2. What is it?
The Periodic Table is a display of
the elements, organized by their
atomic numbers, electron
configurations, and recurring
chemical properties. The
Elements are presented in order
of increasing atomic number.
It was first drafter by Russian
Chemist and inventor Dmitri
Mendeleev

3. History
In 1869 Dmitri Mendeleev
published his version of the
periodic table for scientist to
reference to in order of weight.
Henry Moseley developed the
atomic number in 1913.
Because of the atomic numbers
they were able to predict missing
elements from the table.

4. Organization
From left to right, they are
arranged in increasing
atomic number (protons )
Metals are on the left,
nonmetals on the right and
metalloids along the zig-zag
line that divides the metals
and nonmetals, inert gases
on the far right

5. Element Relationships
As you go down a period, they
have one more ring of electrons
As you go down a column, called
groups, the elements have the
same number of electrons, which
gives them similar chemical
activity
As you go down a period, they
have one more ring of electrons

6. Hydrogen
Atomic Number: 1
Symbol: H
Hydrogen is the lightest
element. It is the most
abundant element in the
universe and makes up
about 90% of the universe
weight wise. In liquid form
it is essential to life.

7. Oxygen
Atomic Number: 8
Symbol: O
About one fifth of the
atmosphere is oxygen, the
gas is colorless, odorless,
and tasteless.

8. Silver
Atomic Number: 47
Symbol: Ag
Pure silver has a brilliant
white metallic look and also
has the highest electrical
and thermal conductivity of
all metals. Silver iodide is
known for causing clouds to
produce rain.
