Warm Up 9/24
1. Please get a blank periodic table from the
front lab table and 3 different color
crayons.
Origin of the Periodic Table
 Mendeleev
proposed the first arrangement
of the periodic table.
 Arranged
 Found
by atomic mass
that as he arranged the elements,
similar properties repeated themselves.
Mendeleev’s Periodic Table
Origin of the Periodic Table
 There
were “gaps” in his table, which led
other scientists to discover new elements.
 Moseley
devised the current periodic table
which is based on ATOMIC NUMBER
The Current Periodic Table
 Periodic
means “repeating” pattern.
 The
periodic table groups similar elements
together (think about sections in the
grocery store).
 Grouping
makes it easier to predict the
properties of an element.
Periods
 Periods:
horizontal rows of elements (7)
 Just
as the number of protons changes as
you move from left to right across the
periodic table, so does the number of
electrons.

Remember that sentences are written in rows
and end with a period.
Groups
 Groups:
Vertical column of elements on
the periodic table (18)
 Remember
that group is spelled group and
groups go up and down.
 Elements
in the same group have the
same number of valence electrons
(electrons in the last shell).
Valence electrons
 Responsible for atomic bonding
 Equal to the last digit of the group number
 How many valence electrons in this atom? What
group would it be in?
Groups
electrons determine an element’s
properties so all elements in the same
group have similar properties.
 Valence
 What
makes them different then???
Families of Elements
 Think
of each element as a member of a
family that is related to other elements
nearby.
 Elements
are classified as metals,
nonmetals or metalloids
 Groups
families
are sometimes referred to as
Metals
 Physical
Properties: Shiny (luster), good
conductors, high density, ductile (can be
made into thin wires), malleable (can be
hammered into thin sheets) and most are
silver
 Chemical
Properties: Corrosion (wearing
away because of a chemical reaction with
water), reactivity (bond with other atoms)
Metals
Nonmetals
 Physical
Properties: No luster, not
conductors, brittle, not ductile, low density,
and many are gaseous (can be solids or
liquids too though)
 Chemical
 All,
Properties: Highly reactive
except for hydrogen, are on the right
hand side of the periodic table.
Metalloids (Semconductors)
 Properties:
shiny or dull, conductors (but
not as good as metals), ductile and
malleable
 There
are only 6 total
Lanthanides and Actinides
 Rare
 Most
earth elements
of the actinides have been
synthesized by nuclear scientists (except
for uranium and thorium)
Periodic Trends Labeling Directions
1.
2.
Label the number of valence electrons at
the top of each group
Color the metals one color, the nonmetals
one color and the metalloids another.
3. Label the following groups:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Alkali Metals
Alkaline Earth Metals
Transition Metals
Boron Group
Carbon Group
Nitrogen Group
Oxygen Group
Halogens (only group with all 3 states of matter!)
Noble Gases
Lanthanides
Actinides
Types of Metals
1. Alkali Metals: very reactive
2. Alkaline-Earth Metals: form compounds
that are found in our bodies (calcium and
magnesium compounds)
3. Transition Metals: the properties
gradually change from being more similar
to Group 2 to being more like Group 13
(Gold, Silver and Platinum)
