atomic symbols.
atomic sizes.
atomic weights.
chemical properties.
Carbon and other nonmetals are found in which area of the periodic table?
On the left-most side
On the right side

In the bottom two rows
Most elements are
metals.
nonmetals
metalloids.
semiconductors.
This element does not match the properties of any other group so it stands alone. It is placed above Group 1 but it is not part of that group. It is very reactive, colorless, odorless, and a gas at room temperature.
Hydrogen
Helium
Nitrogen
Oxygen
Group 2: Slightly less reactive because they have 2 valence electrons. They are silver colored and more dense that Group 1 metals.
Transition Metals
Alkali Metals
Alkaline-earth Metals
Actinides
Groups 3-12: These metals have a moderate range of reactivity and a wide range of properties. They are shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity. They have higher densities and melting points than Groups 1 and 2. These have 1 or 2 valence electrons.
Transition Metals
Alkali Metals
Alkaline-earth Metals
Lanthanides
Group 13: Contains on metalloid and 4 metals. They are reactive. All have 3 valence electrons (Group # minus 10).
Boron Group
Nitrogen Group
Oxygen Group
Carbon Group
What element is in period 4, group 1?
K - Potassium
V - Vandium
C - Carbon
Ti - Titanium
Which two elements would have similar properties?
Ar - Argon and Xe - Xenon
Og - Oganesson and Lu - Lutetium
He - Helium and Lu - Lutetium
Ar - Argon and Se - Selenium
Name this group: These metals are the second most reactive.
