  1. The Periodic Table of Elements Study Guide Use your space bar to advance each section or page As you go through this study guide, please have the periodic table that you were given. You will be filling it in as you go.

  2. Next Year… • You will need to know how to use the periodic table. You will also need to know how elements combine. Knowing how to use the table is essential.

  3. An atom refresher • Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. • All matter is made of atoms • Atoms are the building blocks of matter, sort of how bricks are the building blocks of houses. • Elements are the alphabet to the language of molecules. • To make molecules, you must have elements. • Elements are made of atoms. While the atoms may have different weights and organization, they are all built in the same way.

  4. Electrons have special rules…. You can’t just shove all of the electrons into the first orbit of an electron. Electrons occupy something called shells or energy levels. Only so many can be in any certain shell. The number of shells an atom has relates to the period it is located in. The group that an atom is in is related to how many electrons it has in its outer (valence) shell. So let’s explore periods and groups in the next few slides.

  5. Periodic Table This table is a remarkable way to show the manifold relationships between differing kinds of elements The modern table was devised in 1869 by Dimitri Mendeleyev He arranged the elements by weight and by their chemical properties

  6. Periodic Table "...if all the elements be arranged in order of their atomic weights a periodic repetition of properties is obtained." - Mendeleyev The next slide shows a few of the elements from the table.

  7. Periods and Groups Horizontal rows in the periodic table are called periods Vertical columns are called groups We will learn later why the elements can be arranged in this fashion based on the arrangements of the electrons outside the nucleus Please note: Some Table of Elements show 18 groups, others show only 8 groups (the transition elements aren’t always considered to be in groups – you will see both ways in this study guide)

  8. This shows 18 groups

  9. This one shows 8 groups

  10. Periods and Groups Sizes of the atoms decrease as we move from left to right across a period (see the next slide) This is due to the increasing number of protons in the nucleus, so the electrical attraction between the nucleus and the orbiting electrons gets stronger and pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus

  11. Periods and Groups We can display the table to demonstrate other properties as well As you move from left to right across a period, the ability of the atom to attract another electron increases(See next slide) This property is called electronegativity

  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 Please make a note on your chart to help you remember that whatever period an element is in, that is how many shells it would have.

  13. Groups Group 18 or 8 = Filled shells Group 1 = 1 electron Except for He, it has 2 electrons Group 2 = 2 electrons Group 13 or 3= 3 electrons • 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. Transition Metals • Transition Metals have slightly different rules for shells and valence electrons. • This is something you will learn about in High School Chemistry.

  15. Determine the number of shells and the number of valence electrons for: Carbon - C 2nd Period = 2 shells 4th Group = 4 valence electrons

  16. Determine the number of shells and the number of valence electrons for: Sodium - Na 3rd Period = 3 shells 1st Group = 1 valence electron

  17. Write your answers on your handout. Ne Name the element. Number of shells ? Valence electrons ? Neon 2nd Period = 2 shells 8th Group = 8 valence electrons

  18. Write your answers on your handout. H Name the element. Number of shells ? Valence electrons ? Hydrogen 1st Period = 1 shell 1st Group = 1 valence electron

  19. Write your answers on your handout. Be Name the element. Number of shells ? Valence electrons ? Beryllium 2nd Period = 2 shells 2nd Group = 2 valence electrons

  20. Write your answers on your handout. S Name the element. Number of shells ? Valence electrons ? Sulfur 3rd Period = 3 shells 6th Group = 6 valence electrons

  21. Write your answers on your handout. K Name the element. Number of shells ? Valence electrons ? Potassium 4th Period = 4 shells 1st Group = 1 valence electron

  22. Write your answers on your handout. He Name the element. Number of shells ? Valence electrons ? Helium 1st Period = 1 shell 8th Group = 2 valence electrons • Helium is the exception in Group 8. • Since it has just one shell, that shell can only fit 2 electrons instead of 8. • It is in this group because all the elements have a full outer shell.

  23. - + + + - - Review Protons = 3 3 Li Lithium 7 Electrons = 3 2 in the 1st shell, 1 in the 2nd shell Neutrons = 4 (7-3=4)

  24. Be sure to have all your answers on your study guide worksheet. Remember, if you don’t understand a section, you can always go back and redo it.

  25. Groups and Families All the elements in a column have remarkably similar chemical properties Some of the columns have been given special names to distinguish them (We call them families) As you go through the families, very lightly color each family a different color. If you don’t have colored pencils with you, make a note to do it later when you do have them. (please…as you color the families, make sure it is very light and not so dark that you can’t see the numbers and symbol)

  26. Alkalie Family • The first group (Group 1) is called the alkali metalsor Alkalai Family. They are the most chemically reactive of all the metals. • This group does not include Hydrogen, however. Hydrogen is in its own group. • Each element in this family has one valence electron. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a +1 charge because of their tendency to give away one electron. Please label the first group on your periodic table.

  27. Alkaline-Earth Family • The second group is the alkaline-earth metals. They are also very chemically reactive, but not as much as the group in the Alkali family. • Each element in this family has two valence electrons. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a +2 charge because of their tendency to give away two electrons. Please label the second group on your periodic table.

  28. Transition Metals The transition metals and aren’t considered a family and aren’t named. (remember some charts will call these Groups 3-12) Members of this group generally have 1, 2 or 3 valence electrons. Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a +1 or +2 or +3 charge because of their tendency to give away one, two, or three electrons. Make a small note on your table to help you remember they are called the transition metals.

  29. Boron Family • Group 3 is the Boron Family. (13 on some charts) • Each element in this family usually has three valence electrons. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a +3 charge because of their tendency to give away three electrons. Please label the this group on your periodic table.

  30. Carbon Family • Group 4 is the Carbon Family. (14 on some charts) • Carbon is the backbone of all living things, Silicon is the backbone of computerized things. • Each element in this family usually has four valence electrons. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a -4 charge because of their tendency to attract four electrons. Please label the this group on your periodic table.

  31. Nitrogen Family • Group 5 is the Nitrogen Family. (15 on some charts) • Each element in this family usually has five valence electrons. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a -3 charge because of their tendency to attract three electrons. Please label the this group on your periodic table.

  32. Oxygen Family • Group 6 is the Oxygen Family (16 on some charts) • Each element in this family usually has six valence electrons. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a -2 charge because of their tendency to attract two electrons. Please label the this group on your periodic table.

  33. Halogen Family • Group 7 are the halogens (Salt Formers) Elements in this group are the most reactive of the non-metals. (17 on some charts) • Each element in this family usually have seven valence electron. • Generally, if members of this family form an ion, they would have a -1 charge because of their tendency to attract one electron. • Elements in this family have a tendency to chemically react strongly with metals. The product of that chemical reaction is a salt. Please label the this group on your periodic table.

  34. Noble Gas Family • Group 8 (18 on some charts)are the noble gases and are basically inert (inert means unable to chemically react with other elements) • Elements in this family all have filled valence shells. Helium has just two electrons, and they fill its outer shell. The rest of the noble gases have 8 electrons in their outermost shells. (see the next slide) • These elements rarely or never form ions or join into chemical reactions. Please label the this group on your periodic table.

  35. Octet Rule The Octet Rule states that atoms cannot have more than 8 electrons in their outermost shell. So that means that starting with the fourth shell, the atom flips any extra electrons to the previous shell. For example, Krypton is in the fourth shell: - 2 electrons fill the first shell - 8 electrons fill the second shell - 18 electrons fill the third shell (10 were flipped from the fourth shell) - 8 electrons in the fourth shell

  37. The Rare Earth Elements (or Inner transition metals) are in periods 6 and 7, and are pulled out to make the Table more compact. Please label the Rare Earth Elements

  38. Thought QuestionsThink carefully about your answers Why are there only two elements in the first period? Why are there eight elements in the second and third periods? Why do we jump to eighteen in the fourth period? Why are the chemical properties of a group so similar?
