- Periodic table- atomic numbers increase
- Columns are groups, rows are periods
- Groups have similar properties
- First two groups and last six groups are the representative elements, they are more predictable than the other elements
- Groups three through twelve are transition metals
- The detached portion should be inserted into table above- space saving to put them elsewhere
- Noble gases- don’t react well with anything
- Alkali metals- very reactive, does not include hydrogen
- Alkaline earth metals- very reactive but not as much as group 1
- Transition metals are pretty similar to each other
- Metalloids- above and below the “stair-step”
- Metals- shiny, easily shaped, conduct electricity.
