Color Coding the Periodic Table of Elements Ms. Nails 7 th & 8 th Grade Science Slide 2 Video: Developing the Periodic Table Slide 3 Families of the PTE: There are 18 families on the PTE. Each family has a specific name. The largest family is the Transition Metal Family. Families are found in columns. Columns run up and down (vertical). Slide 4 Groups of the PTE: Groups and Families are the same thing. However, when counting how many valence electrons each family has, we call them Groups. Groups, like families, are found in columns. Groups run up & down (vertical). Ex). Group 1 has 1 valence electron, Group 2 has 2 valence electrons, Group 3 has 3 valence electrons, and so on. We do not count the Transition Metal family when dealing with valence electrons, we skip over that family (they have a whole different set of rules when bonding). Elements in each group are grouped into families based on chemical properties. Slide 5 Groups of the PTE (cont.) Chemical properties would include how reactive they are. Elements in each group have similar properties with other elements in that group. Elements in each group are looking to bond with other elements to achieve the Happy Number of 8 valence electrons. Ex) Group 1 (Alkali Metal Family) bonds well with Group 7 (Halogens) to achieve 8 total valence electrons. Slide 6 Periods of the PTE There are 7 periods on the PTE. Atomic Number of each element increases as you move across the PTE. Periods are also called rows. Periods (Rows) run left to right. Each Period tells us how many electron shells the elements in the row has. Ex). Period 1 has 1 shell, Period 2 has 2 shells, Period 3 has 3 shells, and so on. Note: It may look like the bottom two are in their own periods, but they are not! They are in periods 6 and 7. Slide 7 Alkali Metals Family Number: 1 Group Number: 1 Number of valence electrons: 1 Physical Properties: Silvery, soft, malleable, ductile, good conductors Chemical Properties: Metals that want to lose their 1 valence electron. Reactivity increases as you move down the group.

Slide 10 Alkali Metals & Alkali Earth Metals Slide 11 Transition Metals Family Number: 3-12 Group Number: NO group numbers Number of valence electrons: Next to last shell can hold up 32 Physical Properties: hard, malleable, ductile, good conductors Chemical Properties: Forms oxides and chlorides Reactivity: Low States of Matter: Solids with exception of Mercury Bonds Well With: Do not worry about bonding. They have a whole different set of rules. Elemental Family Members: 21 (Scandium) through 29 (Copper) 39 (Yttrium) through 47 (Silver) 57 (Lanthanum) through 79 (Gold) 89 (Actinium) and all higher numbers. Uses/Found in: Uses Vary Slide 12 Transition Metals cont. Lanthanides: Part of Transition Metals, found on Period 6 and are reactive. Actinides: Also part of Transition Metal, found of Period 7 and are radioactive. These two sections are also known as Rare Earth Metals because they are abundantly found in Earths Crust. Slide 13 Boron Family Family Number: 13 Group Number: 3 Number of valence electrons: 3 Physical Properties: Boron is a mtl - good insulator. The rest are metals and are malleable. Chemical Properties: Metals, wants to Lose electrons rather than gain. Reactivity: Low States of Matter: Solids Bonds Well With: Oxygen Family Elements Elemental Family Members: B, Al, Ga, In, Tl, UUT Uses/Found in: B Borax Al cans Ga telescopes & mirrors In touch screens, flat screen TVs Tl Ringworm medicine Uut -Research Slide 14 Carbon Family Family Number: 14 Group Number: 4 Number of valence electrons: 4 Physical Properties:1 nonmetal, 2 metalloids, 2 metals Chemical Properties: Shares electrons with nonmetals, gains from metals. Reactivity: More reactive than the Borons, but still low.

Reactivity: Highly Reactive, elements reactivity weakens as it moves DOWN the group.

Uses and Bonds: Rocket fuel, makes up most 72% of the sun Bonds with Oxygen to make water Bonds with Nitrogen to make ammonia Bonds with Chlorine to make hydrochloric acid Slide 21 What does it mean to be reactive? Elements that are reactive bond easily with other elements to make compounds (two or more elements bonded together). What makes an element reactive? 1.An incomplete valence electron shell. 2.All atoms (except hydrogen and helium) want to have 8 electrons in their very outermost energy shell.(This is called the Octect Rule.) 3.Atoms bond until this level is complete. Atoms with few valence electrons lose them during bonding. 4. Atoms with 6, 7, or 8 valence electrons gain electrons during bonding.
