred in a repeating pattern
There were gaps in its pattern
He could predict the properties of the missing elements
By 1886, all of the gaps had been filled and Mendeleev’s predictions were right.

3. Changing the Arrangement
A few elements’ properties did not fit in the pattern of Mendeleev’s table.
1914: British scientist Henry Moseley found the atomic number of atoms.
Elements arranged by atomic number fit the pattern in Mendeleev’s table.

4. Elements are arranged:
Vertically into Groups
Horizontally Into Periods

5. Why?

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

7. Each atom has the same number of electrons in it’s outermost shell.
An example…

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

9. The number of outer or “valence” electrons in an atom effects 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.

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

11. Each atom has the same number of electron holding shells.
An example…

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

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

14. The Periodic Table and Classes of Elements
Elements are classified as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids based on number of electrons in outer shell
an outer shell is considered complete when it contains 8 electrons
The zigzag line on the periodic table can help you recognize which elements belong in which category.

15. Group 1: Alkali Metals Alkali metals properties: metals
1 electron in the outer level
very reactive
softness, color of silver, shininess, low density

16. Soft, silvery colored metals
Alkali Metals
Soft, silvery colored metals
Very reactive!!!

17. Metals found to the left of the zigzag line
have few electrons in their outer energy level.
shiny, ductile, malleable, and are good conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

18. Alkali Metals reacting with water:
Li (Lithium)
Na (Sodium)
K (Potassium)
Rb (Rubidium)
Cs (Cesium)
What would you expect from Francium?!?!

19. Group 2: Alkaline-Earth Metals
Alkaline-earth metals properties:
metals
2 electrons in the outer level
very reactive, but less reactive than alkali metals
color of silver, higher densities than alkali metals

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

21. Group 3–12: Transition Metals
Properties of Transition Metals vary widely but include:
metals
1 or 2 electrons in the outer level
less reactive than alkaline-earth metals
shininess, good conductors of electric current and thermal energy

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

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

25. Metalloids lie on either side of these “stairsteps”
They share properties with both metals and non-metals
Si (Silicon) and Ge (Germanium) are very important “semi-conductors”

26. Metalloids border the zigzag line
have about half of a complete set of electrons in their outer energy level.
Metalloids have some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals.
Metalloids are also called semiconductors.

27. What are semiconductors used in?

28. Nonmetals
Brittle
Do not conduct electricity

29. Nonmetals to the right of the zigzag line
have an almost complete set of electrons in their outer energy level.
not shiny, ductile, or malleable, and poor conductors of electric current and thermal energy.

30. Group 13: Boron Group Group 13 properties:
one metalloid and five metals
3 electrons in the outer level
reactive
solids at room temperature

31. Group 14: Carbon Group Group 14 properties:
one nonmetal, two metalloids, and two metals
4 electrons in the outer level
reactivity varies among the elements
solids at room temperature

32. Group 15: Nitrogen Group Group 15 properties:
two nonmetals, two metalloids, and two metals
5 electrons in the outer level
reactivity varies among the elements
solids at room temperature (except for nitrogen, which is a gas)

33. Chapter 12 Group 16: Oxygen Group Group 16 properties:
Section 2 Grouping the Elements
Group 16: Oxygen Group
Group 16 properties:
group contains three nonmetals, one metalloids, and one metal
6 electrons in the outer level

34. Chapter 12
Section 2 Grouping the Elements
Hydrogen
The properties of hydrogen do not match the properties of any single group, so hydrogen is set apart.
a nonmetal
1 electron in the outer level
reactive
colorless, odorless gas at room temperature, low density

35. Halogens
Most are Poisonous
Fairly reactive

36. Chapter 12 Group 17: Halogens
Section 2 Grouping the Elements
Group 17: Halogens
Halogens are the elements in Group 17. Group 17 properties:
group contains nonmetals
7 electrons in the outer level
very reactive
poor conductors of electric current, never in uncombined form in nature

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

38. Chapter 12 Group 18: Noble Gases
Section 2 Grouping the Elements
Group 18: Noble Gases
Noble gases are the elements in Group 18. Group 18 properties:
group contains nonmetals
8 electrons in the outer level (except helium, which has 2)
unreactive
colorless, odorless gases at room temperature

39. Noble Gases
Unreactive

42. Group 3–12: Transition Metals, continued
Lanthanides and Actinides Some transition metals from Periods 6 and 7 appear in two rows at the bottom of the periodic table. Elements in the first row are called lanthanides and elements in the second row are called actinides.
