Periodic Table Notes 1/14/14
Red stair step line separates metals from nonmetals • Groups/families – vertical ↕ • Have similar physical and chemical properties • Periods – horizontal ↔ • Periods do not have similar properties Periodic Table Organization
Alkali metals – group 1A • 1 electron in outermost shell • Reacts violently with water • Alkaline Earth metals – group 2A • Produces bases in water • Transition Metals – Groups 1B to 8B • Inner transition metals – also called Rare Earth Elements Periodic Table Organization
Halogens – Group 7A • 7 electrons in outermost shell • Very reactive nonmetals • Noble Gases – Group 8A • 8 electrons in outermost shell • Very stable, does not form compounds Periodic Table Organization
Conduct heat • Conduct electricity • Ductile • Malleable • Can be hard or soft • 3 or less valence electrons • Left side of red line Sodium Metals
Has properties of both metals and non metals • Touch the red line Boron Metalloids
Does not conduct heat well • Does not conduct electricity well • Solids are brittle • Most are gases at room temperature • 5 or more valence electrons • Right side of red line Nonmetals Nitrogen
