I am Dmitri Mendeleev!
• Elements are
organized on the
table according to
their atomic
number.
Atomic Number
Wave Model
Atomic Mass
• Poor conductors of
heat and electricity
• Not ductile or
malleable
• Brittle and break
easily
• Dull
• Many non-metals are
gases.
Sulfur
Properties of Metalloids
Silicon
Region: Metals
Group1: Alkalai Metals
• 1 valence
electron
• Very
Reactive
Group 2: Alkaline Earth Metals
• 2 valence
electrons
• Very
reactive,
but less
than alkali
metals
Groups 3 – 12: Transition Metals
• 1-2 valence
electrons
• Less reactive
than alkaline
earth metals
because they
don’t give away
their electrons
as easily
• Bottom 2 row
are the
Lanthanide &
Actinide series
• Lanthanide Series:
– shiny reactive metals
– Most found in nature
• Actinides Series:
– radioactive and
unstable
– Most are man-made &
not stable in nature
Region: Metalloids
Region: Nonmetals
Group 17: Halogens
• 7 valence
electrons
• Very
reactive
• Nonmetals
Group 18: Noble Gases
▪ 8 valence
electrons (except
He which only
has 2)
▪ “Happy” because
their outer
electron shell is
filled!
▪ NON
REACTIVE
(inert)
gases
▪ Nonmetals
