Families on the Periodic Table
 Elements on the periodic table can be grouped into
families based 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.
ALKALI METALS
Group 1 Properties
Type of element: Metals
Valence Electrons: 1
Reactivity: Very reactive
Other Shared Properties: Soft;
silver colored; shiny; low
density
Examples: Soap, fertilizers,
medicine
ALKALINE EARTH METALS
Group 2 Properties
Type of element: Metals
Valence Electrons: 2
Reactivity: Very reactive, but
less reactive than alkali metals
Other Shared Properties: Silver
colored; more dense than
Alkali metals
Examples: Cement, plastics,
chalk
TRANSITION
METALS
Group Properties
Groups 3-12
Type of element: Metals
Valence Electrons: 1 or 2
Reactivity: Less reactive
than alkali-earth metals
Other Shared Properties:
Shiny; good conductors of
thermal energy and
electric current; Higher
densities and melting
points (except Mercury)
than elements in Group 1
or 2
Examples: Thermometers,
jewelry
BORON FAMILY
Group 13 Properties
Type of element: 1 Metalloid
& 4 metals
Valence Electrons: 3
Reactivity: Reactive
Other Shared Properties:
Solid at room temperature
Examples: Airplanes, siding,
cans
CARBON FAMILY
Group 14 Properties
Type of element: 1 non-metal, 2
metalloids, 3 metals
Valence Electrons: 4
Reactivity: Varies
Other Shared Properties: Solid
at room temperature
Examples: Diamonds,
tin cans
NITROGEN FAMILY
Group 15 Properties
Type of element: 2 non-metal, 2
metalloids, 1 metals
Valence Electrons: 5
Reactivity: Varies
Other Shared Properties: All
but Nitrogen are solid at room
temperature
Examples: Air, fertilizers
OXYGEN FAMILY
Group 16 Properties
Type of element: 3 non-metal, 1
metalloids, 2 metals
Valence Electrons: 6
Reactivity: Reactive
Other Shared Properties: All
but oxygen are solid at room
temperature
Examples: Rust, some acids
Halogens
Group 17 Properties
Type of element: Non-metals
Valence Electrons: 7
Reactivity: Very Reactive
Other Shared Properties: Poor
conductors of electric current;
react violently with alkali
metals to form salts, never
found uncombined in nature.
Examples: Toothpaste, Water
treatment, disinfectatants
Noble Gases
Group 18 Properties
Type of element: Non-metals
Valence Electrons: 8 ( 2 for
helium)
Reactivity: Unreactive
Other Shared Properties:
Colorless, odorless gases at
room temperature.
Examples: Found in signs and
balloons
Hydrogen Stands Apart
Hydrogen Properties
Type of element: Non-metals
Valence Electrons: 1
Reactivity: Reactive
Other Shared Properties:
Colorless, odorless gas at room
temperature; low density;
reacts explosively with oxygen
Examples: Makes water with
oxygen
Rare Earth Metals
 Some are
Radioactive
 The rare
earths are
silver, silverywhite, or gray
metals.
 Conduct
electricity
Indentify if the element is a metal, metalloid or non-metal.
