Organisation of the periodic table
• The vertical columns of the table are called groups or families.
Element in the same group have similar but not identical
characteristics
• Numbered from 1 to 18.
• Elements in the same group have the same number of outer shell
electrons, and hence similar chemical properties.
Organisation of the periodic table
• The horizontal rows of the table are called periods.
• Numbered from 1 to 7.
• Each contains elements with electrons in the same outer shell.
The trends of the periodic table
• All elements in the same Group of the Periodic
Table have the same outer shell electron
configuration.

• All elements in the same Period of the Periodic


Table have outer shell electrons filling the same
shell.
Types of elements
• There are three main types of elements: metals, non metals and metalloids
• 1. Metals appear on the left hand side of the zig zag line that separates the periodic
table
• 2. Non metals appear on the right hand side of the zig zag line that separates the
periodic table
• 3. Elements on either side of the zigzag line have properties of both
• metals and non-metals. These elements are called metalloids.

Metals
• Most elements are metals. 88 elements to the left of the stairstep line
are metals or metal like elements.
• Left side of the periodic table
• Positive valencies

Physical Properties of Metals:


• Luster (shininess)
• Good conductors of heat and electricity
• High density (heavy for their size)
• High melting point
• Ductile (most metals can be drawn out into thin wires)
• Malleable (most metals can be hammered into thin sheets)

Chemical Properties of Metals:


• Easily lose electrons
• Corrode easily. Corrosion is a gradual wearing away.
(Example: silver tarnishing and iron rusting)
Non-metals
 Nonmetals are found to the right of the stairstep line. Their
characteristics are opposite those of metals.
Physical Properties of Nonmetals:
 No luster (dull appearance)
 Poor conductor of heat and electricity
 Brittle (breaks easily)
 Not ductile
 Not malleable
 Low density
 Low melting point
Chemical Properties of Nonmetals:
 Tend to gain electrons
 Since metals tend to lose electrons and nonmetals tend to gain
electrons, metals and nonmetals like to form compounds with each
other. These compounds are called ionic compounds. When two or
more nonmetals bond with each other, they form a covalent
compound.

Periodic Table
Groups 1 and 2 Outer shell electrons are in the s subshell (s1
s and s2)

Groups 13 to 18 Outer shell electrons are in the p subshell


p (s2p1 to s2p2)

Transition metals – The d subshell is being progressively filled


d Groups 3 to 12 (d1s2 to d10s2)

Lanthanides and The f subshell is being progressively filled


f Actinides
Atomic properties
• Many properties of atoms depend on the strength of
attraction between the outer shell electrons and the
nucleus
• This attraction will depend on
1. The positive charge that attracts the other shell
electrons
2. The distance of electrons from the nucleus
In groups determine what will happen to each of these properties
across a period and down a group

• Core Charge: The attraction that an outer shell


electron feels towards the nucleus
• Atomic Size: Diameter of an atom
• Ionisation Energy: Minimum amount of energy
required to remove the highest energy electron from
an atom (energy to steal an electron).
• Electronegativity: Measure of the ability of an atom
to attract an electron towards itself. (love of electrons)
Core Charge
What is it?
The attraction that an outer shell
electron feels towards the nucleus.
What happens down a group?
Constant
In the Alkaline metals there is always one electron in the outer shell.
What happens across a period?
Increases; there are more electrons in the outer shell which are greatly attracted
to the nucleus.
Lithium has one electron in its outer shell and this is attracted to the protons in the
nucleus. The outer shell electron does not feel the full attraction of the nucleus
and therefore has a core charge of +1
Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell
What would its core charge be?
Across a period the core charge changes from +1 ,+ 2, +3, +4 etc.
Atomic Size or Radius
What is it?
Diameter of atom
What happens down a group?
Increases
since there is an increase in the number of shells.
What happens across a period?
Decreases
since there is an increase in core charge, the outer shell
electrons are attracted closer to the nucleus (it’s the same
shell but there are more electrons in the shell as you move
across the period)
Atomic radius decreases across a period

Trends in Ionisation energy
The ionization energy is the amount of energy it takes to
detach one electron from a neutral atom
Or How much energy it takes to steal an electron!!
If its easy to steal a electron it has low ionisation energy
If its hard to steal an electron it has a high ionisation energy
The smaller the atom the harder to steal an electron
The larger the atom the easier it is to steal an electron
e
ee e e e e
Ionisation Energy e
What is it?
Amount of energy required to
remove the highest energy electron
from an atom. (or steal one electron)
What happens down a group?
Decreases; since the size of the atom is increasing, the
attraction is weaker between the outer shell electrons
and the nucleus. Therefore electrons are easier to
remove.
What happens across a period?
Increases; since there is an increase in core charge, the
attraction is greater between the outer shell electrons
and the nucleus. Therefore electrons are harder to
remove.
As the period begins it does not take a lot of energy to remove an electron
from Li but as you go across the period it takes more and more energy to take
an electron away

Electronegativity
What is it?
Measure of the ability of an atom to attract an electron
towards itself or love of electrons!
What happens down a group?
Decreases; since the electrons are further from the
nucleus, there is a weaker attraction
What happens across a period?
Increases; since there is an increase in core charge, there
is a greater attraction of the outer shell electrons to the
nucleus.

Reactivity of Metals
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVoJZkmAAfA (Group 1 in water)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2TimLxskZw (Magnesium in water)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSgIr1Wba_g&feature=related (Calcium in water)

Group One (Alkaline Metals) are more reactive than Group 2 (Alkaline Earths)
As you go down a group metals become more reactive
This happens because as you go down a group atoms get larger and metals tend
to donate electrons in reactions.
Reactivity of Non metals
Look at table 3.3 to see which Halogen is most reactive
Reactivity decreases down the group
Why? Think about atomic properties
Non metals tend to form negative ions (they gain electrons from other atoms)
Electronegativity or love of electrons is strongest with Fluorine and decreases
down the group.
Noble Gases
• Found in group 18 (the last
column of the periodic table.)
• Do not react easily with other
elements, as they have a full
outer shell.
