3. Review

4. What are periods?
I. Periods: rows (left to right)

5. What are groups?
I. Groups: columns (top to bottom)

6. What are groups
A. Similar properties because same number of
valence electrons
1. Elements of the same group have the same
chemical properties
i. They have the same number of valence electrons
ii. Valence electrons determine reactive properties

7. Groups
2. Easy trick: look at the group number
i. Lithium (Li) is in Group 1 = 1 valence electron
ii. Oxygen (O) is in Group 16 = 6 valence electrons

8. B. Special Metal Groups
1. Alkali metals: Group 1
i. 1 valence electron
ii. Example: sodium (Na)
iii. Soft, white and extremely reactive

9. Alkali Metals

10. B. Special Metal Groups
2. Alkaline earth metals: Group 2
i. 2 valence electrons
ii. Example: magnesium (Mg)

11. Alkaline Earth Metals

12. B. Special Metal Groups
3. Transition metals: Groups 3-12
i. Varying numbers of valence electrons
ii. Example: iron (Fe)

13. Transition Metals

14. C. Special Nonmetal Groups
1. Halogens: Group 17
i. 7 valence electrons
ii. Example: fluorine (F)

15. Halogens

16. C. Special Nonmetal Groups
1. Noble gases: Group 18
i. 8 valence electrons
ii. Example: neon (N)

17. Noble Gases
