Editor's Notes
How is it organized? By atomic number
What are groups? Vertical rows
What are periods? Horizontal rows
What are families? That’s what this PowerPoint will cover
Group 1A called Alkalai Metals
Found on the very left side of table
Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
Very reactive metals, soft enough to be cut with a knife
Group 2A Alkaline Earth Metals
Found on the left side of the table next to the alkalai metals
Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
Not as reactive as Alkalai metals in group 1A
Found in the middle of the periodic table
Play important role in living organisms
Metals that are valuable as strong, structural materials
Also called Inner Transition metals
Lanthanides: soft, silvery metals and less reactive than alkaline earth metals
Actinides: all radioactive
Explain why they are found at the bottom of the table.
Also called semi-metals
Have some properties of metals and some properties of non-metals
Group 7A called halogens
Fl, Cl, Br, I, At
Very reactive due to strong attraction to electron
Halogen means salt former
Group 8A Noble gases
Located at the far right of the table
He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn
Least reactive
