The Periodic Table

Describe the Periodic Table

Describe the Periodic Table

The periodic table is a chemistry
reference
It arranges all the known elements in
an informative grid

Describe the Periodic Table

Elements are arranged left to right
and top to bottom in order of
increasing atomic number
This order usually coincides with
increasing atomic mass

Describe the Periodic Table

The Table's pattern and arrangement
shows the arrangement of electrons in the
atom.
Elements have different atomic numbers the number of protons or electrons
increases up the table as electrons fill the
shells.

Describe the Periodic Table

Elements have different atomic masses - the
number of protons plus neutrons
increases up the table.
Rows - elements of each row have the
same number of energy levels (shells).
Columns - elements have the same
number of electrons in the outermost
energy level or shell (one to eight).

Describe the Periodic Table

The different rows of elements are called
periods.
The period number of an element signifies the
highest energy level an electron in that
element occupies

The different columns of elements are

called groups or families
Elements in the same family have similar
properties

Atomic Number
The number of protons in an atom identifies
the element.
The number of protons in an atom is
referred to as the atomic number of that
element.

Atomic Symbol:
The atomic symbol is one or two letters
chosen to represent an element ("H" for
"hydrogen," etc.).
These symbols are used every where in the
world
Usually, a symbol is the abbreviation of the
element or the abbreviated Latin name of
the element.

table:
Atomic Mass:
The atomic mass is the average mass of
an element in atomic mass units ("amu").
Though individual atoms always have a
whole number of amus, the atomic mass
on the periodic table is shown as a
decimal number because it is an average
of all the isotopes of an element.
