Periodic Table

by Jessica Holmes

Multiple Choice

Where are the non-metals located

• to the left of the stair case

• to the right of the stair case

The periodic table is FULL of patterns.

• If you know the patterns, you can use it to find information quickly about the elements

• The two patterns we are going to review are the periods and the group numbers

​Now, let's do Quizziz

Let's start with the periods

• periods are the name for the rows that go across the table

• there are 7 rows on the periodic table

• the pattern is the elements in a period have the same number of energy levels

• as elements get bigger with more electrons, the elements need more space for their electrons.

Okay! So the period number tells us the number of energy levels and element has.

• the bigger the number of electrons, the more energy levels it needs

• so as you go down the periodic table, the elements have more energy levels

• the maximum number of energy levels is 7

Multiple Choice

How was the first periodic table arranged?

• by metals and nonmetals

• by physical and chemical properties

• alphabetical

• by atomic number

Now let's talk groups

• groups go up and down on the periodic table

• there are 18 groups on the periodic table

• BUT only groups 1 and 2 and 13-18 follow any sort of pattern.

• the pattern is the group number can help you quickly figure out the number of valence electrons

• valence electrons are the electrons on LAST energy level

• valence electrons are the ones responsible for bonding- so VERY important!

The Group Pattern

The group numbers 1,2 13-18 can help to quickly tell how many valence electrons there are for the elements in the group

Multiple Choice

Which is NOT a chemical family?

• Alkali Metals

• Transition Metals

• Noble Gases

• Carbonites

The Group Pattern

The bolded number at the top of the group tell the number of valence electrons the group has.

Group 1 has 1 valence electron

Group 2 has 2 valence electrons

Now for the lesson...

The Group Pattern

The bolded number at the top of the group tell the number of valence electrons the group has.

Group 13 has 3 valence electrons

Group 14 has 4 valence electrons

(see the pattern yet?)

Group 15 has 5

Group 16 has 6

Group 17 has 7

Group 18 (mostly) has 8

*Helium in group 18 is an exception - it only has 2 electrons!

Multiple Choice

How many valence electrons do element in group 2 have?

• 1

• 2

• 12

Multiple Choice

How many valence electrons do element in group 14 have?

• 1

• 4

• 14

Multiple Choice

How many valence electrons do element in group 18 have?

• 1

• 8, except Helium only has 2

• 18

Multiple Choice

Which of these elements has a larger atomic radius?

• Lithium Li

• Fluorine F

• Carbon C

Groups and periods

• Groups are the vertical columns on the periodic table.

• Periods are the horizontal rows.

• Elements in the same group will have the same characteristics because they have the same # of valence e-.

• Those elements in the same periods (rows) will have the same number of electron energy levels.
