CONTENT STANDARD
The arrangement of elements in the periodic table and trends in the properties of the elements in
terms of electronic structure
PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The learners can arrange elements and explain their properties through the knowledge of electron
structure.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Law of Triads
John Newlands
(1837-1898)
Law of Octaves
Henry Moseley
(1887-1915)
• A chart in which elements having similar chemical and physical properties are grouped together
• The vertical columns are called groups or families according to the similarities in their properties
• At present, it contains 118 elements (113 to 118 are not yet fully named)

THREE MAIN CATEGORIES
• METALLOIDS - have properties that are intermediate between metals and non-metals
REPRESENTATIVE ELEMENTS
• Group A elements
• Have unfilled or filled s and p orbital in the
highest principal quantum number
TRANSITION METALS
• Group B elements
• Filled up d orbital
1. Write the electron configuration (using noble gas notation) of the elements in group 1A
Metals tend to give off their valence electrons and become cations to have eight electrons in their
valence shell.
Transition metals lose their highest s orbital electrons first before losing their d orbital
