8.1 The Modern Periodic Table Objectives Describe the kinds of
information provided by the periodic table. Explain the structure
of the periodic table in terms of the periods and groups Generalize
about the properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids on the
periodic table. Organize data to develop a table of atomic
masses.
Slide 3
The Modern Periodic Table Imagine looking for the answer to a
homework question in a book with no table of contents! You would
have to thumb through the book-page by page. Why is it easier to
find information in a book with a table of con tents? Data that
have been organized are easier to find, compare, and
interpret.
Slide 4
The Modern Periodic Table One kind of table you use often is a
calendar. Think of the calendar as a grid made up of horizontal
rows and vertical columns. Each column represents a different day
of the week. Each day is repeated in every row through the whole
month. periodic.This arrangement of the days in the month is
periodic. Things that are periodic have a regular, repeating
pattern.
Slide 5
The Modern Periodic Table Like the days of the month, the
chemical elements can be arranged in a way that shows a repeating,
or periodic, pattern. The chemical properties of the elements
repeat as the elements increase in atomic number. periodic table.A
table that shows these patterns in the elements' properties is
called a periodic table.

Slide 7
At that time, chemists had identified about 70 elements.
Mendeleev wrote each element's name, atomic mass, and properties on
a card. He ordered the cards from lowest to highest atomic mass and
pinned them to his laboratory wall. He grouped elements that had
similar properties and put these cards in rows along the wall. In
1869, a Russian chemist named Dmitri Mendeleev created the first
periodic table of the elements.
Slide 8
The Modern Periodic Table
Slide 9
Arranging the elements in this way, Mendeleev ran into several
problems. So, he left spaces where no element seemed to fit and put
question marks in these spaces. Mendeleev predicted the properties
of elements that would be discovered to fill in the blank spaces.
One element he left space for, gallium, was discovered in
1875.
Slide 10
The Modern Periodic Table After Mendeleev's death, a British
physicist named Henry Moseley carried on Mendeleev's work. Moseley
arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic number instead
of atomic mass. He discovered that the pattern had no
irregularities. modern periodic tableThe position of an element in
the modern periodic table is related to its atomic number and the
arrangement of electrons in its energy levels.

8.2 Metals Objectives Describe common properties of metals.
Generalize about the trend in Groups 13 through 16. Classify metals
using the periodic table.
Slide 21
Properties of Metals Metals share many of the same properties.
luster.Most metals are silvery or gray in color. When polished,
they usually have a surface that reflects light, a quality called
luster. Luster is one of the properties of metals. Metals also
conduct heat and electricity.
Slide 22
Properties of Metals Most metals are hard and have high melting
points, but there are many exceptions. For example, pure gold and
pure silver are relatively soft, so they are not often used alone
in jewelry and coins. A few metals, such as gallium, have melting
points that aren't much higher than room temperature. One metal,
mercury, is actually a liquid at room temperature.
Slide 23
Properties of Metals One of the most useful properties of
metals is malleability. Materials that are malleable can be
flattened, bent, and shaped without breaking. Aluminum, for
example, can be flattened into foil. Most metals are also ductile.
They can be pulled into wire.
Slide 24
Properties of Metals Why do metals share all these properties?
Atoms have their electrons arranged in different energy levels. The
electrons in the highest energy level are most important, because
they determine an element's properties. Although metals have very
different total numbers of electrons, most have from one to three
electrons in the highest energy level.
Slide 25
Properties of Metals This low number of outer electrons is what
gives metals their properties. A metal atom gives up its outer
electrons very easily. When many metal atoms are combined, they all
share their outer electrons. These electrons move in a "cloud"
around the metal atoms. As a result, a metal can change shape
without breaking.
Slide 26
Properties of Metals The metal atoms slide past each other..
This behavior makes metals ductile and malleable. And they conduct
electricity because the electrons are free to move.
Slide 27

Slide 28
Alkali Metals alkali metals.Group 1 in the periodic table
contains six elements known as the alkali metals. The alkali metals
are very reactive. They all have just one electron in the highest
energy level of their atoms. Because this electron is so easily
lost, alkali metals are found in nature only as positively-charged
ions. They combine with negatively-charged ions to form salts.
Slide 29
Alkali Metals Table salt is made of sodium ions and ions of the
element chlorine. In pure form, all of the alkali metals have
similar properties. For example, they are so soft that they can be
cut easily with a knife. They have low densities and melt at low
temperatures. Cesium, in fact, will melt on a hot day.
Slide 30
Alkaline Earth Metals alkaline earth metalsThe six elements in
Group 2 are called the alkaline earth metals. Alkaline earth metals
are reactive, but they are not as reactive as the alkali metals.
Alkaline earth metal atoms have two electrons in the highest energy
level. Like the alkali metals, they occur in nature as ions
combined with other elements.
Slide 31
Alkaline Earth Metals Magnesium and calcium are common alkaline
earth metals. Calcium compounds make up much of your bones and
teeth. These elements are also used to make building materials,
such as cement. The shells of sea animals also contain calcium. The
compound magnesium hydroxide, also called milk of magnesia, is used
to soothe upset stomachs.
Slide 32
Transition Metals transition metalsMost transition metals are
shiny. They have high melting points and are good conductors of
heat and electricity. Because of the arrangement of their outer
electrons, transition metals are much less reactive than the alkali
or alkaline earth metals. They can, however, combine with other
elements.
Slide 33
Transition Metals Groups of transition metals share similar
properties. For example, iron, cobalt, and nickel are the only
metals with magnetic properties. Transition metals are often found
in ores. Ores are minerals containing relatively large amounts of
metal compounds.
Slide 34
Rare-Earth Metals rare-earth metalsThe elements located in the
two separate rows at the bottom of the periodic table are the
rare-earth metals. The lanthanide series, elements 58-71, follows
lanthanum in Period 6. The actinide series, elements 90-103,
follows actinium in Period 7.
Slide 35
Rare-Earth Metals Except for element 61, all of the lanthanides
occur in nature. Most of the actinides, however, are synthetic, or
made in laboratories. All these elements are radioactive. The most
common and known element is Uranium. Uranium is used as nuclear
fuel when its converted into plutonium, through a nuclear
reaction.

8.3 Nonmetals & Metalloids Objectives 1.Identify the groups
containing nonmetals and metalloids. 2.Explain why nonmetals have
different properties than metals. 3.List the nonmetals essential to
life. 4.Communicate in a chart the different properties of metals,
nonmetals, and metalloids.
Slide 38
Nonmetals & Metalloids Did you know your life depends on
nonmetals? Look to the right of the zigzag line in the periodic
table - in Periods 2 and 3, locate carbon, nitrogen, oxygen,
sulfur, and phosphorus. These five nonmetals make up much of your
body.
Slide 39
Nonmetals & Metalloids Together with hydrogen, they form
fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids- the building
blocks of living things.
Slide 40
Nonmetals & Metalloids Metalloids also play an important
role in daily life. For example, silicon is used to make computer
chips. These chips are used in computers, watches, calculators, and
even cars.
Slide 41
Properties of Nonmetals and Metalloids Unlike metals, nonmetals
do not have luster and are poor conductors of heat and electricity.
Solid nonmetals are usually dull and brittle. They are neither
malleable nor ductile, Many nonmetals are gases at room
temperature.
Slide 42
Properties of Nonmetals and Metalloids Most nonmetals have many
electrons in their highest energy levels. They are held tightly by
the nucleus and not free to move around. The atoms of many
nonmetals tend to accept electrons from other elements. Many form
negatively-charged ions.
Slide 43
Properties of Nonmetals and Metalloids Metalloids have
properties of both metals and nonmetals. All the metalloids are
shiny solids, but they do not have as much luster as the metals.
Most conduct heat and electricity, but not as well as metals.
Slide 44
Boron Group The only element in Group 13 that is not a metal is
boron. Boron is a brittle, black metalloid. It is used to make
boric acid, a mild antiseptic and laundry products.
Slide 45
Boron Group Below Boron in the periodic table is aluminum.
Aluminum, metal has many uses because it is light, soft, and easy
to cut. It also conducts heat and electricity very well.
Slide 46
Boron Group Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth's
crust. However, extracting aluminum from bauxite, its major ore,
requires great amounts of energy.
Slide 47
Boron Group The other elements in the boron group are the
uncommon metals gallium, indium, and thallium.
Slide 48
Carbon Group How is the lead in your pencil like a diamond?
Both are made of carbon. Carbon is the only nonmetal in Group 14.
It has two common fo rms: graphite and diamond. Graphite makes up
much of the "lead" in your pencil.
Slide 49
Carbon Group Carbon is unique because it can form an unlimited
number of different compounds. Most of the compounds found in
living things contain carbon.
Slide 50
Carbon Group Silicon and germanium are metalloids. The silicon
compounds in rocks and soil make up 60 percent of the earth's
crust. Tin and lead are both metals. They are both obtained from
mining ore. "Tin" cans are steel food containers lined with tin.
Lead and its compounds are poisonous.
Slide 51
Nitrogen Group About 80 percent of the air is nitrogen, a
nonmetal in Group 15. You breathe in nitrogen molecules with every
breath. Pure nitrogen is a gas that does not combine easily with
other elements.
Slide 52
Nitrogen Group Nitrogen is one of the elements essential to
life. Living things need nitrogen compounds to make proteins. If
its temperature is lowered to -210 o C, nitrogen gas becomes a
liquid.
Slide 53
Oxygen Group Oxygen, one of the most important elements on the
earth, is also the most abundant. It makes up about 20% of air, 60%
of the mass of the human body, and 50% of the mass of the earth's
crust. Oxygen is also produced by plants during
photosynthesis..
Slide 54
Oxygen Group Sulfur is a nonmetal. Major uses of sulfur include
making rubber and sulfuric acid. Selenium is a nonmetal that
conducts electricity in the presence of sunlight. Because of this
property, selenium is used in light meters, solar cells, and
photocopiers.
Slide 55
Halogens The elements in Group 17 are called halogens. Halogen
means "salt-former. Most of the food you eat contains a halogen
compound. Halogens combine with metals to form salts. Sodium
chloride, or table salt, is a halogen compound. Your body needs
sodium chloride to conduct nerve impulses.
Slide 56
Halogens Fluorine is the most reactive of all nonmetals. It
comes from a mineral called fluorspar. Fluoride toothpaste is made
with fluorine. It is also combined with other nonmetals to make the
nonstick coatings on pans.
Slide 57
Halogens Chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine are the other
halogens. Chlorine is a green gas. Bromine is the only nonmetal
that is liquid at room temperature.
Slide 58
Nobel Gases Group 18 contains six colorless gases. They are
called noble gases, because they don't readily combine with other
elements. All the noble gases exist in the earth's atmosphere. Neon
and other noble gases can be found in advertising signs.
Slide 59
Nobel Gases Helium is the second lightest gas. Since it is
lighter than air, helium is used to fill balloons and blimps.
Slide 60
Hydrogen Hydrogen is set apart from other elements in the
periodic table because its properties do not fit any single group.
Although its physical properties resemble those of helium, hydrogen
reacts easily with other elements. In some chemical reactions
hydrogen acts like a metal; in others it acts like a nonmetal.
