Periodic table context
The periodic table is an important reference table is science.
Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of
increasing atomic number.
Definition and name of group
 Symbol:Zn
 Atomic#:30
 Atomic weight:65.39
 Electronic
configuration:2-8-18-2
 Selected oxidation
state:+2
Why are elements grouped together?
Elements are grouped
together depending on
certain things for
example like group 12 is
the zinc family
Physical Properties
 Magnesium- it’s atomic number is 12 and it common oxidation
number is+2 and it is also a mineral.
 Zinc-Zinc is also known as spelter it is a metallic chemical element
its atomic number is 30. it is the first element in group 12 of the
periodic table. Zinc is like a bluish pale gray looking color
 Cooper –is from the Latin word cuprum which means “from the
island of Cyprus” it is also a chemical element its atomic number is
29 and it also has a very high chemical and electronically
conductivity
 Gold- gold is a Latin word its atomic number is 79 it is precious
metal and it is used for jewelry
 Mercury- it is also known as quick silver. it is a chemical element its
atomic number is 80 and it is also a heavy silver
Chemical properties
Low ionization energies
Positive oxidation states
Form colored compounds and ions in
solution
Fun Facts
 There a 38 different types of transitional metals
 Transitional metals are ductile, malleable and conduct
electricity as well as heat
 Iron, cobalt and nickel are the only elements found on
the periodic table that can produce a magnetic field.
 Metal Mercury is called the "Liquid Metal"
 Iron nickel and cobalt are the only elements known to
produce a magnetic field
Glossary
 Transitional metals-In the past it referred to any element in the dblock of the periodic table, which includes groups 3 to 12 on the
periodic table. All elements in the d-block are metals.
 Transition state- extremely brief interval of bond disruption and
formation during which the activated complex exist
 Electronic configuration- distribution of electrons among orbitals of
an atom
 Element- A chemical element is a pure chemical substance
consisting of one type of atom distinguished by its atomic number,
which is the number of protons in its nucleus. The term is also used
to refer to a pure chemical substance composed of atoms with the
same number of protons.
