Periodic Table Arrangement

Basic Facts
• Elements are arranged
by increasing atomic
numbers
• Metals, non metals
and metalloids
• Groups and Periods
 Periods
• Also known as rows
• The atomic number increases by one
• Tells the number of shells
• Mass number increases slowly
• Examples: Li, N, Ne
 Groups
• Also known as columns
• Tells the number of electrons in the outermost shell
• Atomic increases by more than one
• Mass goes up by a lot
• Example: Noble gases
 Metals
• Found to the left of the staircase
• They give their valence electrons away
• Conduct heat and electricity, are ductile and malleable
• Have 1, 2 or 3 valence electrons
• Examples: Calcium, Sodium and Aluminum
• Ionic charge is positive
 Non Metals
• Found to the right of the stair case
• They take valence electrons
• They are brittle, dull and no conductivity
• Have 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 valence electrons
• Examples: Sulfur, Carbon and Chlorine
• Ionic charge is negative
 Metalloids
• Found along the stair case (either side of the stair
case)
• Give and take electrons
• Have the properties of both metals and non metals
• Ionic charges can be positive or negative
• Example: Silicon and Arsenic
