Coloring the Periodic Table Families

1. Coloring the Periodic Table Families 7th Grade AT Science Mrs. Steele Some images are from www.chem4kids.com www.middleschoolscience.com 2010 Mrs. LaRosa

2. Hey Guys! • This PowerPoint is extremely important and contains critical information that you NEED to learn and UNDERSTAND! • You will need to learn this on your own, with the help of the PowerPoint and chart that I made for you. This requires a quiet, and focused classroom setting. You will be held accountable for this learning with an assessment, so use your class time wisely and respect your peers’ needs!!!

3. Instructions- Read Carefully • Use the page in your packet titled, “Periodic Tables Families PPT Notes.” • Read page 111 in your textbook to get a sense of how the periodic table is organized. • Choose a color and color in the names of the families at the top of the chart. Columns/Groups/Families are synonyms. • Follow along the PowerPoint and complete the chart. • Find the families on your periodic table and color them with the matching colors in your chart (periodic table is still in your packet)

4. 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.

5. ALKALI METALS Group 1 • Hydrogen is not a member, it is a non-metal • All are metals and solid at room temp • 1 Valence Electron • Soft and silvery, shiny • Very reactive, esp. with water • Conduct electricity Image: http://www.learner.org/interactives/periodic/groups2.html

6. ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 • Metals • Solids at room temp • 2 electrons in the outer shell • White, silvery, and malleable • Reactive, but less than Alkali metals • Conduct electricity

7. TRANSITION METALS • Metals • Almost all are solids at room temp (Hg) • Good conductors of heat and electricity. • 1 or 2 Valence Electrons • Less Reactive than Alkali and Alkaline Earth • Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes.

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

9. CARBON FAMILY Group 4 • 4 electrons in the outer shell • Contains 3 metals, 2 metalloids, and 1 non-metal Carbon (C) • Reactivity varies • Solids at room temp

10. NITROGEN FAMILY Group 5 • 5 electrons in the outer shell • Can share electrons to form compounds • Contains 2 metals, 2 metalloids, and 2 non-metals • Reactivity Varies • Nitrogen is the only gas at room temp, rest are solids

11. OXYGEN FAMILY Group 6 • 6 electrons in the outer shell • Contains 2 metals, 1 metalloid, and 3 non-metals • Reactive • Oxygen is a gas, the rest are solids at room temp

12. Halogens Group 7 • 7 electrons in the outer shell • Non-metals, Uus is unknown • Very reactive - are often bonded with Group 1 Alkali Metals • Has 2 gases, 1 liquid (Br), and 2 solids

13. 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

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