In the modern periodic table, the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. Interpreting Diagrams How many elements are there in the second period?

3. 6.1
The periodic law: When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, there is a periodic repetition of their physical and chemical properties.
The properties of the elements within a period change as you move across a period from left to right.
The pattern of properties within a period repeats as you move from one period to the next.

6.1
Metals
Metals are good conductors of heat and electric current.
80% of elements are metals.
Metals have a high luster, are ductile, and are malleable.

9. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
6.1
Nonmetals
In general, nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electric current.
Most nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
A few nonmetals are solids, such as sulfur and phosphorus.
One nonmetal, bromine, is a dark-red liquid.

Metalloids
A metalloid generally has properties that are similar to those of metals and nonmetals.

11. Squares in the Periodic Table
6.2
The periodic table displays the symbols and names of the elements, along with information about the structure of their atoms.
This is the element square for sodium from the periodic table. Interpreting Diagrams What does the data in the square tell you about the structure of sodium atoms?

12. Squares in the Periodic Table
6.2
The background colors in the squares are used to distinguish groups of elements.
The Group 1A elements are called alkali metals.
The Group 2A elements are called alkaline earth metals.
The nonmetals of Group 7A are called halogens.

13. Squares in the Periodic Table
6.2
In this periodic table, the colors of the boxes are used to classify representative elements and transition elements.

14. 6.2
Elements can be sorted into noble gases, representative elements, transition metals, or inner transition metals based on their electron configurations.

15. Electron Configurations in Groups
6.2
The Noble Gases
The noble gases are the elements in Group 8A of the periodic table. The electron configurations for the first four noble gases in Group 8A are listed below.

16. 6.2 The Representative Elements
Elements in groups 1A through 7A are often referred to as representative elements because they display a wide range of physical and chemical properties.
The s and p sublevels of the highest occupied energy level are not filled.

17. Electron Configurations in Groups
6.2
In atoms of the Group 1A elements below, there is only one electron in the highest occupied energy level.

18. Electron Configurations in Groups
6.2
In atoms of the Group 4A (or 14) elements below, there are four electrons in the highest occupied energy level.

19. 6.2 Transition Elements There are two types of transition elements—
--transition metals and
--inner transition metals.
They are classified based on their electron configurations.

20. 6.2
In atoms of a transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel contain electrons.
In atoms of an inner transition metal, the highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby f sublevel generally contain electrons.

21. 6.2 Blocks of Elements Transition Elements

If addition of an electron is exothermic,
then EA is negative.
