2Each element has its own symbol that begins with
a capital letter. Any other letters in the
symbol are lower case.

8Its New, Its Canned, Its Poisoned
This old tin can was full of potatoes and was
part of the food supply on Sir John Franklin's
ships. Many of these tin cans, discarded by the
sailors, have been found on Beechey Island. In
those days, cans were just starting to be used as
a means of preserving food. People did not
understand that the lead from the solder seam
would give a person lead poisoning and could kill
them. It is believed that many of the men of the
Franklin Expedition died in this way.
9Mendeleev
- In 1869, Dmitri Mendeléev created the first
version of the periodic table. - He arranged the elements in order of increasing
atomic mass and grouped them by similarity of
properties. - This allowed him to predict the properties of new
elements.

16Henry Moseley
- Developed method of measuring the atomic number
of elements. - The Modern Periodic Table is organized by
increasing atomic number. - Predicted the existence of elements 43, 61, 72,
and 75.
17Gallipoli
18Moseley
- At the age of 27, having volunteered to serve in
the British Army in WWI, Moseley was killed by a
sniper. - When WWI started, he volunteered for active duty
and became an officer in the signal corps. At the
time of his death, he was the most promising
physicist of his time. Even a newspaper in
Germany (the enemy of Britain in the war) printed
the headline Ein schwerer Verlust (A heavy
lossfor science) when he died in Gallipoli. - It is speculated that because of Moseley's death
in the War that the British and other world
governments began a policy of no longer allowing
their scientists to enlist for combat. - Many speculated that he should have won the Nobel
Prize, but was unable to because it is only
awarded to the living.

sniper at Gallipoli. - When WWI started, he volunteered for active duty.

21Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids
- The periodic table can be used to determine the
metallic/nonmetallic nature of an element.
22Metals, Nonmetals, Metalloids
23Groups and Periods
- The vertical columns in the periodic table are
called groups. - Rows in the periodic table are termed periods.
- Elements with similar properties within the
periodic table are grouped into a family.
24Families on the Periodic Table
- Columns in the periodic table can be grouped into
families. - Families may be one column, or several columns
put together. - Families have names rather than numbers. (Just
like your family has a common last name.)

28Alkali Metals
29Alkali Metals
- 1st column on the periodic table (Group 1) not
including hydrogen. - Most reactive family of metals, always combined
with something else in nature (table salt). - Low density metals (Li, Na and K are less dense
than water). - that are soft enough to cut with a knife.

31Alkaline Earth Metals
Ca
32Alkaline Earth Metals
- Second column on the periodic table. (Group 2)
- Second most reactive family of metals, always
combined with nonmetals in nature. - All of the alkaline earth metals are found in
compound form within the earth's crust. - Several of these elements are important mineral
nutrients (such as Mg and Ca).
33Calcium and Magnesium Two Important Minerals
34Magnesium Calcium are essential minerals for
your health
- Calcium Found primarily in dairy foods such as
milk, cheese and yogurt. Your bones eagerly
absorb and store calcium necessary for your
body's growth and maintenance until you reach
your mid 20's. After that, your body rapidly uses
up the calcium to help keep your bones strong.
Failure to get enough calcium can lead to
osteoporosis (holes in the bones), brittle and
easily breakable bones, and tooth loss. - Magnesium Magnesium is one of the most important
minerals your body needs, and fortunately, it can
be found in many of the foods we eat, including
many fruits, vegetables and dairy products.
Failure to get enough magnesium can lead to
muscle soreness, heart and blood pressure
problems, as well as nervous disorders.
35Magnesium Keeps the Doctor at Bay
By W. Gifford-Jones, M.D. Special to The Epoch Times Apr 24, 2006
Recen
tly, a healthy 18-year-old basketball player and
health-conscious jogger died suddenly. The
initial diagnosis was death from coronary artery
disease due to high blood cholesterol. But the
cause of death eventually proved to be magnesium
deficiency.

37Transition Metals
- Elements in groups 3-12
- Less reactive harder metals
- Includes metals used in jewelry and construction.
- Metals used as metal.
38Less reactive but can still react
Iron (Fe) Rust (Fe2O3)

40Oxygen Family or Chalcogens
41Oxygen Family or Chalcogens
- Elements in group 16
- Oxygen is the most abundant element on earth and
its ability to react with almost anything is
what drives the process of life. - Sulfur and compounds containing it smell horrible
(rotten eggs, garlic, skunks, etc.). - That is why many traditions fill their hell with
sulfur. The historical name of sulfur is
brimstone.

43Halogens
- Elements in group 17
- Most reactive of the nonmetals.
- Always found combined with other elements in
nature. - Have a strong unpleasant odor and are poisonous
(have been used as chemical weapons). - In low doses can be used as disinfectants
(chlorine in drinking water and in pools).

45The Noble Gases
- Elements in group 18
- All are gases.
- Have a full outer energy level.
- VERY non-reactive. They are noble (they dont
mix with the riff-raff). - Are used to surround materials that we want to
prevent from reacting.
46The Octet Rule
- The octet rule states that an atom's outer energy
level is full and most stable when it contains
eight electrons. - This stability is the reason that the noble gases
are so non-reactive. - All noble gases other than helium follow the
octet rule.
47Exception to the Octet RuleThe Duet Rule
- The first energy level can only hold two
electrons. - Elements such as Hydrogen and Helium that only
have one energy level follow a duet rule. - The duet rule states that two electrons will
stabilize an atom with only one energy level.
48Rare Earth Elements
- The thirty rare earth elements are composed of
the lanthanide and actinide series. - The rare earth elements are metals and many are
not truly rare. It was only hard to isolate them
until recently . - Uranium (element 92) is the last of the naturally
occurring elements. - Elements beyond uranium are synthetic
(man-made). Synthetic elements only occur on
Earth as the product of atomic bombs or
experiments that involve nuclear reactors or
particle accelerators.
