Periodic Table
 The periodic table organizes the elements in a
particular way. A great deal of information about an
element can be gathered from its position in the
period table.
 For example, you can predict with reasonably good
accuracy the physical and chemical properties of
the element. You can also predict what other
elements a particular element will react with
chemically.
 Understanding the organization and plan of the
periodic table will help you obtain basic information
about each of the 118 known elements.
Key to the Periodic Table
 Elements are organized on
the table according to their
atomic number, usually
found near the top of the
square.
 The atomic number
refers to how many
protons an atom of that
element has.
 For instance, hydrogen
has 1 proton, so it’s
atomic number is 1.
 The atomic number is
unique to that element.
No two elements have
the same atomic number.
What’s in a square?
 Different periodic
tables can include
various bits of
information, but
usually:
 atomic number
 symbol
 atomic mass
 number of valence
electrons
 state of matter at room
temperature.
Atomic Number
 This refers to how
many protons an
atom of that
element has.
 No two elements,
have the same
number of protons.

Atomic Mass
 Atomic Mass refers
to the “weight” of
the atom.
 It is derived at by
adding the number
of protons with the
number of This is a helium atom. Its atomic
Hmass is 4 (protons plus neutrons).
neutrons.
What is its atomic number?
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)
 The unit of
measurement for
an atom is an AMU.
It stands for atomic
mass unit.
 One AMU is equal
to the mass of one
proton.
Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)
 There are
6 X 1023 or
600,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000 amus in
one gram.
 (Remember that
electrons are 2000
times smaller than
one amu).
Symbols
 All elements have

their own unique
symbol.
It can consist of a

and one or two
lower case letters.

Properties of Metals
 Metals are good conductors
of heat and electricity.
 Metals are shiny.
 Metals are ductile (can be
stretched into thin wires).
 Metals are malleable (can
be pounded into thin
sheets).
 A chemical property of
metal is its reaction with
water which results in
corrosion.
Properties of Non-Metals
 Non-metals are poor
conductors of heat and
electricity.
 Non-metals are not
ductile or malleable.
 Solid non-metals are
brittle and break
easily.
 They are dull.
 Many non-metals are
gases.
Sulfur
Properties of Metalloids
 Metalloids (metal-like)
have properties of both
metals and non-metals.
 They are solids that can
be shiny or dull.
 They conduct heat and
electricity better than non-
metals but not as well as
metals.
 They are ductile and
malleable.

Mendeleev
 In 1869, Dmitri Ivanovitch
Mendeléev created the first accepted
version of the periodic table.
 He grouped elements according to
their atomic mass, and as he did, he
found that the families had similar
chemical properties. 
 Blank spaces were left open to add
the new elements he predicted
would occur.
