The periodic table

Identify the Element in 20 seconds

100

I have 19 protons

Potassium

200

I have an atomic mass of 12

Carbon

300

I am in group 2 Period 3

Magnesium

400

I am the smallest atom that has 8 electrons in my outer shell

Ne

500

I have 118 Neutrons

Gold

Periodic Groups

100

Why are groups also often called families?

Elements in the same column tend to have similar properties

200

I am another name for a column on the periodic table

Groups or families

300

I am 2 properties of alkali metals

very reactive, they conduct electricity, they are malleable, they are softer, they have 1 valence electron

400

I am 2 properties of halogens

Very reactive, Non-metals, have 7 electrons in outer shells

500

I am the largest family in the periodic table

Transition metals

Reactivity

100

What do all atoms want? (think about their shells)

Full outer shells. (8 valence electrons)

200

Noble gases do not react because...

They already have full outer shells

300

Alkali metals are very reactive because

They only need to lose 1 electron in order to have a full outer shell

400

Halogens are super reactive because

They only need to gain one electron in order to have a full outer shell

500

Transition metals are extremely conductive because...

They have unfilled inner rings
