Important People to
Remember

Dmitri Mendeleev
- published 1st periodic table in 1869
- arranged elements by atomic mass
Important People to
Remember
Henry Moseley
- arranged the periodic table for today
- arranged elements by atomic number

Metals, Nonmetals, and
Metalloids
The heavy zigzag line
separates metals and
nonmetals.
• Metals are located to the
left.
• Nonmetals are located to
the right.
• Metalloids are located
along the heavy zigzag
line between the metals
and nonmetals.

Alkali Metals





Group 1: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
VERY reactive
Soft Metals
Rarely exist in nature alone
Form salts when combined
Alkaline Earth Metals




Group 2: Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba,
Ra
Reactive
Found in compounds that are
in the Earth’s Crust
More dense and harder than
alkali metals
Transition Metals




In the middle (dblock)
Much LESS reactive
Electron in highest
energy level can
change
Therefore when
they form ions, their
charges can vary.
Examples:
Cu+2
Cu+1
Halogens




Group 7: F, Cl, Br, I, At
Most reactive non metals
Fluorine most reactive non metal
Physical properties very within group
Noble Gases




Group 8: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
Don’t react or combine with
anyone! (Unless forced) INERT
GASES
Low Boiling Points
All gases at room temperture
Lanthanides
Elements 58-71
- All occur in nature except 61
Rare earth metals
 Very reactive
 High melting points and boiling points
 Used in lamps, lasers, magnets, and
motion picture projectors.

Elements 90-103
Most are synthetic (man-made)
Almost all are radio active
Very dense
Can be found in smoke detectors,
nuclear weapons, and radio active
minerals
Periodic Law

Periodic Law = trends that occur
throughout the periodic table
-Atomic Radius
-Ionization Energy
-Electronegativity
How are the elements
organized?




Atoms in the same group have the
same number of valence electrons.
Outer shell = valence shell (outside
electrons)
8 valence electrons= stable
Valence electrons determine reactivity
and how strongly an atom will bond
with other atoms.
Determine Valence Electrons
- These atoms want 8
valence electrons
- Is it easier for them
to gain or lose a
certain amount of
electrons?
Atomic Radius Trend
What is atomic radius?
- Distance from the nucleus to the valence
electrons
- It’s the size of the atom!
Atomic Radius
-As you go across the period
what happens to the atomic
radius?
-As you go down a group
what happens to the atomic
radius?
Atomic Radius Trend
As you go across a period, the number of protons increases (eincrease too, but on the same energy level). More p+ can pull
in e- closer, decreasing the radius.
More attractions = SMALL atomic
radius
As you go down a group, e- are added to new energy levels. Each level is
further from the nucleus, which increases the radius.
More energy levels = LARGE atomic
radius
Electronegativity


Electronegativity is the atom’s want to gain
electrons
An atoms LOVE for electrons!!
Electronegativity

- What happens
when you go
across a period?
- Down a group?
Electronegativity




As you go across a period, electrons are held more closely because the atomic
radius decreases. It is easier to attract electrons, so electronegativity increases.
Small radius (more attractions) = HIGH
electronegativity
As you move down a group, electrons are further away from nucleus because
the atomic radius increases. It is harder to attract electrons, so
electronegativity decreases.
Large radius (less attractions) = LOW
electronegativity
Electronegativity


Look at the dot structures!
The atom that wants to GAIN electrons
will have a high electronegativity!
Ionization energy

Ionization Energy is the energy needed
to remove a valence electron
-What do see as you go
across the period?
-What happens to the
energy going down a
group?
Ionization energy





•As you go across a period, electrons are held more closely
because the atomic radius decreases. It is easier to attract
electrons, so electronegativity increases.
Small radius (more attractions) = HIGH
ionization energy
As you go down a group, electrons are further from nucleus
because the atomic radius increases. It takes less energy to
remove an electron, so the ionization energy decreases.
Large radius (less attractions) = LOW ionization
energy
You can also look at the dot structures!
