CREATED BY DMITRI MENDELEEV
WHAT IS THE PERIODIC TABLE?
oShows all known elements in the universe.
oOrganizes the elements by chemical properties.
HOW DO YOU READ THE PERIODIC TABLE?
WHAT IS THE ATOMIC NUMBER?
oThe number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom
Or
oThe number of electrons surrounding the nucleus of an atom.
WHAT IS THE SYMBOL?
oAn abbreviation of the element name.
WHAT IS THE ATOMIC WEIGHT?
oThe number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
HOW DO I FIND THE NUMBER OF PROTONS, ELECTRONS, AND NEUTRONS IN AN ELEMENT USING THE PERIODIC TABLE?
o # of PROTONS = ATOMIC NUMBER
o # of ELECTRONS = ATOMIC NUMBER
o # of NEUTRONS = ATOMIC _ ATOMIC
WEIGHT NUMBER
ELEMENTS, COMPOUNDS, AND MIXTURES
WHAT IS AN ELEMENT?
oA substance composed of a single kind of atom.
oCannot be broken down into another substance by chemical or physical means.
WHAT IS A COMPOUND?
oA substance in which two or more different elements are CHEMICALLY bonded together.
WHAT IS A MIXTURE?
oTwo or more substances that are mixed together but are NOT chemically bonded.

Periods:
Are arranged horizontally across the periodic table (rows 1-7). These elements have the same number of valence shells.

Family:
Are arranged vertically down the periodic table (columns or group, 1- 18 or 1-8 A,B). These elements have the same number electrons in the outer most shells, the valence shell.

ATOMIC RADIUSAtomic Radius:
The size of at atomic specie as determine by the boundaries of the valence e-. Largest atomic species are those found in the SW corner since these atoms have the largest n, but the smallest Zeff.
IONIZATION POTENTIALIonization potential:
The energy required to remove
the valence electron from an
atomic specie. Largest toward NE
corner of PT since these atoms
hold on to their valence e- the
tightest.
ELECTRON AFFINITY
Electron Affinity:
The energy
release when an
electron is added
to an atom. Most
favorable toward
NE corner of PT
since these atoms
have a great
affinity for e-.

Periodic Table: Map of the Building block of matter
Type: Metal, metalloid and Nonmetal
Groupings: Representative or main, transition and Lanthanide/Actanides
Family: Elements in the same column have similar chemical property because of similar valence electrons
Alkali, Alkaline, chalcogens, halogens, noble gases
Period: Elements in the same row have valence electrons in the same shell.
