Groups
Within the periodic table there are 18 groups of elements. Elements in the same group will have similar chemical and physical properties, and will contain the same number of valence electrons. The circle shows where the group number is found.


Periods
There are seven periods, and they are found on the vertical axis of the periodic table. Elements in the same period will have the same number of electron shells, also known as orbital paths. The number of protons will increase as you go left to right on the table. The gold circle shows where the period number is located


Role of protons

Protons determine the identity of an element. The atomic number refers to how many protons are present in an element. The number of protons will increase as you move from left to right on the periodic table.
Metals/non-metals/metalloids
On the periodic table, metals are the most present category, followed by non-metals and then metalloids. Metals are conductors, meaning they transfer energy, they're malleable, ductile, and luster. On the other hand, metals are insulators, brittle, and dull. Metalloids are a combination of both and often referred to as "semi."

Valence Electrons
Valence electrons are the number of electrons found on the outermost shell of your element. Valence electrons also determine the reactivity of the element. The most reactive are 1 and 7 valence electrons, but once you get to 8, they become non-reactive. Elements with the same amount of valence electrons are found in the same group.

Family names and properties (pt. 1)
Grp 1: Alkali Metals: These metals are highly reactive and tend to donate electrons. Known for their silvery color and soft texture.
Grp 2: Alkaline Earth Metals: Found in group two, these metals are high conductors and have a high malleability.
Grp 3-12: Transition Metals: These elements have valence electrons in two electron shells instead of only one. Found in groups 3-12. All of them are metals
Grp 13: Boron Family: Has three valence electrons. Generally unreactive, except at extremely high temperatures. Boron is the only metalloid there.
