2.  Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian scientist born in Tobolsk, Siberia in 1834, is known as the father of the periodic table of the elements.  The periodic table of the elements is an important tool used by students and chemists around the world to help them understand and simplify the often complex world of chemical reactions.

3.  Mendeleev set out to find a pattern in the elements.  He wrote facts on paper cards for each element.  Melting Point  Density  Colors  Atomic Masses

4.  After laying all of his cards out he noticed that by arranging them according to their properties they were arranged in order of increasing atomic mass.  Mendeleev was even able to use the patterns in his table to predict the properties of undiscovered elements.  The first periodic table was published in 1869.

5.  Arrangement of the known elements based on atomic number and chemical and physical properties  Divided into three basic categories:  Metals  Non-Metals  Metalloids

6. The periodic table is useful in predicting:  Chemical behavior of the elements  Trends  Properties of the elements

7.  Atoms are made of protons, electrons, and neutrons.  Elements are atoms of only one type.  Elements are identified by the atomic number (# of protons in the nucleus).

8.  Electrons are arranged in a region around the nucleus called an electron cloud. Energy levels are located within the cloud.  At least one energy level and as many as seven energy levels exist in atoms.

9.  Electrons in levels farther away from the nucleus have more energy.  Inner levels will fill first before outer levels.

10.  Energy levels hold a specific amount of electrons:  1 st level = up to 2  2 nd level = up to 8  3 rd level = up to 8 (first 18 elements only)

11.  The electrons in the outermost level are called valence electrons.  Determine reactivity - how elements will react with others to form compounds  The outermost level does not usually fill completely with electrons.

12.  Elements are grouped into vertical columns because they have similar properties.  These are called groups or families.  Groups are numbered 1–18.

13.  Group numbers can help you determine the number of valence electrons:  Group 1 has 1 valence electron.  Group 2 has 2 valence electrons.  Groups 3–12 are transition metals and commonly have 1 or 2 valence electrons, but may have more.

14.  Groups 13–18 have 10 fewer than the group number. For example:  Group 13 has 3 valence electrons.  Group 15 has 5 valence electrons.  Group 18 has 8 valence electrons.

15.  Reactivity is a chemical property that determines how elements will react with others to form compounds.

16.  What makes an element reactive? ● Number of valence electrons each atom has ● When outer levels are full, atoms are stable. ● When they are not full, they react: ● Gain, lose, or share electrons

17.  The most reactive metals are the elements in Groups 1 and 2.  Elements in Group 1 need seven more electrons to fill their outer level.  Elements in Group 2 need six more electrons to fill their outer level.  These groups are known as the “givers” because they easily give up their valence electrons to make a compound.

18.  The most reactive nonmetals are the elements in Groups 16 and 17.  Elements in Group 16 only need two more electrons to fill their outer level.  Elements in Group 17 only need one more electron to fill their outer level.  These groups are known as the “takers” because they easily receive valence electrons to make a compound.

19.  Groups run vertically in the periodic table.  They are numbered from 1–18.  Elements in the same groups have the same number of valence electrons in the outer energy level with the exception of some transition metals.  Grouped elements behave chemically in similar ways.

20.  The Periodic table is designed to help you predict what an element's physical and chemical properties are.  You can also predict what elements will bond with each other.

22. Vertically into Groups Horizontally Into Periods

25.  An example…

26. Be (Beryllium) Atom Mg (Magnesium) Atom

27.  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.

29. An example…

30. K (Potassium) Atom Fe (Iron) Atom Kr (Krypton) Atom 4 th Shell

31.  The periodic Table is divided into several groups based on the properties of different atoms.

32. Families/Groups on the Periodic Table Elements on the periodic table can be organized into families or groups based on their physical and chemical properties. Each family/group has a specific name to differentiate it from the other families/groups in the periodic table. Elements in each family/group react differently with other elements.
