Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian chemist, arranged known elements in rows and columns according to mass and chemical properties.

He left spaces between certain elements to account for the possibility that other undiscovered elements existed.

Although Mendeleev did not know about atomic structure, his table is the basis of the modern periodic table.

MODERN PERIODIC TABLEMODERN PERIODIC TABLEThe discovery of protons and that all atoms of

an element have the same number of protons led to the formation of the modern periodic table in which elements are arranged by atomic number (number of protons).

MODERN PERIODIC TABLEMODERN PERIODIC TABLEThe discovery of protons and that all atoms of

an element have the same number of protons led to the formation of the modern periodic table in which elements are arranged by atomic number (number of protons).

Each row (going across) in the table is called a period. Period numbers match the number of energy levels. All of the elements in a period share the same highest energy level.

Each row (going across) in the table is called a period. Period numbers match the number of energy levels. All of the elements in a period share the same highest energy level.

Each column (going down) in the table is called a group. All of the elements in a group have the same number of electrons in their outer shells or valence electrons, and therefore have similar properties.

CLASSES OF ELEMENTSCLASSES OF ELEMENTSThe table puts elements into classes

three different ways.1. Elements are labeled according to

whether they are solids, liquids or gases at room temperature. (Color of the letters).

2. Elements are divided into those that are found in nature and those that are man made (Man made are white letters).

3. Elements are classified by their properties: metals, non-metals, and metalloids. (Color of the boxes).

CLASSES OF ELEMENTSCLASSES OF ELEMENTSMost elements are metals – good

conductors of heat and electricity, solids at room temperature, malleable (not brittle).

Transition metals are in columns 3 through 12 or Groups with a B and have similar properties.

Transition metals are in columns 3 through 12 and have similar properties.

Nonmetals are poor conductors and are mostly gases at room temperature. When solid they are brittle.

Nonmetals are poor conductors and are mostly gases at room temperature. When solid they are brittle.

Metalloids look like metals, but do not have the properties of metals.

VALENCE ELECTRONSVALENCE ELECTRONSValence electrons are electrons in the

highest occupied energy level or outer shell/ring.

The number of valence electrons an element has determines which group (or column) it is found on the periodic table.

VALENCE ELECTRONSVALENCE ELECTRONSValence electrons are electrons in the

highest occupied energy level or outer shell/ring.

The number of valence electrons an element has determines which group (or column) it is found on the periodic table.

Elements in a group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

ALKALI METALSALKALI METALSGroup 1A.Each element has only one valence

electron.Highly reactive, so they are not found in

nature by themselves, only in compounds with other elements.

Reactivity increases from the top to the bottom.

Soft metals, cut easily.Examples: lithium, sodium, potassium.

ALKALINE EARTH METALSALKALINE EARTH METALSGroup 2A.Each element has two valence

electrons.Harder than alkali metals.Examples: Calcium, makes bones and

teeth; magnesium, makes chlorophyll in plants.

BORON FAMILYBORON FAMILYGroup 3A.Each element has three valence

electrons.Includes metals and metalloids.Examples: Aluminum (metal) and boron

(metalloid).

CARBON FAMILYCARBON FAMILYGroup 4A.Each element has four valence

electrons.Becomes more metallic as you go down

the column.Examples: Carbon (nonmetal) - the

basis of life; silicon (metalloid) – what rocks are made of; tin and lead (metals).

NITROGEN FAMILYNITROGEN FAMILYGroup 5A.Each element has five valence

electrons.Becomes more metallic as you go down

the column.Examples: Nitrogen (nonmetal) – 78%

of the air on Earth, essential element for life; Phosphorus (nonmetal) - essential element for life.

OXYGEN FAMILYOXYGEN FAMILYGroup 6A.Each element has six valence electrons.Members of group have different

chemical properties.Examples: Oxygen (nonmetal) – the

most abundant element in Earth’s crust, essential element for life; Sulfur (nonmetal) – can be found in large deposits on its own. Creates sulfuric acid, a component of acid rain.

HALOGENSHALOGENSGroup 7A.Each element has seven valence electrons.Highly reactive.Members of group have similar chemical

properties.Examples: Fluorine (nonmetal) – helps

prevent tooth decay; Chlorine (nonmetal) – component of salt and used to kill bacteria in water; Iodine (nonmetal) – needed by the human body for thyroid gland to work properly.

NOBLE GASESNOBLE GASESGroup 8A. All members of group are colorless,

odorless gases and nonmetals.Helium has two valence electrons, and the

other noble gases have eight valence electrons.The valence shell or outer shell of all of the

noble gases (including helium) are full of electrons. There is no room in their outer shells to put in more electrons

Because their outer shells are full, the noble gases are extremely nonreactive. They do not want to take on or give up any electrons.

Examples: Helium – lighter than air, allows balloons to float. Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon – when excited, give off different colors of light used in signs. Radon – radioactive health hazard in homes.
