  • Who's Periodic Table had gaps in it/undiscovered elements?
    Dmitri Mendeleev a Russian chemist and inventor
  • Fill in the gaps
    All elements in the same column (group) of the periodic table have similar chemical properties and a trend in physical properties.
  • Fill in the gaps
    There are over 100 elements arranged in column (groups) and rows (periods).
  • How many atoms is an element made up of?
    One kind of atom
  • Elements:
    ~ Are the simplest substances
    ~ Are made up of only one type of atom
    ~ Cannot be broken down into anything simpler.
  • What is it?
    Element
  • What is it?
    Compound
  • What is it?
    Mixture
  • What is a compound?
    ~ Made up of two or more types of atoms (elements) joined together by chemical bonds.
    ~ It may contain any number of atoms of the same element, but at least one of a different element.
    ~ It is generally difficult to separate the elements in a compound, most of the time involving chemical reactions.
  • What is a mixture?
    ~ Two or more elements or compounds that are mixed together but not chemically bonded.
    ~ They are generally easy to separate using separation techniques.
  • Scientists at first thought that everything was made up of 4 elements, what were they?

    Earth, Air, Water, and Fire
  • When was the first modern periodic table made?

    In 1869 by Dmitri Mendeleev.
  • What groups is the periodic table made up of?
    Noble Gases, Metalloids, Halogens, Lanthanides, Reactive non-metals, Post-transition/basic metals, Alkali Earth Metals, Actinides, Transition metals, and Alkali metals
  • How many letters are in a symbol?

    Mostly one or two (three in rare cases)
  • Are the symbols capital or lowercase?

    If only one letter, it is capital
    If two letters, the first one is capital and the second is lowercase
  • Do Metals and Non-Metals conduct electricity and heat?

    Metals conduct electricity and heat
    Non-metals conduct heat and electricity
    Only carbon in the form of graphite conducts electricity
  • How many elements are natural and how many are man-made?

    Under 100 elements are found naturally in the universe
    About 20 elements are man-made by scientists in a lab
  • What is the two-way arrangement of the periodic table?

    Vertical columns called groups, contain elements with similar chemical properties.
    Horizontal rows, called periods, contain elements with the same number of shells
  • Name all the Alkali Metals (Group 1)

    Lithium (Li)
    Sodium (Na)
    Potassium (K)
    Rubidium (Rb)
    Caesium (Cs)
    Francium (Fr)
  • Reaction with oxygen: Alkali Metal + Oxygen ->
    Alkali metal oxide
  • Reaction with a Halogen: Alkali Metals + Halogen ->

    Alkali metal halide
  • Reaction with water: Alkali Metal + Water ->
    Alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen
  • Alkali Metals - Chemical Trends

    The reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group - as atoms become bigger, outer electron is further away from nucleus, being easier to remove.
  • Alkali Metals - Physical Trends

    The melting point of Alkali Metals decrease going down the group
  • A use for Lithium
    Batteries
  • A use for Sodium
    Table Salt
  • A use for Potassium
    Detergents
  • A use for Rubidium
    Vaccum Tubes
  • A use for Caesium
    Propellant for spacerafts
  • A use for Francium
    Scientific research
  • What group has the most reactive non-metals?
    Halogens - group 7
  • Name all the Halogens
    Fluorine (F)
    Chlorine (Cl)
    Bromine (Br)
    Iodine (I)
  • Halogens - Chemical Trend

    The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group - fluorine is the most reactive halogen. As the atom becomes bigger, it is more difficult to make it take one electron.
  • Halogens - Phycial Trend

    The melting and boiling points increase down the group - fluorine and chlorine are gases, and bromine is the only liquid non-metal and iodine is a solid
  • A use for Fluorine
    Toothpaste
  • A use for Chlorine
    Bleach
  • A use for Bromine
    Fire retarent materials
  • A use for Iodine
    Disinfectants
  • What group is Noble Gases?

    Group 0 or Group 8
  • What are the Nobles Gases (Group 0 or 8)

    Helium (He)
    Neon (Ne)
    Argon (Ar)
    Krypton (Kr)
    Xenon (Xe)
    Radon (Rn)
