The Periodic Table of Elements - Post-Transition Metals, Metalloids and Nonmetals | Children's Chemistry Book

Baby Professor

Description

Why is it important for a child to study the periodic table of elements now? Can't he/she just wait until college to do that? Early learning is best because a child’s developing mind absorbs information at a faster rate than that of an adult. Also, the development of a healthy study habit begins during your child’s elementary years. So encourage reading and learning today!

In this book, we are going to cover the Periodic Table of Elements. We’re also going to take an in-depth look at Post- Transition Metals, Metalloids, and Nonmetals. So let’s dive right in!






WHAT IS THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS?
The Periodic Table is called “periodic” because its elements are organized in periods, also called cycles. The elements are organized in rows by their atomic number, which indicates the number of protons that each element has in its nucleus.
















You’ll notice when you look at the Periodic Table that some columns are skipped. This is so that the elements that have valence electrons of exactly the same number align on the same columns.







Valence electrons are electrons that can create chemical bonds, so they are important to the element’s properties. Lined up in this way in columns, these elements have some properties that are similar. Each of the horizontal rows in the Periodic Table is called a period.
