Section 2: Exploring the Periodic Table
![Page 2: Section 2: Exploring the Periodic Table. The Role of Electrons The periodic trends in the periodic table are the result of electrons arrangement Valence](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083007/56649de45503460f94adc131/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Role of Electrons
• The periodic trends in the periodic table are the result of electrons arrangement
• Valence electrons account for similar properties
• An element’s location in the periodic table is related to electron arrangement

Ion Formation
• If an atom gains or loses electrons, it no longer has an equal number of electrons and protons.
• Because the charges do not cancel completely, the atom has a net electric charge, an ion:– Group 1: elements form positive ions– Group 17: elements form negative ions

How Are Elements Classified?
• All elements are either metals, nonmetals, or semiconductors
• Elements in each category have similar properties:– Most metals are shinny solids– Nonmetals may be solid, liquids, or gases– Semiconductors are also called metalloids
