Elements and the Periodic Table COLLEGE PREP EXPLORING SCIENCE
The Modern Periodic Table - Journal • What happens to properties when you move from left to right across the table? • What type of elements are in yellow? In green? In blue? • What is an important fact about the Actinide series?
The Modern Periodic Table PROPERTIES ARE GROUPED BY COLUMNS Example - Group (Family 1) – Alkali Metals What is similar?
The Modern Periodic Table HOW CAN WE CLASSIFY ELEMENTS? • State: solid, liquid, gas • Natural & manmade: (91 of the first 92 are natural) • METALS, NONMETALS & METALLOIDS
PROPERTIES METALS • Mostly solid, • Good conductors of electricity and heat METALLOIDS • All solids • Properties between metals and nonmetals • Known as ‘semi-conductors” NONMETALS • Solids, liquids and gases • Good insulators
The Modern Periodic Table Classified by Properties What happens to properties when you move from left to right across the table? ELEMENTS BECOME LESS METALLIC AND MORE NON-METALLIC
Representative Groups Elements in a group have SIMILAR(not identical) PROPERTIES because they have the same number of valence electrons
Representative Groups ALKALI METALS (group 1): • Single valence electron • EXTREMELY REACTIVE • Reactivity increases from top to bottom It is not a metal, but Hydrogen is grouped here. Why?
Representative Groups ALKALINE EARTH METALS (group 2): • TWO valence electrons • Less reactive than group 1
Representative Groups BORON FAMILY (group 3A): • THREE valence electrons • FYI- Aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust
Representative Groups CARBON FAMILY (group 4A): • FOUR valence electrons • FYI- Except for water, most compounds in your body contain Carbon.
Representative Groups NITROGEN FAMILY (group 5A): • FIVE valence electrons • FYI- Nitrogen and Phosphorous are used to make fertilizers.
Representative Groups OXYGEN FAMILY (group 6A): • SIX valence electrons • FYI- Oxygen is the most abundant nonmetal in Earth’s crust, and Ozone is another form of oxygen.
Representative Groups THE HALOGENS (group 7A): • SEVEN valence electrons • EXTREMELY REACTIVE • Reactivity increases from bottom to top • FYI- Halogen means “salt former”.
Representative Groups THE NOBLE GASES (group 8A): • EIGHT valence electrons • INERT (don’t react easily) • FYI- make “neon” lights when a current is passed thru them.
Journal • Color in the Periodic Table given to you and color it in according to the following LIST. Use a different color for each of the items below. • Metals • Alkali Metals • Alkaline Earth Metals • Transition Metals • Metalloids • Nonmetals • Halogens • Noble Gases
