periodic table
• group 3 to 12 constitute one block where in elements in this block are reffered
as transition elements
• The lanthanide and actinide are special series of elements but are also part
of the transition lock; they’re also called as inner transition elements
• Elements from taller columns (group 1, 2 and 13 to 18) are called the
representative elements or main group of the periodic table
the elements are grouped into blocks or series on the
periodic table

The families of the periodic table
ALKALI METALS
Alkali metals are soft, shiny metals with low melting point and they are the
most reactive among the metals.
• lithium
• sodium
• potassium
• rubidium
• cesium
The alkali metals have low melting points, ranging from a high of 179 °C
(354 °F) for lithium to a low of 28.5 °C (83.3 °F) for cesium. Alloys of alkali
metals exist that melt as low as −78 °C (−109 °F).
ALKALINE EARTH METALS
Alkaline metals are the shiny, silver, white color and highly reaction. The
atoms of alkiline earth metals easily lose electrons to become positive ions
(cations) They’re also highly metallic and good conductors of elericity
