the boxes Atomic Number = # of Protons Negative charge *Only on the Periodic Table doe the Atomic Number also represent the # of Electrons which have a negative charge.
Atomic Mass = # of protons and the # of
Neutrons which have a neutral charge.
Order of Elements on the Periodic
Table Nonmetals
(except Hydrogen) are found on the
right side of the Periodic Table.
Metals
are found in the middle and the left
side. The
stair step separates the metals from the
nonmetals. Metalloids touch the stair step. They have properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Groups in the Periodic Table
Group 1: The Alkali Metals They are the most reactive metals on the Periodic Table They are less dense than other metals on the Periodic Table Density = the ratio (relationship) of mass to volume of a substance.
Groups in the Periodic Table
Group 2: the Alkaline Earth Metals They are the 2nd most reactive metals on the Periodic Table. They are more dense than Group 1: alkali metals
Groups in the Periodic Table
Groups 3 12: The Transition Metals Most are very hard, solid metals. They have high melting and boiling points. They conduct electricity. Malleable = Able to be bent
Groups in the Periodic Table
Groups 13 16: the Metalloid Family Properties of both metals and nonmetals. Make good semiconductors; good for electric circuits.
Groups in the Periodic Table
Groups 13 16: the Metalloid Family Properties of both metals and nonmetals. Make good semiconductors; good for electric circuits. Groups 14-16 (Parts): Nonmetal Family Not good conductors of electricity or heat.
Groups in the Periodic Table
Group 17: Halogen Family Most reactive non-metals on the periodic table. Bonds well with alkali metals. Group 18: Noble Gases Low boiling point Inert = non reactive
