Periodic Properties

SPS4b Use the Periodic Table to predict the above properties for the representative elements.

SPS4a Determine the trends of the following:• Number of valence electrons• Types of ions formed by representative

elements• Location of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids• Phases at room temperature

Groups• The group number is the number assigned

to a vertical column on the periodic table. • Another name for group is a Family• There are 18 groups in the periodic table. • Groups 1, 2, 13 – 18 are representative

Periods • 1. The period number is the number

assigned to a horizontal row on the periodic table.

• 2. The number of protons increase from left to right across a period.

• 3. This number is the atomic number.• The period number indicates how many

energy levels (rings) each atom has.

METALS• shiny-luster• solids (except Hg)• malleable• ductile (stretch to wire)• conduct heat & electricity • most elements are metals

NONMETALS• solids, liquids & gases• luster-dull• brittle• poor conductors• upper-right hand corner (& H)

Metalliods• along stairstep line – between B & Al

(Al is not a metalloid!)• classified as nonmetals but conduct

heat and electricity under certain conditions

• some metal & nonmetal properties

Periodic Family Names

Group 1 - Alkali Metals• soft, shiny• reacts violently with water• VERY reactive, one valence e- to

lose; • cation

Group 2 - Alkaline Earth Metals

•2 valence e-; cation• reactive

Transition Metals• Groups 3-12 • Ions change – changes

properties • NOT REPRESENTATIVE!

Halogens• -Group 17• -1 ions, highly reactive •7 valence e-

Noble Gases•Group 18•unreactive, 8 valence e-• exist as single atoms,

inert

Phases of Elements• 1. Liquids: You must know: Hg and Br• 2. Gases: Don’t memorize, but you need

to know their general location. Gases are towards the right side of the periodic table.

• 3. Solids: All metals, except Hg - mercury

Vocabulary to know

• Valence electron: electrons in the outermost energy level (ring)

• Cation: (+) charged ion• Anion: (-) charged ion

Why ions form...•To get as close to an “octet” as

possible

Octet Rule

•Atoms tend to share, gain or lose electrons to have a set of eight (8) electrons

in their outer shell.

Metals• Most elements are

metals. • 88 elements to the left of

the stair step line are metals or metal like elements.

Metals•Shiny, silvery, solids

Mercury, Hg

Ions are ….•Charged atom

or group of atoms

Ions are formed….

•By loss or gain of electrons

Positive ions•Cations

Negative ions

•anions
