Discover how vertical groups on the periodic table exhibit similar properties, from electron configurations to reactivity trends. Learn about important groups such as alkali metals and halogens, their reactivity, and occurrence in nature. Explore the unique characteristics of each group and their significance in chemistry studies.

Groups on the periodic table • Vertical groups on the periodic table share similar properties: • 1. They all have the s_____ number of e_____ in their o______ s_____. • 2. They share similar r_______ properties. • 3. Metals become more r______ as they move down a g_____ and non-metals become less reactive as they move down the group. • 4. Groups are m_____ r________ on the outside of the table.
Important groups- colour these groups on the periodic table (each a different colour). • Alkali metals- (group 1). • Alkali earth metals- (group 2). • Transition metals- (group 3-11). • Halogens- (group 17). • Nobel gases/inert gases- (group 18).
Copy these notes under the table you have coloured in. • Alkali metals-(group 1). Highly reactive and never found in element form in nature. • Alkali earth metals- (group 2). High melting point, found in element form in nature. • Halogens- (group 7). Highly reactive and only found in the environment as compounds. • Nobel gases/inert gases- (group 8). Unreactive because they have a full outer shell.
