Why is the Periodic table So important in science?
(1) I can identify trends in ionization energy, electronegativity, and the relative size of atoms and ions
(2) I can identify the different parts of the periodic table: metals, non-metals, metalloids, transition metals, inner transition metals, representative elements, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble gases, lanthanide and actinide series.
(3) I can predict relative sizes of neutral atoms in comparison to their ions

Key ideas
The Periodic table is a very important tool in science
tells us….
(1) charges of atoms when they become ions
(2) number of valence electrons
(3) structure of atoms
(4) reactivity
(5) properties.
Needed to organize the known elements
Key Person
Dimitri Mendeleev, 1869 (63 elements)
Russian scientist
Organize known elements according to their increasing atomic mass & chemical/physical properties
Problem? Ar vs K Te vs I Co vs Ni
Modern Periodic Table
Henry Moseley: a student of Ernest Rutherford
Names of Families 1A alkali metals Soft (cut with a knife) Reacts violently in water Top to bottom more violent Creates a basic solution: pH above 7 & has a slippery or slimy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTFBXJ3Zd_4 Na video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNyTba-AKjA alkali metals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEC64Bqeajs Na toilet Cesium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPk1hKLRyeE
General Set-Up
How many electrons does lithium have?, Boron? Oxygen? Potassium? Aluminum? Sulfur?
The most important electrons of an atom is it’s outer most electrons, called VALENCE electrons.
Focus on the valence electrons b/c…
1) they are responsible for the element’s properties (bonding)
2) the first substances that interact during a reaction.
