The Periodic Table

Describe the Periodic Table
3
Describe the Periodic Table
  • The periodic table is a chemistry reference
  • It arranges all the known elements in an informative grid
4
Describe the Periodic Table

  • Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number
  • This order usually coincides with increasing atomic mass
5
Describe the Periodic Table
  • The Table's pattern and arrangement shows the arrangement of electrons in the atom.
  • Elements have different atomic numbers - the number of protons or electrons increases up the table as electrons fill the shells.


6
Describe the Periodic Table
  • Elements have different atomic masses - the number of protons plus neutrons increases up the table.
  • Rows - elements of each row have the same number of energy levels (shells).
  • Columns - elements have the same number of electrons in the outermost energy level or shell (one to eight).


7
Describe the Periodic Table
  • The different rows of elements are called periods.
    • The period number of an element signifies the highest energy level an electron in that element occupies
  • The different columns of elements are called groups or families
    • Elements in the same family have similar properties

Describe How To Read The Periodic Table

Describe how to read the periodic table:
  • Every table has:
11
Describe how to read the periodic table:
  • Atomic Number
  • The number of protons in an atom identifies the element.
  •    The number of protons in an atom is referred to as the atomic number of that element.
12
Describe how to read the periodic table:
  • Atomic Symbol:
    The atomic symbol is one or two letters chosen to represent an element ("H" for "hydrogen," etc.).
  •  These symbols are used every where in the world
  •   Usually, a symbol is the abbreviation of the element or the abbreviated Latin name of the element.
13
Describe how to read the periodic table:
  • Atomic Mass:
    The atomic mass is the average mass of an element in atomic mass units ("amu").
  •   Though individual atoms always have a whole number of amus, the atomic mass on the periodic table is shown as a decimal number because it is an average of all the isotopes of an element.
