Elements and The Periodic Table

• This is a power point presentation designed to
  help students learn how to identify information
  that is found in a periodic table.

3
Elements and The Periodic Table

• The student will become familiar with the element
  names and its symbol.
• The student will locate an element on the
  periodic table given its atomic number.
• The student will learn how to locate the mass
  number in the periodic table.
• The student will learn how to distinguish between
  the periods and groups in the periodic table.

4
Elements and The Periodic Table

• Components of the periodic table are
• Atomic Name
• Atomic Number
• Mass Number
• Number of protons, neutrons, electrons
• Family Name
• Atomic Symbol

5
Elements and The Periodic Table

• The atomic number of an element is the number
  that is located in the top right hand corner
  above the element symbol. It is the number that
  indicates the number of protons and electrons
  that are present in the elements atom.
• For example Carbons atomic number is 6. So
  therefore it has a total of 6 protons and 6
  electrons.

6
Elements and The Periodic Table

• The mass number is the sum of the of protons
  the of neutrons. Lets look at the element
  carbon.
• (Protons Neutrons Mass Number)
• (6 612)
• So therefore, the mass number of the element
  carbon is 12.

7
Elements and The Periodic Table

• The element with the atomic number 6 and the
  atomic mass 12 is carbon.
• Carbons atomic symbol is C . An atomic symbol
  is an abbreviated symbol used to identify each
  element that is within the periodic table.

8
Elements and The Periodic Table

• Each element within the periodic table belongs to
  a family.
• There are a total of 12 families located on the
  periodic table. They are alkali metals, alkali
  earth metals, inner transition, lanthanides,
  actinides, transition metals, metals, metalloids,
  nonmetals, halogens, noble gases, and
  transactinides.

9
Elements and The Periodic Table

• Each element in the periodic table belongs to
  both a group and a period.
• A group is the vertical column on the periodic
  table. Each group is represented by roman
  numeral. An example of a group on the periodic
  table would be the elements helium, neon, argon,
  krypton, and xenon. These elements make up the
  elements in group 18.

10
Elements and The Periodic Table

• The period of the periodic table is the
  horizontal row on the periodic table. An example
  of a period on the periodic table would be the
  elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon,
  nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon. These
  elements are found in period number 2.

Elements and The Periodic Table

• The period of the periodic table is the
  horizontal row on the periodic table. An example
  of a period on the periodic table would be the
  elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon,
  nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, and neon. These
  elements are found in period number 2.

• Conclusion I would like to thank you for viewing
  my power point presentation. After viewing this
  presentation, I hope that you have developed a
  better understanding on how to investigate and
  locate information concerning atomic elements.
