Periodic Table Explained: Key Concepts

The document discusses the periodic table, explaining that it organizes elements by their atomic number and properties. It describes the organization of elements into periods and groups, and how elements in the same group have similar chemical properties due to sharing the same number of valence electrons. Trends in properties like electronegativity, ionization energy, and atomic radius across the periodic table are also explained.

I made the PERIODIC TABLE !


What is the PERIODIC
TABLE?

o Shows all known


elements in the
universe.
o Organizes the
elements by
chemical
properties.
Key to the Periodic Table

• Elements are
organized on the
table according to
their atomic
number.
Atomic Number

• This refers to how


many protons an atom
of that element has.
• No two elements,
have the same number
of protons.

Bohr Model of Hydrogen Atom

Wave Model
Atomic Mass

• Atomic Mass refers to


the “weight” of the
atom.
• It is derived at by
adding the number of
protons with the
number of neutrons. This is a helium atom. Its atomic
Hmass is 4 (protons plus neutrons).

What is its atomic number?


Valence Electrons

• Valence electrons are


the electrons in the
outer energy level of an
atom.
• These are the electrons
that are transferred or
shared when atoms
bond together.
Rows are called “Periods”
• Periods = rows
• From left to right
• What do elements in a row
have in common?
– the same number of electron
shells
• Every element in Period 1
(1st row) has 1 shell for its
electrons (H & He)
• All of the elements in period
2 have two shells for their
electrons.
• It continues like this all the
way down the table
Columns are called “Groups” or
Families
• Column = group = families
• What do elements in a group have in common?
– same number of valence electrons (electrons in the
outer shell)
• They share similar characteristics with the other
elements in their family.
• Group 1: 1 valence electron
• Group 2: 2 valence electrons
• Group 13: 3 valence electrons
• Group 14: 4 valence electrons
• Group 15: 5 valence electrons
• Group 16: 6 valence electrons
• Group 17: 7 valence electrons
• Group 18: 8 valence electrons except He who has 2
Properties of Metals
• Good conductors of heat
and electricity
• Shiny.
• Ductile (can be stretched
into thin wires)
• Malleable (can be
pounded into thin
sheets)
• A chemical property of
metal is its reaction with
water which results in
corrosion.
Properties of Non-Metals

• Poor conductors of
heat and electricity
• Not ductile or
malleable
• Brittle and break
easily
• Dull
• Many non-metals are
gases.

Sulfur
Properties of Metalloids

• Have properties of both metals


and non-metals
• Solids that can be shiny or dull.
• Conduct heat and electricity better
than non-metals but not as well as
metals.
• They are ductile and malleable.

Silicon
Region: Metals
Group1: Alkalai Metals
• 1 valence
electron

• Very
Reactive
Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals
• 2 valence
electrons
• Very
reactive,
but less
than alkali
metals
Groups 3 – 12: Transition Metals
• 1-2 valence
electrons
• Less reactive
than alkaline
earth metals
because they
don’t give away
their electrons
as easily
• Bottom 2 row
are the
Lanthanide &
Actinide series
• Lanthanide Series:
– shiny reactive metals
– Most found in nature

• Actinides Series:
– radioactive and
unstable
– Most are man-made &
not stable in nature
Region: Metalloids
Region: Nonmetals
Group 17: Halogens
• 7 valence
electrons
• Very
reactive
• Nonmetals
Group 18: Noble Gases
 8 valence
electrons (except
He which only
has 2)
 “Happy” because
their outer
electron shell is
filled!
 NON
REACTIVE
(inert)
gases
 Nonmetals

Electronegativity – can be understood


as a chemical property describing an
atom's ability to attract and bind with
electrons. It increases from left to
right across the period and decreases
top to bottom down a group.

Ionization Energy – is the energy required


to remove an electron from a neutral atom
in its gaseous phase. It increases from left to
right across the period and decreases top to
bottom down a group.

Electron affinity – is the ability of an


atom to accept an electron. It increases
from left to right across the period and
decreases top to bottom down a group.
Periodic Trends

Atomic radius – is one-half the


distance between the nuclei of two
atoms. It decreases from left to right
across the period and increases top to
bottom down a group.

Metallic character – can be defined as


how readily an atom can lose an
electron. It decreases from left to right
across the period and increases top to
bottom down a group.
