Patterns in the periodic table
Starter ActivityStarter Activity
• Use the white boards...• In ONE minute name as many
chemicals as you can
What are we going to learn?What are we going to learn?
Essential...• What the periodic table is• That the position of an element in the periodic table
can provide information about its electronic structureMerit grade...• That elements in groups have similar reactions• Be able to predict the reactions of elements in the
periodic tableExtension / Distinction...• Reactions of elements can depend on their electronic
structure
The periodic tableThe periodic table
Task 1 (10 mins)...Task 1 (10 mins)...
In groups look at the periodic table, 1. Why is water not in the periodic table?2. Look at the elements either side of the
black zig-zag line – what do you think this line seperates?
3. Is there any pattern in the numbers that are written by each element?
One person from each table can use http://www.webelements.com/to help...

Reactivity• Group 1 elements become more
reactive as you go down the group• Make an annotation on your
worksheet
Watch introduction to periodic Watch introduction to periodic table and answer questions...table and answer questions...
Plenary...Plenary...• In groups – on your white board...1. What is the periodic table?2. Draw an outline of the Periodic table,
indicate a group and a period3. What can you say about the reactions
of elements in a group?4. Were there any mistakes in the DVD?
Extension...Extension...
• Use www.webelements.com to find out about the reactions of group 7 elements.
• What sort of reactions take place?• Are they similar or different?

Patterns in the periodic tablePatterns in the periodic table
• It is a bit like gravity• The nucleus of an atom ‘pulls’ and
‘holds’ the electrons in orbit around the nucleus
Patterns in the periodic tablePatterns in the periodic table
• The bigger the atom gets, the easier it loses an electron
Li K
Pattern in the periodic tablePattern in the periodic table
• So potassium is more reactive than lithium• Francium is the most reactive as it is the
largest atom
• The nucleus is further away, so the pull is less
Li K
Pattern in the periodic tablePattern in the periodic table
• Group 7 elements become less reactive as they go down the group
• Why?
Pattern in the periodic tablePattern in the periodic table
• Again it is a bit like gravity• The smaller the atom the easier it gains an electron
F Cl
Pattern in the periodic tablePattern in the periodic table
• So Chlorine is less reactive than Fluorine• Astatine is the least reactive in the group as it has the largest atom and the
smallest ‘pull’
F Cl
Pattern in the periodic tablePattern in the periodic table
• Group 8 has a full outer shell• It does not want to lose or gain electrons • So they are very un-reactive
Ne Ar
Boiling pointsBoiling points
• The boiling points of group 1 decrease down the group
• The boiling points of group 7 increase down the group
QuestionsQuestions
1. What happens to the boiling point of the metals as you move down group 1
2. Group 1 atoms want to loose an electron, do you think it would be easier to remove an electron from Lithium or Cs?
3. What is the most reactive element in group 1?4. Group 7 atoms want to gain an electron, which atom would most
strongly attract an electron to the ‘gap’ in the outer shell?5. Which is the most reactive element in group 7?6. Group 8 elements are unreactive, with reference to their electron
structure, why is this?

We have learnt……• That the location of an element in
the periodic table can provide information about its electronic structure
• That elements in groups have similar reactions

• Isotopes are identical in their chemical reactions.
• This is because they have the same number of protons and the same number of electrons.
• The uncharged neutrons make no difference to chemical properties but do affect physical properties such as melting point and density.

Assignment
Assignment…Assignment…Scenario…. Produce a magazine article for a forensic science magazine. Make a title page with …• A title (e.g. ‘All about atoms’)• A logo used on the title page and also every other page • ‘South West edition’ or similar to show that it’s a local
periodical• Date• Price
For the article itself …• text boxes can create columns of text just like a real article in
a newspaper or magazine. • Pictures can be hand drawn onto printed sheets or students
can cut & stick what they already have• Every page, including the title page must be numbered
Grading criteria P1 • Describe atomic and electronic structures of elements 1-20, including isotopes, in the periodic table
Grading criteria M1 • Describe the patterns and trends of chemical properties of groups 1 and 7 in the periodic table
Grading criteria D1 • Explain the patterns and trends within groups 1 and 7 in the periodic table
