I HEART this image of the Periodic Table. http://i.imgur.com/XFpAX.jpgIt is a great way to look at each elements

because there are pictures that represent real life examples of how they are used!

Actual image is on the next slide.

Families on the Periodic TableElements on the periodic table can be

grouped into families/groups based on their chemical properties (AND valence electrons).

Each family/group has a specific name based on reactivity to different elements.

H has no family members (). Hydrogen is is a non-metal.

ALKALI METALSGroup 11 electron in the outer

shell (valence) Soft and silvery metalsVery reactive, especially

with waterConducts electricity

ALKALINE EARTH METALSGroup 22 electrons in the

outer shell (Valence electrons)

White and malleable

Reactive, but less than Alkali metals

Conducts electricity

TRANSITION METALSGroups in the

middle

Good conductors of heat and electricity.

Some are used for jewelry (malleable)

The transition metals are able to put up to 32 electrons in their second to last shell.

Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes.

BORON FAMILY Group 33 electrons in the

outer shell (Valence electrons)

Most are metalsBoron itself though

is a metalloid (which means it has metal like properties)

CARBON FAMILY Group 44 electrons in the

outer shellContains metals,

metalloids, and a non-metal Carbon (C)

*Make sure you check the large Periodic table to see if the element you are looking for is a metal, non-metal, gas or metalloid

NITROGEN FAMILY Group 55 electrons in the outer

shellCan share electrons to

form compoundsContains metals,

metalloids, and non-metals

*Make sure you check the large Periodic table to see if the element you are looking for is a metal, non-metal, gas or metalloid

OXYGEN FAMILY Group 66 electrons in the

outer shellContains metals,

metalloids, and non-metals

Reactive *Make sure you check the

large Periodic table to see if the element you are looking for is a metal, non-metal, gas or metalloid

HalogensGroup 77 electrons in the

outer shellAll are non-

metalsVery reactive

are often bonded with elements from Group 1

Noble GasesGroup 8Exist as gasesNon-metals8 electrons in the

outer shell = FullHelium (He) has

only 2 electrons in the outer shell = Full

Not reactive with other elements

Rare Earth MetalsSome are

RadioactiveThe rare

earths are silver, silvery-white, or gray metals.
