Families</font></big></td> </tr> </table> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The modern periodic table, based on atomic number and electron configuration, was created primarily by a Russian chemist, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, and a German physicist, Julius Lothar Meyer, both working independently. They both created similar periodic tables only a few months apart in 1869. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><font size ="2" face="Verdana">Mendeleev created the first periodic table based on atomic weight. He observed that many elements had similar properties, and that they occur periodically. Hence, the table s name. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><font size ="2" face="Verdana">His periodic law states that the chemical and physical properties of the elements vary in a periodic way with their atomic weights. The modern one states that the properties vary with atomic number, not weight. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">Elements in Mendeleev's table were arranged in rows called periods. The columns were called groups. Elements of each group had similar properties. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The Periodic table can be divided into nine families of elements each having similar properties. The families include:</P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="alkali metals">Alkali metals</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The alkali metals, found in group 1 of the periodic table, are highly reactive metals that do not occur freely in nature. These metals have only one electron in their outer shell. Therefore, they are ready to lose that one electron in ionic bonding with other elements. As with all metals, the alkali metals are malleable, ductile, and are good conductors of heat and electricity. The alkali metals are softer than most other metals. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="alkaline metals">Alkaline metals</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The alkaline earth elements are metallic elements found in the second group of the periodic table. All alkaline earth elements have an oxidation number of +2, making them very reactive. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="transition metals">The Transition metals</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The 38 elements in groups 3 through 12 of the periodic table are called "transition metals." As with all metals, the transition elements are both ductile and malleable, and conduct electricity and heat. Their valence electrons are present in more than one shell. This is why they often exhibit several common oxidation states. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="other metals">Other metals</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The "other metals" elements are located in groups 13, 14, and 15. While these elements are ductile and malleable, they are not the same as the transition elements. These elements, unlike the transition elements, do not exhibit variable oxidation states, and their valence electrons are only present in their outer shell. All of these elements are solid, have a relatively high density, and are opaque. They have oxidation numbers of +3, ±4, and -3. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="metalloids">Metalloids</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">Metalloids are the elements found between the boundary that distinguishes metals from non-metals. Metalloids have properties of both metals and non-metals. Some of the metalloids, such as silicon and germanium, are semi-conductors. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="non metals">Non-metals</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table. Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well. As opposed to metals, non-metallic elements are very brittle. The non-metals can be gases, such as oxygen and solids, such as carbon. The non-metals have no metallic luster, and do not reflect light. They have oxidation numbers of ±4, -3, and -2. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="halogens">Halogens</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The halogens are five non-metallic elements found in group 17 of the periodic table. All halogens have 7 electrons in their outer shells, giving them an oxidation number of -1. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="noble gases">Noble gases</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The noble gases are found in group 18 of the periodic table. These elements have an oxidation number of 0. This prevents them from forming compounds readily. All noble gases have 8 electrons in their outer shell, making them stable. </P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana"><U><a name="rare earth elements">Rare Earth</a></U></P> <p><font size ="2" face="Verdana">The 30 rare earth elements are composed of the lanthanide and actinide series. One element of the lanthanide series and most of the elements in the actinide series are synthetic, that is, human-made. All of the rare earth metals are found in group 3 of the periodic table, and the 6th and 7th periods.</P> <!-- Page Content Ends Here --> </TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=483 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD valign="top" background="images/mss_template_30.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_30.gif" WIDTH=31 HEIGHT=12 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=12 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ROWSPAN=5> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_31.gif" WIDTH=31 HEIGHT=133 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=24> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_32.gif" WIDTH=742 HEIGHT=41 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=41 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=24> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_33.gif" WIDTH=742 HEIGHT=39 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=39 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=12> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_34.gif" WIDTH=401 HEIGHT=27 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=8> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_35.gif" WIDTH=239 HEIGHT=27 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=4> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_36.gif" WIDTH=102 HEIGHT=27 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=27 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=8> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_37.gif" WIDTH=319 HEIGHT=20 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=14> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_38.gif" WIDTH=393 HEIGHT=20 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=2> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_39.gif" WIDTH=30 HEIGHT=20 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=20 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=4> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_40.gif" WIDTH=204 HEIGHT=6 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=20 ROWSPAN=2> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_41.gif" WIDTH=538 HEIGHT=39 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=6 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=4 ROWSPAN=3> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_42.gif" WIDTH=125 HEIGHT=53 ALT=""></TD> <TD ROWSPAN=2> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_43.gif" WIDTH=110 HEIGHT=45 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=33 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=20> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_44.gif" WIDTH=538 HEIGHT=12 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=12 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=2 ROWSPAN=2> <IMG SRC="images/mss_template_45.gif" WIDTH=132 HEIGHT=18 ALT=""></TD> <TD COLSPAN=10 ROWSPAN=2>&nbsp;
