The Periodic Table

Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.
Vertical columns are called groups; horizontal rows are called periods.
The period number indicates the number of electron shells an atom has.
The group number (1–7, plus Group 0) indicates the number of outer-shell electrons.
Group number helps determine the charge of ions: metals lose electrons (positive ions), non-metals gain electrons (negative ions).
For example, Group 1 metals form 1+ ions; Group 7 non-metals form 1− ions.

The Periodic Table: metals, non-metals, metalloids and liquids at room temperature

Periodic Trends in Metallic Character

Metallic character decreases from left to right across a period.
Metallic character increases down a group.
Metals are on the left of the Periodic Table; non-metals on the right.
Elements between metals and non-metals are called metalloids or semi-metals.
Metals have 1–3 outer electrons, form metallic bonds, conduct electricity, and produce basic oxides.
Non-metals have 4–7 outer electrons, form covalent bonds, are poor conductors, and produce acidic oxides.

The metal/non-metal divide, with basic and acidic oxide regions

Electronic Configuration and Position

Electronic configuration (e.g., 2,4 for carbon) shows the number of electrons in each shell.
The number of notations (shells) equals the period number.
The last notation (outer electrons) equals the group number.
Elements in the same group have the same number of outer electrons and similar chemical properties.
For example, lithium (2,1) and sodium (2,8,1) are both in Group 1 and react similarly.

Trends in Reactivity: Group 1 Metals (Extended)

Reactivity of Group 1 metals increases down the group.
Lithium reacts slowly with water, fizzing and moving on the surface.
Sodium reacts more vigorously, moving rapidly and dissolving quickly.
Potassium reacts even more vigorously, burning with a lilac flame.
Rubidium and caesium react explosively; francium is too reactive to predict.
The trend can be used to predict properties of other elements in the group.
