Periodic Table Organiztion
The Rows of the periodic table are called periods – Represent energy levels
The Columns of the periodic table are called groups – Represent chemical properties
4
Multiple Choice
The vertical columns on the Periodic Table are called
periods
groups
families
elements
5
Multiple Choice
The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called
periods
groups
elements
families

3 Main Categories of the Periodic Table
Metals – Everything to the left of the stair step
Non-Metals – Everything to the right of the stair step
Metalloids – The elements along the stair steps
9
Multiple Choice
Most elements on the periodic table are
halogens
nonmentals
metals
metalloids
10
Metals
Group 1: Alkali Metals
Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals
Groups 3-12: Transition Metals
Lanthanides and Actinides are also transition metals but were placed at the bottom so it wouldn't be so wide. Actinides are all radioactive (unstable)
11
Group 1: Alkali Metals
These metals are extremely reactive
Never found in nature in their pure form
Silver colored and shiny
Density is extremely low so that they are soft enough to be cut with a knife
12
Group 2: Alkaline-earth Metals
Slightly less reactive than alkali metals
They are silver colored
More dense than alkali metals
13
Group 17: Halogens
All nonmetals
Very reactive
Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Tend to form salts with metals
14
Groups 18: Noble Gases
Unreactive nonmetal
Colorless, odorless gas at room temp
All found in earth's atmosphere in small amounts
Full outer energy levels
15
Metalloids
Have properties of both metals and nonmetals
All are solids at room temp
More brittle than metals, less brittle than nonmetals
semiconductors of electricity (makes them useful for computers)
16
Multiple Choice
Elements that are arranged in _______ have the most similar physical and chemical properties to each other.
