Periodic Table

The document describes the key properties of metals, non-metals, and metalloids, noting that metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, can be shaped, and react with water, while non-metals are poor conductors and brittle, and metalloids have properties in between. It also provides brief descriptions of elements in the periodic table according to their families and periods.

Properties of Metals

 Metals are good conductors


of heat and electricity.
 Metals are shiny.
 Metals are ductile (can be
stretched into thin wires).
 Metals are malleable (can
be pounded into thin
sheets).
 A chemical property of
metal is its reaction with
water which results in
corrosion.
Properties of Non-Metals
 Non-metals are poor
conductors of heat and
electricity.
 Non-metals are not
ductile or malleable.
 Solid non-metals are
brittle and break
easily.
 They are dull.
 Many non-metals are
gases.
Sulfur
Properties of Metalloids
 Metalloids (metal-like)
have properties of both
metals and non-metals.
 They are solids that can
be shiny or dull.
 They conduct heat and
electricity better than non-
metals but not as well as
metals.
 They are ductile and
malleable.

Hydrogen
 The hydrogen square sits atop Family
AI, but it is not a member of that family.
Hydrogen is in a class of its own.
 It’s a gas at room temperature.
 It has one proton and one electron in its
one and only energy level.
 Hydrogen only needs 2 electrons to fill
up its valence shell.
Alkali Metals
 The alkali family is found in
the first column of the
periodic table.
 Atoms of the alkali metals
have a single electron in
their outermost level, in
other words, 1 valence
electron.
 They are shiny, have the
consistency of clay, and are
easily cut with a knife.
Alkali Metals
 They are the most
reactive metals.
 They react violently
with water.
 Alkali metals are
never found as free
elements in nature.
They are always
bonded with
another element.
What does it mean to be
reactive?
 We will be describing elements according to their
reactivity.
 Elements that are reactive bond easily with other
elements to make compounds.
 Some elements are only found in nature bonded with
other elements.
 What makes an element reactive?
 An incomplete valence electron level.
 All atoms (except hydrogen) want to have 8 electrons in their
very outermost energy level (This is called the rule of octet.)
 Atoms bond until this level is complete. Atoms with few
valence electrons lose them during bonding. Atoms with 6, 7,
or 8 valence electrons gain electrons during bonding.

Alkaline Earth Metals
 They are never found uncombined in nature.
 They have two valence electrons.
 Alkaline earth metals include magnesium
and calcium, among others.
Transition Metals
 Transition Elements
include those elements
in the B families.
 These are the metals
you are probably most
familiar: copper, tin,
zinc, iron, nickel, gold,
and silver.
 They are good
conductors of heat and
electricity.
Transition Metals

 The compounds of transition metals are usually


brightly colored and are often used to color paints.
 Transition elements have 1 or 2 valence electrons,
which they lose when they form bonds with other
atoms. Some transition elements can lose electrons
in their next-to-outermost level.
Transition Elements
 Transition elements have properties
similar to one another and to other
metals, but their properties do not fit in
with those of any other family.
 Many transition metals combine
chemically with oxygen to form
compounds called oxides.
Boron Family
 The Boron Family is
named after the first
element in the family.
 Atoms in this family have 3
valence electrons.
 This family includes a
metalloid (boron), and the
rest are metals.
 This family includes the
most abundant metal in the
earth’s crust (aluminum).
Carbon Family
 Atoms of this family have 4
valence electrons.
 This family includes a non-
metal (carbon), metalloids,
and metals.
 The element carbon is called
the “basis of life.” There is an
entire branch of chemistry
devoted to carbon compounds
called organic chemistry.
Nitrogen Family
 The nitrogen family is named
after the element that makes
up 78% of our atmosphere.
 This family includes non-
metals, metalloids, and metals.
 Atoms in the nitrogen family
have 5 valence electrons.
They tend to share electrons
when they bond.
 Other elements in this family
are phosphorus, arsenic,
antimony, and bismuth.
Oxygen Family
 Atoms of this family have 6
valence electrons.
 Most elements in this family
share electrons when
forming compounds.
 Oxygen is the most
abundant element in the
earth’s crust. It is extremely
active and combines with
almost all elements.
Halogen Family
 The elements in this family are
fluorine, chlorine, bromine,
iodine, and astatine.
 Halogens have 7 valence
electrons, which explains why
they are the most active non-
metals. They are never found
free in nature.
Halogen atoms only need
to gain 1 electron to fill their
outermost energy level.
They react with alkali
metals to form salts.
Noble Gases

 Noble Gases are colorless gases that are extremely un-reactive.


 One important property of the noble gases is their inactivity. They are
inactive because their outermost energy level is full.
 Because they do not readily combine with other elements to form
compounds, the noble gases are called inert.
 The family of noble gases includes helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon,
and radon.
 All the noble gases are found in small amounts in the earth's atmosphere.
Rare Earth Elements
 The thirty rare earth
elements are composed
of the lanthanide and
actinide series.
 One element of the
lanthanide series and
most of the elements in
the actinide series are
called trans-uranium,
which means synthetic or
man-made.
Mendeleev
 In 1869, Dmitri Ivanovitch
Mendeléev created the first accepted
version of the periodic table.
 He grouped elements according to
their atomic mass, and as he did, he
found that the families had similar
chemical properties. 
 Blank spaces were left open to add
the new elements he predicted
would occur. 
Matter
 All matter is composed of atoms and groups
of atoms bonded together, called molecules.
 Substances that are made from one type of
atom only are called pure substances.
 Substances that are made from more than one
type of atom bonded together are called
compounds.
 Compounds that are combined physically, but
not chemically, are called mixtures.

 Chlorine is an

 When sodium and
chlorine bond they
make the compound

table salt.
Table salt has different properties than
sodium, an explosive metal, and chlorine,
a poisonous gas.
Elements, Compounds,
Mixtures
 Hydrogen is an element.
 Oxygen is an element.
 When hydrogen and
oxygen bond they make
the compound water.
 When salt and water are
combined, a mixture is
created. Compounds in
mixtures retain their
individual properties.
The ocean is a
mixture.
Elements, compounds, and
mixtures
 Mixtures can be separated by physical
means.
 Compounds can only be separated by
chemical means.
 Elements are pure substances. When the
subatomic particles of an element are
separated from its atom, it no longer retains
the properties of that element.
