Periodic Table
Group 1A: Alkali Metals
Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs
• Solids at room temp
• Reactive
• React with water to produce hydrogen and
alkaline solutions.
• Found in nature only in compounds, not as
free element.
Group 1A: Alkali Metals
Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs
Reaction of
potassium + H2O
Cutting sodium metal
Group 2A: Alkaline Earth Metals
Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
• React similarly to alkali metals with water
(except Be)
• Occur inC nature only as compounds
• Abundance: Ca – 5th
Mg – 7th
• Calcium carbonate – limestone, coral,
marble, chalk, sea shells
• Radium – radioactive, medicinal use
Group 2A: Alkaline Earth Metals
Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
Magnesium
Magnesium
oxide
Group 3A: B, Al, Ga, In, Tl
• Aluminum most important; abundant in
Earth’s crust
• B only metalloid, the rest are metals
Group 3A: B, Al, Ga, In,
Tl
Cu
Al
Al resists corrosion
(here in nitric acid).
Gallium is one of the few
metals that can be liquid
at room temp.
Gems & Minerals
• Sapphire:
Al2O3 with Fe3+
or Ti3+ impurity
gives blue
whereas V3+
gives violet.
• Ruby: Al2O3
with Cr3+
impurity
Group 4A: C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb
• Form oxides of the form XO2
• Carbon – in living organisms
– Has different elemental forms: allotropes
• Diamond, Graphite, Buckyballs
• Silicon oxides – clay quartz, gems
Group 4A: C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb
Quartz, SiO2
Diamond
Group 5A: N, P, As, Sb, Bi
• Nitrogen (N2) – 75% of the atmosphere
– In proteins, DNA, chlorophylls
– Ammonia, NH3
• Phosphorous - can glow in the dark
– In DNA and RNA
– Red and White allotropes
• Red – match tips
• White – ignites spontaneously so stored under
water
Group 5A: N, P, As, Sb, Bi
Ammonia, NH3
White and
red
phosphorus
Group 6A: O, S, Se, Te, Po
• Oxygen – 20% of the atmosphere
– Powers most life on Earth
• Sulfur
– In proteins
– Burning sulfur – brimstone
Group 6A: O, S, Se, Te, Po
Sulfuric acid dripping
from snot-tite in cave
in Mexico
Elemental S has a ring
structure.
Group 7A: Halogens
F, Cl, Br, I, At
• Non-metals
• Exist as diatomic molecules
– F2, Cl2, Br2, I2
– F2, Cl2, Br2 gases at room temperature
– I2 solid
– At rare
– React with alkali metals to form “salts”
Group 7A:
Halogens
F, Cl, Br, I, At
Group 8A: Noble Gases
He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
• Least reactive
– Some have no known compounds
• Helium – produces by fusion of hydrogen
in the sun
Group 8A: Noble Gases
He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
Transition
Elements
• All metals
• Most found in compounds
• Silver, gold, platinum less reactive and
found as pure elements
Lanthanides & Actinides
•Not very abundant
•Uranium is highest atomic number that occurs
naturally. Those with greater atomic number are
man made and often have short lifetime.
