Remember What a Group is?Groups are columns on the periodic table.
Elements in a group all have the same number of valence electrons.

Hydrogen Hydrogen belongs to a
family of its own. Hydrogen is a diatomic,
reactive gas. Hydrogen was involved in
the explosion of the Hindenberg.
Hydrogen is promising as an alternative fuel source for automobiles

Alkaline Earth Metals
Second column on the periodic table. (Group 2)
Reactive metals that are always combined with nonmetals in nature.
Several of these elements are important mineral nutrients (such as Mg and Ca)

Halogens
Elements in group 17 Very reactive, volatile,
diatomic, nonmetals Used as disinfectants
and to strengthen teeth.
The Noble Gases
Elements in group 18 VERY unreactive,
monatomic gases Used in lighted “neon”
sign Have a full valence shell.
Periodic Table with GROUP Names
Questions1. Why are the noble gases all inert? Why do they all behave the same way, and
have very similar chemical properties? 2. Draw a Lewis structure for hydrogen. Draw a Lewis structure for oxygen. Think
about the octet rule. How many hydrogen atoms will want to bond with an oxygen atom? What compound does this form? Draw the Lewis dot structure for the compound.
3. Do you think a noble gas will react with Oxygen? Would an alkalai metal react with iodine?
4. You see a neon light break and the glass is everywhere. Should you be afraid of the neon gas that was inside the light?
