THE PERIODIC TABLE

OF ELEMENTS

A CHART THAT ORGANIZES THE


ELEMENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR
ATOMIC NUMBER
PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS
The periodic table is
the most useful tool to
a chemist.
It organizes lots of
information about all
the known elements.

PERIODIC TABLE

 The periodic table organizes the elements in a particular way.


A great deal of information about an element can be gathered
from its position in the period table.
 For example, you can predict with reasonably good accuracy
the physical and chemical properties of the element. You can
also predict what other elements a particular element will
react with chemically.
 Understanding the organization and plan of the periodic table
will help you obtain basic information about each of the 118
known elements.
COMMON ELEMENTS AND SYMBOLS
PROPERTIES OF METALS

 Metals are good conductors of


heat and electricity.
 Metals are shiny.
 Metals are ductile (can be
stretched into thin wires).
 Metals are malleable (can be
pounded into thin sheets).
 A chemical property of metal is
its reaction with water which
results in corrosion.
PROPERTIES OF NON-METALS

 Non-metals are poor


conductors of heat and
electricity.
 Non-metals are not ductile
or malleable.
 Solid non-metals are
brittle and break easily.
 They are dull.
 Many non-metals are
gases.
Sulfur
PROPERTIES OF METALLOIDS

 Metalloids (metal-like) have


properties of both metals and
non-metals.
 They are solids that can be
shiny or dull.
 They conduct heat and
electricity better than non-
metals but not as well as
metals.
 They are ductile and
malleable.

TRANSITION ELEMENTS

 Transition elements have properties similar to one another and to other metals,
but their properties do not fit in with those of any other family.
 Many transition metals combine chemically with oxygen to form compounds
called oxides.
