Periods • Each row is called a “period” • The elements in each period have the same number of shells or • electron energy levels 1st Period = 1 Shell 2nd Period = 2 Shells 3rd Period = 3 Shells 4th Period = 4 Shells www.chem4kids.com
Groups Group 8 = 8 electrons Group 1 = 1 electron Except for He, it has 2 electrons Group 2 = 2 electrons • Each column is called a “group” 3,4,5,6,7 • Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells” or energy levels • The electrons in the outer shell or energy level are called “valence electrons” www.chem4kids.com
Transition Metals • Transition Metals have slightly different rules for shells and valence electrons. • This is something you will learn about in High School Chemistry. www.chem4kids.com
Determine the number of shells and the number of valence electrons for: Carbon - C 2nd Period = 2 energy levels 4th Group = 4 valence electrons www.chem4kids.com
Determine the number of energy levels and the number of valence electrons for: Sodium - Na 3rd Period = 3 energy levels 1st Group = 1 valence electron www.chem4kids.com

Write your answers in your notes. H Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ? Hydrogen 1st Period = 1 energy level 1st Group = 1 valence electron
Write your answers in your notes! Be Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ?
Write your answers in your notes! Be Name the element. Number of energy levels? Valence electrons ? Beryllium 2nd Period = 2 energy levels 2nd Group = 2 valence electrons
Write your answers in your notes. S Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ?
Write your answers in your notes! S Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ? Sulfur 3rd Period = 3 energy levels 6th Group = 6 valence electrons
Write your answers in your notes. K Name the element. Number of energy levels? Valence electrons ?
Write your answers in your notes. K Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ? Potassium 4th Period = 4 energy levels 1st Group = 1 valence electron
Write your answers in your notes. He Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ?
Write your answers in your notes. He Name the element. Number of energy levels ? Valence electrons ? Helium 1st Period = 1 energy level 8th Group = 2 valence electrons • Helium is the exception in Group 8. • Since it has just one energy level, that shell can only fit 2 electrons instead of 8. • It is in this group because all the elements have a full outer energy level.
