TRENDS IN GROUPS WITHIN THE PERIODIC TABLE
Group 1:The alkali metals

 This is the most reactive group in the periodic table.


 All elements in this group have 1 electrons in their outermost
shell.
 Reactivity increases as u go down the group.
 In the first 20 elements the group 1 elements are;
Lithium
Sodium
potassium

Group 7:The halogens

 All the elements in this Group have 7 electrons in their outermost


shell.
 Reactivity decreases as u go down the group.
 In the first 20 elements the Group 7 elements are;
Flourine
Chlorine

Group 8:The noble gases

 All the elements in this Group have 8 electrons in their outermost


shell.
 All the Group 8 elements are stable(this means their outermost
shell is full)
 In the first 20 elements the Group 8 elements are;
Helium
Neon
Argon

TOPIC 2.3
WHY ELEMENTS REACT TO FORM COMPOUNDS
Why do elements react together

 Elements react together to become stable but the Group


8(Noble gases)do not react because their outermost shell is
already full. Elements react by two different ways, namely;
Ionic bond
Covalent bond
ionic bond

 Ionic bond is a chemical bond between a metal and a non-metal.


 During an ionic bond some atoms loose electrons whiles others
gain electrons.
 An example on an ionic bond is;
Sodium chloride
 Ionic bonds form ions, there are two types of ions namely;
Anion
cathion
Covalent bond

 Covalent bond is a chemical bond between two non-metals.


 During a covalent bond the atoms share electrons.
 The atoms in a covalent bond add up to form molecules.
 Some examples of a covalent bond is;
Ammonia molucle
Hydrogen molecule
