  • 3rd side (hint)
Made up of the alkali metals.
IA
In reactions, these elements all tend to lose a single electron.
IA
This family contains some important elements, such as Na and K, which play an important role in the chemistry of the body and are commonly found in salts.
IA
Made up of the alkaline earth metals.
IIA
All of these elements tend to lose two electrons.
IIA
Ca is an important member of this family.
IIA
This family is made up of the halogens.
VIIA
Members of this family tend to gain a single electron in reactions.
VIIA
Important members of this family include Cl, used in making table salt and bleach, and I,. (Tincture of Iodine is used as a disinfectant.)
VIIA
This family is made up of the Noble Gases.
VIIIA
Members of this family are VERY unreactive.
VIIIA
For a long time, this family was called the inert gases because people thought these elements wouldn't react at all.
VIIIA
A scientist named Neil Bartlett showed that at least some members of this family could be reacted, but only under very special circumstances.
VIIIA
Members of this group include: Li, Na, K, Rb (Rubidium), Cs (Cesium), and Fr (Francium).
IA
Members of this group include: Be (Berylium), Mg, Ca, Sr (Strontium), Ba (Barium), and Ra (Radium).
IIA
Members of this group include: F, Cl, Br (Bromine), I, At (Astatine).
VIIA
Members of this group include: He, Ne (Neon), Ar (Argon), Kr (Krypton), Xe (Xenon), and Rn (Radon).
VIIIA
The 7 horizontal rows of elements are called:
periods.
Atomic #s increase from:
left to right.
Members of a (period or family) have chemical propeties that are similar.
family
Electron configuration show that some similarities amoung each group (family) of elements are in terms of their:
valence electrons.`
Valence electrons are the s and p electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom.
All elements in IA group have one valence electron in the ___ orbital.
s
The IIA elementseach have ____ valence electrons in the ___ orbital.
2, s
The elements of VIIA each have 7 valence electrons in which orbitals?
s and p orbitals
d orbitals DON"T COUNT
Members of VIIIA each have 8 valence electrons, making their valence orbitals:
filled.
Easy way to remember the # of valence electrons in each family?
IA has 1
IIA has 2
VIIA has 7
VIIIA has 8
Why are the members of VIIIA extremely hard to react?
Because their valence (outermost) energy level is full.
They are stable (satisfied) with a filled (complete) valence energy level.

They don't easily lose, gain, or share electrons.
Which family satisfies the octet rule?
VIIIA
What is the driving force in chemical bonding?
Achieving stability by having a filled valence shell.
Elements found in the middle of the periodic table, labeled with a Roman numeral and a "B", are commonly called:
the transition metals.
These elements are progressively filling the d orbital.
Transitional metals.
The progressively added electrons fill the d orbitals.

The number of electrons in the s and p orbitals are not changing.
Name the two groups of elements that are not in the main body of the periodic table?
Lanthanides and Actinides
Clasified as the Inner Transition Metals.

Progressively filling the f orbitals much the same way that the electrons of the transition metals fill the d orbitals.
The Lanthanide and Actinide groups of elments are called:
Inner Transition Metals
