Table

The Modern Periodic Table “Periodic” - Repeating patterns

Listed in order of increasing number of protons (atomic #)

Properties of elements repeat Periodic Law-Periodic Law- when elements arranged by increasing

number of protons, properties repeat in pattern

Columns in the Periodic Table

-vertical (up & down) -called groups or families-#ed 1-18 or 1A through 8A-elements in same family have

similar properties

Rows in the Periodic Table

-horizontal (left – right)-called a period-properties change greatly across

period-first element in period is very active

metal-last element in most periods is noble

gas-7 periods (number them on your

periodic table)

Element Key

Important information about an element is given in each square of the periodic table: its atomic number chemical symbol element name average atomic mass

6

CCarbon12.01

For example:Carbon has atomic # 6 (or has 6 protons), an average atomic mass of 12.01 and a symbol of C

Atomic Mass

Atomic mass is a value that depends on the masses of an element’s isotopes and how common they are in nature.

Two isotopes of copper 72% copper-6328% copper-65

Makes the average 63.56 amu

Determining Average Atomic Mass

Copper-63 (mass is 63) is 72% abundant

Copper-65 (mass is 65) is 28% abundant

1. Convert percent to a decimal (move decimal 2 places left)

2. Multiply decimal by the mass

3. Add the two together

4. 63*0.72 = 45.36 65*0.28 = 18.2

5. 45.36 + 18.2 = 63.5 average atomic mass

Metals Most solids (Hg is liquid) Luster – shiny. Ductile – drawn into thin

wires. Malleable – hammered into

sheets. Conductors of heat and

electricity. Include transition metals –

“bridge” between elements on left & right of table

Non-Metals

Properties are generally opposite of metals

Poor conductors of heat and electricity

Low boiling points Many are gases at room temperature Solid, non-metals are brittle (break

easily) Chemical properties vary

Metalloids

stair-step pattern Have properties similar to

metals and non-metals Ability to conduct heat and

electricity varies with temp Better than non-metals but

not metals

Variation Across a Period: Left to Right

Physical and Chemical properties Atomic size decreasesMetallic properties decreaseAbility to lose an electron decreasesAbility to gain electrons increases

The Elements

Hip Hop Classroom

What are Valence electrons?

outermost e-’s Responsible for chem props Elements in same group… same # of VE ALL atoms want full outer energy level (usually 8 VE) To get full outer energy level, some elements:

lose e- (metals) gain e- (non-metals) share electrons (some non-metals & metalloids)

Introducing the ten major

groups (families) on the modern Periodic

Table:

Alkali Metals- 1 valence electron (VE)- soft, silver-white, shiny

metals- never found pure - most reactive metals- Reactivity increases

down group

reactivity increases

potassium

Label the Alkali Metals to your PT

Alkaline Earth Metals

- 2 VE- not as reactive as

alkali metals- often mixed with

Al- forms strong/light

weight alloys

magnesium

Alkaline Earth Metals

Magnesium Used to make steel

(light metal w/o losing strength)

photosynthesis (chlorophyll)

Calcium bones & teeth Chalk, limestone, pearls,

plaster

Label the Alkaline Earth Metals to your PT

Boron Family

Boron Hard/brittle never found

pure in nature in borax...used

to make detergents & cosmetics

-3 VE

Boron FamilyAluminum most

abundant metal in earth’s crust

important metal for industry light, strong,

slow to corrode

13

AlAluminu

m26.98

Aluminum

Label the Boron Family on your PT

Carbon Family- 4 VE- Can gain 4 e-,

lose 4 e-, or share e-

- Most compounds in body contain C

- Si 2nd most abundant element in Earth’s crust

- Si used to tip saw blades

silicon

Label the Carbon Family on your PT

Nitrogen Family- 5 VE - Tend to gain 3 e-- N and P used in

fertilizers- P on tips of

matches

Arsenic

Label the Nitrogen Family on your PT

Oxygen Family- 6 VE- Tend to gain 2 e-- O very abundant

element- S used in fertilizers- O needed for digestion

sulfur

Label the Oxygen Family on your PT

Halogen Family (“salt-former”)

-7 VE-most active nonmetals-never found pure in nature-react with alkali metals

easily (forms salts)-F most active halogen

Halogens cont…

F compounds in toothpasteCl kills bacteriaI keeps thyroid gland

working properly

bromine

Label the Halogen Group on your Periodic TableLabel the Halogen Group on your Periodic Table

The Noble Gases (Inert Gases)

- non-reactive- outermost e-

shell is full (8 VE)

- In “neon” lights-in earth’s

atmosphere (less than 1%)

Neon

Label the Noble Gases on your Periodic TableLabel the Noble Gases on your Periodic Table

Transition Metals Almost all solids at room temp (Hg exception) ductile, malleable, conductors VE varies Less Reactive than Groups 1 & 2 Fe, Co, and Ni produce magnetic field

mercury

Label the Transition Metals on your periodic tableLabel the Transition Metals on your periodic table

Rare Earth ElementsLanthanide series (period 6)Actinide Series (period 7)

Some radioactive Separated from table to make easy to

read/print silver, silvery-white, or gray metals. Conduct electricity

uranium

Label the Lanthanide Series on your PT

Label the Actinide Series on your PT
