1. 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.

2. ALKALI METALS Group 1 Hydrogen is not a member, it is a non-metal
All are metals and solid at room temp
Soft and silvery, shiny
Very reactive, esp. with water
Conduct electricity
Image:

3. ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 Metals Solids at room temp
White, silvery
Reactive, but less than Alkali metals
Conduct electricity

4. TRANSITION METALS Metals Almost all are solids at room temp (Hg)
Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes.

5. BORON FAMILY Group 3 3 electrons in the outer shell Most are metals
Boron is a metalloid
Reactive
Solid at room temp

6. CARBON FAMILY
Group 4
Carbon (C)
Reactivity varies
Solids at room temp

7. NITROGEN FAMILY Group 5 5 electrons in the outer shell
Can share electrons to form compounds
Nitrogen is the only gas at room temp, rest are solids

8. OXYGEN FAMILY Group 6 6 electrons in the outer shell Reactive
Oxygen is a gas, the rest are solids at room temp

9. Halogens
Group 7
7 electrons in the outer shell

10. Noble Gases Group 8 Exist as gases Non-metals
8 electrons in the outer shell = Full
Helium (He) has only 2 electrons in the outer shell = Full
Not reactive with other elements

11. Rare Earth Metals Some are Radioactive
The rare earths are silver, silvery-white, or gray metals.
Conduct electricity

12. Periods Each row is called a “period”
The elements in each period have the same number of shells
1st Period = 1 Shell
2nd Period = 2 Shells
3rd Period = 3 Shells
4th Period = 4 Shells

13. Groups Group 8 = 8 electrons Group 1 = 1 electron
Except for He, it has 2 electrons
Group 2 = 2 electrons
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Each column is called a “group”
Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells”.
The electrons in the outer shell are called “valence electrons”

14. Metals - are on the left side Nonmetals – are on the right side

Where are the metals, nonmetals, and metalloids located in the periodic table?

17. Elements having properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Metalloid
Elements having properties of both metals and nonmetals.

18. Complete Periodic Table of Elements Warm-up worksheet
Germanium, with an atomic number of 32, is not a metal or a non-metal, but a metalloid. – Describe where metalloids are found on the periodic table, with respect to the metals and non-metals.

19. Complete Periodic Table of Elements Warm-up worksheet
Metalloids are found in between metals and non-metals on the periodic table. Their position tells us that they have some of the characteristics of metals and some characteristics of non-metals. For example, germanium conducts electricity, but not as well as true metals.

20. Elements are organized in the periodic table in such a way that there are patterns of elements placed close together that have similar properties. For example, knowing the properties of one element in a column of the periodic table will help a person predict the properties of other elements in that same column.
–Describe two properties common to elements found at the far left of the periodic table. –Describe two properties common to elements found at the far right of the periodic table.

21. Complete Periodic Table of Elements Warm-up worksheet
On the far left side of the periodic table the elements are all metals. So, they are solids at room temperature and are good conductors of heat and electricity. One the far right side of the periodic table, the elements are gases at room temperature. They are colorless and non-reactive.
