IPC Unit 2: Periodic Table & the Atom

An organized chart of elements arranged in increasing atomic number and grouped by changes in chemical and physical properties.

• The periodic table

• A family

• A group

• A period

A horizontal row on the periodic table (horizontal is a line that goes from left to right)

• A period

• A group

• A family

• A transition

A vertical column on the periodic table is know as

• Group

• Block

• Period

• Transition

A shiny, ductile, malleable element that is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

• Metal

• Nonmetal

• Metalloid

• Synthetic

A characteristic of an element that allows it to be turned into thin sheets by pounding with a mallet or other method.

• Malleable

• Ductile

• Conductor

• Insulator

A characteristic of an element that allows it to by pulled into thin wire.

• Ductile

• malleable

• conductor

• insulator

The first group of elements on the periodic table (excluding hydrogen). These elements are soft and reactive.

• Alkali Metals

• Alkaline Earth Metals

• InnerTransition metal/Rare earth

• Halogens

The second group/family of elements that starts with Beryllium.

• Alkali Metals

• Alkaline Earth Metals

• InnerTransition metal/Rare Earth

• Halogens

The two rows set apart below the rest of the elements on a normal periodic table.

• Alkali Metals

• Alkaline Earth Metals

• InnerTransition metal/Rare Earth

• Halogens

Metals in groups 3-12 (basically the middle of the periodic table)

• Alkali Metals

• Alkaline Earth Metals

• Transition Metals

• Halogens
