Families on the Periodic TableElements on the periodic table can be

grouped into families based on their chemical properties.

Each family has a specific name to differentiate it from the other families in the periodic table.

Elements in each family react differently with other elements.

ALKALI METALSGroup 1Hydrogen is not a

member, it is a non-metal1 electron in the outer

shellSoft and silvery metalsVery reactive, esp. with

waterConduct electricityColor them PURPLE

ALKALINE EARTH METALSGroup 22 electrons in

the outer shellWhite and

malleableReactive, but

less than Alkali metals

Conduct electricity

Color them GREEN

TRANSITION METALSGroups in the middle

Good conductors of heat and electricity.

Some are used for jewelry.

The transition metals are able to put up to 32 electrons in their second to last shell.

Can bond with many elements in a variety of shapes

Color them LIGHT BLUE

BORON FAMILY Group 33 electrons in

the outer shellMost are

metalsBoron is a

metalloidColor them

RED

CARBON FAMILY Group 44 electrons in

the outer shellContains

metals, metalloids, and a non-metal Carbon (C)

Color them YELLOW

NITROGEN FAMILY Group 55 electrons in

the outer shellCan share

electrons to form compounds

Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals

Color them BROWN

OXYGEN FAMILY Group 66 electrons in

the outer shellContains

metals, metalloids, and non-metals

ReactiveColor them

ORANGE

HalogensGroup 77 electrons in

the outer shellAll are non-

metalsVery reactive

are often bonded with elements from Group 1

Color them GREY(use your pencil)

Noble GasesGroup 8Exist as gasesNon-metals8 electrons in the

outer shell = FullHelium (He) has only

2 electrons in the outer shell = Full

Not reactive with other elements

Color them LIGHT GREEN

Rare Earth MetalsSome are

radioactiveThe rare

earths are silver, silvery-white, or gray metals.

Conduct electricity

Color them BLUE
