Reading the Modern Periodic Table Our modern day periodic table is expanded beyond Mendeleev's initial 63 elements. Most of the current periodic tables include or elements. It is also important to notice how the modern periodic table is arranged.

Although we have retained the format of rows and columns, which reflects a natural order, the rows of today's tables show elements in the order of Mendeleev's columns. In other words the elements of what we now call a "period" were listed vertically by Mendeleev. Chemical "groups" are now shown vertically in contrast to their horizontal format in Mendeleev's table. Note also that Mendeleev's arrangement was related to the atomic ratios in which elements formed oxides, binary compounds with oxygen; whereas today's periodic tables are arranged by increasing atomic numbers, that is, the number of protons a particular element contains.

Although we can imply the formulas for oxides from today's periodic table, it is not explicitly stated as it was in Mendeleev's table. The oxides ratio column was not shown in earlier Mendeleev versions. Can you think of a reason why not? Groups The modern periodic table of the elements contains 18 groups, or vertical columns.

Elements in a group have similar chemical and physical properties because they have the same number of outer electrons. Elements in a group are like members of a family--each is different, but all are related by common characteristics. Notice that each group is titled with Roman numerals and the letters A and B. Scientists in the United States and Europe now use different titles to refer to the same groups. To avoid confusion, the Roman numerals and letters designating groups will eventually be replaced by the numerals from one to eighteen.

Along a period, a gradual change in chemical properties occurs from one element to another. For example, metallic properties decrease and nonmetallic properties increase as you go from left to right across a period.

Changes in the properties occur because the number of protons and electrons increases from left to right across a period or row. The increase in number of electrons is important because the outer electrons determine the element's chemical properties. The periodic table consists of seven periods. The periods vary in length. The first period is very short and contains only 2 elements, hydrogen and helium. The next two periods contain eight elements each.

Periods four and five each have 18 elements. The sixth period has 32 elements. The last period is not complete yet because new exotic or man- made elements are still being made in laboratories.

Classification of General Properties The general properties of elements allow them to be divided into three classifications: metals, nonmetals and metalloids.

The distribution of metals is shown in your periodic table as boxes colored yellow, purple and two shades of blue. Metalloid elements are in the diagonal boxes colored pink and nonmetal elements are above the diagonal line to the right of the metalloids, in boxes colored green, gold, and red. Notice that hydrogen's box is colored green, even though it is at the top of a group of metals. Many metals are easily recognized by non-chemists. Common examples are copper, lead, silver and gold.

In general, metals have a luster, are quite dense, and are good conductors of heat and electricity. They tend to be soft, malleable and ductile meaning that they are easily shaped and can be drawn into fine wires without breaking. All of these properties are directly related to the fact that solid metals are crystals formed from positive ions surrounded by mobile electrons.

This mobility allows electrons to absorb and reflect light in many wavelengths, giving the metals their typical luster. It also permits electrons to absorb thermal and electrical energy from the environment or neighboring electrons and transfer this energy to other electrons; in this way, heat and electricity can be conducted throughout the metal. These mobile electrons hold the positive metallic ions so tightly that even when the metal sample is only a few layers thick, as in gold foil, the sample stays intact.

So, the density, malleability, and ductility of metals are also due to electron mobility. The difference in the coloring on the periodic table indicates that the most metallic elements are those on the left side of the table.

The Group I Alkali Metals and the Group II Alkaline Earths have more metallic characteristics than elements farther right whose square are colored blue, especially those that border on the metalloid elements. Generally speaking, the most metallic metals are in the bottom left corner. As you move toward the upper right on the periodic table, elements become less metallic in property. Alkali Metals The alkali IA metals show a closer relationship in their properties than do any other family of elements in the periodic table.

Alkali metals are so chemically reactive that they are never found in the element form in nature. All these metals react spontaneously with gases in the air, so they must be kept immersed in oil in the storeroom. They are so soft that they can be cut with an ordinary table knife, revealing a very "buttery", silvery metal surface that immediately turns dull as it reacts with water vapor and oxygen in the air. The chemical reactivity of alkali metals increases as the atomic number increases. They react with other nonmetals, albeit more slowly, forming compounds that are very stable.

They also react with acids, forming hydrogen gas and salts; with water they form hydrogen gas and metallic hydroxides, which are sometimes called bases.

They react with hydrogen to form metallic hydrides, which form strong bases in water. In all these reactions, the metals form ionic compounds, in which each metal atom loses one electron to form a positively-charged ion or cation.

All compounds of alkali metals are soluble in water. So, you can have your color and still read tiny numbers. This black and white printable periodic table is specially designed for middle school or high school use. It includes electron configurations, oxidation states, groups, periods, and more.

The zig-zag line separates the metals from the nonmetals. Numbers of groups and periods are provided for your convenience. This free periodic table is color-coded to indicate the electronegativity of an atom of an element. Use the table to write the names of compounds and to predict chemical reactions.

In the Periodic Table, the structured classification of the elements has helped chemists to study and understand the properties of the elements and their compounds more systematically and orderly. If the position of an element is known, It becomes easier to remember the properties of an element. The metals, non-metals, transition metals, gases are separately placed in a particular location with a specific identity in the modern periodic table.

The classification of elements is colour on the atomic number, which is a more basic property. Many scientists have contributed their priceless efforts to systematically arrange the elements in a table.

This lead to the development of the Periodic Table that we use today. The periodic table classification has been done with mainly four types of elements. The elements present in the modern periodic table are :. The noble gases: a group of rare gases that consist of helium, radon, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon. The main transition element: Electrons that can engage in chemical bond formation in two shells instead of just one shell. When Glenn T. Seaborg was working on the Manhattan project he hypothesized that additions needed to be made to the periodic table.

In , he published a paper in which he said that actinide series of elements should be placed below the lanthanide series. However, at that time scientist rejected his suggestion but later research proved he was right. Since the s, scientists discovered he elements that are numbered Some of them were officially recognized in They were placed at the seventh row off the table.

Only few people know about these elements because they are unstable and decay rapidly. Periodic table consists of cells and each cell represents an element. Rows and columns are called periods and groups.

The elements that have identical chemical characteristics are assigned a group name and colored the same color. In the periodic table, there are four blocks.

Each block contains different groups, listed below;. Each cell includes different pieces of information.
