Directions

• Obtain a periodic table or download it
• Read through the PowerPoint and color as indicated

3
Period and Groups
When a column goes from top to bottom, it's
called a group. The elements in a group have the
same number of electrons in their outer orbital
(Valence).
When you look at a periodic table, each of the
rows is considered to be a different period
4
Reactivity
Alkali Metals and Halogens are very reactive
because they have either 1 or 7 valence electrons
5
Families on the Periodic Table

• Elements on the periodic table can be grouped
  into families bases on their chemical properties.
• Each family has a specific name to differentiate
  it from the other families in the periodic table.
• Elements in each family
• react differently with
• other elements.

6
ALKALI METALS

• Group 1
• Hydrogen is not a member, it is a non-metal
• Soft and silvery metals
• Very reactive, esp. with water
• Conduct electricity
• Color Light Blue

ALKALINE EARTH METALS

• Group 2
• White and malleable
• Reactive, but less than Alkali metals
• Conduct electricity
• Color Dark Green

8
TRANSITION METALS

• Groups 3- 12
• Good conductors of heat and electricity.
• Some are used for jewelry.
• Can bond with many elements in a variety of
  shapes.
• Color Dark Blue

9
BORON FAMILY

• Group 13
• Most are metals
• Boron is a metalloid
• Color Red

10
CARBON FAMILY

• Group 14
• Contains metals, metalloids, and a non-metal
  Carbon (C)
• Color Yellow

11
NITROGEN FAMILY

• Group 15
• Can share electrons to form compounds
• Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals
• Color Bright Green

12
OXYGEN FAMILY

• Group 16
• Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals
• Reactive
• Color ORANGE

13
Halogens

• Group 17
• 7 electrons in the outer shell
• All are non-metals
• Very reactive are often bonded with elements from
  Group 1
• Color Yellow

14
Noble Gases

• Group 18
• Exist as gases
• Non-metals
• Not reactive with other elements
• Color Grey

15
Rare Earth Metals

• Some are Radioactive
• The rare earths are silver, silvery-white, or
  gray metals.
• Conduct electricity
• Color Violet
