Do Now Based on what we learned yesterday, what

does the structure of the periodic table allow us to predict about an element?

The periodic table allows us to predict chemical and physical properties of an element.

MetalsShinySolid at room temperatureConduct heat and electricityMalleable and ductile

Alkali MetalsGroup 1 (except hydrogen)Extremely reactive – found in compounds

with other elementsExtremely soft (can cut with a knife)Example: sodium (Na) is found in table

salt

Alkaline Earth Metals

Group 2 elementsHighly reactiveSofter than most metals except the alkalisExample: Calcium (Ca) is used in muscle

contractions

Transition MetalsGroups 3-12Create color in many compoundsCan have magnetic propertiesExample: Iron (Fe) is used in construction

because it is strong

Inner Transition Metals

Two sets at the bottom of the table

Lanthanide Series (top)

Actinide Series (bottom)Example: Elements in the Lanthanide

series are used as phosphors (emit light when hit with electrons)

Non-MetalsTypically gases or dull solidsPoor conductors of electricity and heatVery important in living organisms

HalogensGroup 17Highly reactive – bad for living creatures in

high dosesExamples: chlorine in swimming pools

Noble GasesGroup 18Extremely unreactiveColorless, odorlessExample: Neon gas is used to light up

neon signs

MetalloidsBorder between metals and non-metalsHave physical and chemical properties of

both metals and non-metalsExamples: Silicon is used in both

computers and prosthetics

Customize Your Periodic TableThis is YOUR periodic table to use throughout the year. Make

it pretty and make it your own!

Select a color and color all the metalloids: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At

Select a second color and color all the non-metals All the noble gases All the halogens (except for astatine) H, C, N, O, P, S, Se

Select a third color and color all the metals (remember – hydrogen is NOT a metal)

Label the following groups: Alkali metals Alkaline earth metals Halogens Noble Gases Lanthanide Series Actinide Series
