![]() It is important to recognize which numbering system is being used and to be able to find the number of valence electrons in the main block elements regardless of which numbering system is being used. You will come across periodic tables with both numbering systems. In this numbering system, group 1A is group 1 group 2A is group 2 the halogens (7A) are group 17 and the noble gases (8A) are group 18. ![]() The elements in this group are also gases at room temperature.Īn alternate numbering system numbers all of the \(s\), \(p\), and \(d\) block elements from 1-18. We will learn the reason for this later, when we discuss how compounds form. These elements also have similar properties to each other, the most significant property being that they are extremely unreactive, rarely forming compounds. This group contains very reactive nonmetal elements. Group 7A (or 17) elements are also called halogens. The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. It is important to recognize a couple of other important groups on the periodic table by their group name. Remember, Mendeleev arranged the table so that elements with the most similar properties were in the same group on the periodic table. The same pattern is true of other groups on the periodic table. Once again, because of their similarities in electron configurations, these elements have similar properties to each other. Group 2A is also called the alkaline earth metals. Although most metals tend to be very hard, these metals are actually soft and can be easily cut. Group 1A is also known as the alkali metals. Because of their similarities in their chemical properties, Mendeleev put these elements into the same group. The elements in 1A are all very reactive and form compounds in the same ratios with similar properties with other elements. This is what causes these elements to react in the same ways as the other members of the family. All of the 1A elements have one valence electron. ![]() A group is a vertical column of the periodic table. Remember that Mendeleev arranged the periodic table so that elements with the most similar properties were placed in the same group. Note that each of these entries corresponds to one of the twelve periods respectively.\) Group six (R H superscript two, R 0 superscript three) contains the following information: (no entry for period 1), O = 16, S = 32, C r = 52, S o = 78, M o = 96, T o = 125, -, -, W = 184, -, U = 240. Note that each of these entries corresponds to one of the twelve periods respectively. Group five (R H superscript two, R superscript two 0 superscript five) contains the following information: (no entry for period 1), N = 14, P = 31, V = 51, A s = 75, N b = 94, S b = 122, -, -, T a = 182, B l = 208, -. As of February 2024, 118 chemical elements have been identified and named officially by IUPAC.A chemical element, often simply called an element, is a type of atom which has a specific number of protons in its atomic nucleus (i.e., a specific atomic number, or Z). Group four (RH superscript four, R0 superscript eight) contains the following information: (no entry for period 1), C = 12, B i = 28, T i = 48, - = 72, Z r = 90, S n = 118, ? C o = 140, ? L a = 180, P b = 207, T h = 231. Group three (-, R superscript one 0 superscript nine) contains the information: (no entry for period 1), B = 11, A l = 27, 8. Note the ach of these entries corresponds to one of the twelve periods respectively. The second group (-, R 0) contains the following information: (not entry for period 1) B o = 9, 4, M g = 24, C a = 40, Z n = 65, S r = 87, C d = 112, B a = 187, -, -, H g = 200,. Figure B shows the first periodic table developed by Mendeleev, which had eight groups and twelve periods. (credit a: modification of work by Serge Lachinov credit b: modification of work by “Den fjättrade ankan”/Wikimedia Commons) Figure A shows a photograph of Dimitri Mendeleev. \): (a) Dimitri Mendeleev is widely credited with creating (b) the first periodic table of the elements.
