    The Periodic Table of Elements

    Uploaded by

    The document summarizes the periodic table of elements and key properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, are shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals are on the right side, are dull, brittle, and poor conductors. Metalloids exhibit some properties of both and are found along the zigzag line separating metals and nonmetals. The periodic table organizes elements by atomic structure and properties.

    The Periodic Table of Elements

    Elements
     Science has come
    along way since
    Aristotle’s theory of Air,
    Water, Fire, and Earth.
     Scientists have
    identified 92 Natural
    elements, and created
    about 28 others.
    Elements
    The elements, alone or in
    combinations, make
    up our bodies, our
    world, our sun, and in
    fact, the entire
    universe.
    Periodic Table

     A great deal of information about an element can be gathered from its


    position on the period table.
     Understanding the organization and plan of the periodic table will help
    you obtain basic information about each of the 118 known elements.
    Periodic Table
    Metals
    Properties of Metals
    Metals appear to the left of the dark ziz-zag line on the
    periodic table. Most metals are solid at room temperature.
    Properties of Metals
    Metals have luster.
    This means they are
    shiny
    Properties of Metals
    Ductile
    metals can be drawn
    into wire.
    Properties of Metals
    Malleable
    metals can be
    hammered into
    sheets
    Properties of Metals

    Metals have a high melting point. They are also


    very dense.
    Properties of Metals
    Conductors
    Metals are good
    conductors of
    electricity and
    heat
    Properties of Metals
    A chemical property of
    metal is its reaction
    with water and
    oxygen. This results
    in corrosion and
    rust.
    Nonmetals
    Properties of Nonmetals

    Nonmetals occur to the right of the dark zig-zag on the


    periodic table. Although Hydrogen is in family 1, it is also a
    nonmetal. Many nonmetals are gases at room temperature.
    Properties of Nonmetals

    Nonmetals do not
    have luster; they
    are dull.
    Properties of Nonmetals
    Brittle
    Nonmetals are brittle
    so they break
    easily. This means
    nonmetals ARE
    NOT ductile or
    malleable.
    Properties of Nonmetals

    Nonmetals have
    low density.
    Properties of Nonmetals

    They also have a low


    melting point. This
    is why they are poor
    conductors of heat
    and electricity.
    Metalloids
    Properties of Metalloids

    Metalloids can be found clustered around the dark zig-


    zag line that separates metals and nonmetals.
    Properties of Metalloids
    Metalloids (metal-like)
    have properties of
    both metals and
    nonmetals.
    Properties of Metalloids

    Metalloids are solids that


    can be shiny or
    dull.
    Properties of Metalloids
    They conduct
    electricity and
    heat better than
    nonmetals but not as
    well as metals.
    Properties of Metalloids

    Metalloids are
    malleable and
    ductile
    Families
     Families in the periodic table share
    chemical properties because all elements in
    a family have the same number of valence
    electrons
     This means that all elements in a family
    bond with other atoms in a similar way.
    Properties of Metals
    Most metals have
    3 or less
    valence
    electrons and
    therefore are
    likely to lose
    these electrons
    in chemical
    bonds.
    Properties of Nonmetals
    Nonmetals have 5 or more valence electrons and
    therefore usually gain electrons in chemical bonds.
