Make sure you are taking notes in your packet!

Please follow instructions carefully.

You will go between notes and coloring on your Periodic Table.

Alkali Metals

• Located in Group 1 (except Hydrogen)

• Extremely reactive--they want to lose 1 electron to become "noble gas" like

The color does not matter, however make sure you ONLY color the Alkali Metals. Make sure to fill in your color key!

Color the Alkali Metals

Alkaline Earth Metals

• Located in Group 2

• Also very reactive

• Both Group 1 & 2 occur naturally as compounds

  • not individual elements

• Needs to lose 2 electrons to become "noble gas like"

The color does not matter, however make sure you ONLY color the Alkaline Earth Metals. DO NOT color inside the arrow! Make sure to fill in your color key!

Color the Alkaline Earth Metals

Halogens

• Located in Group 7

• Very active nonmetals

• Want to gain 1 electron to become more like a noble gas

The color does not matter, however make sure you ONLY color the Halogens. Make sure to fill in your color key!

Color the Halogens

Noble Gases

• Group 8

• Sometimes called "inter gases" since generally they NEVER react

• Mainly, but not always true, Kr & Xe will sometimes react

• Have a full valence shell (8 electrons

Look at you, taking notes!

The color does not matter, however make sure you ONLY color the Noble Gases. Make sure to fill in your color key!

Color the Noble Gases

• Located in the center of the Periodic Table

• 10 elements wide (d block)

• Semi-reactive, very valuable, crucial to many life processes

Transition Metals

​The Yellow color only!

The color does not matter, however make sure you ONLY color the Transition Metals. DO NOT color inside the arrow! Make sure to fill in your color key!

Color the Transition Metals

• Located at the bottom of the Periodic Table

• 14 elements wide (f block)

• Some are radioactive, but NOT all

• Lanthanides = Period 6(4f)

• Actinides = Period 7 (5f)

Lanthanides & Actinides

The color does not matter, however make sure you ONLY color the Lanthanides & Actinides. Make sure to fill in your color key!

Color the Lanthanides & Actinides
