The Periodic Table of Elements
Document Questions:
  • What information does each square on the periodic table give us?
  • Where are the metals, metalloids, and non-metals located on the Periodic Table?
  • What is a Period and a Group on a Periodic Table?

 

You will need to use your textbook pages, 328 - 333, to do this document.

Reading the Periodic Table:
1. Create a diagram, like the one on the top of page 328, that would help someone understand how to read all the information on a square in the periodic table.  Choose any element.  The book chooses Carbon (C) so choose another besides Carbon.  Remember to Label ALL the parts.
2. When a chemical symbol for an element has 2 letters, how do you write it?
With the second letter in lower case.
3. Take the image of the Periodic Table of Elements and circle and label 3 sections:
  • Metals - Blue Circle
  • Metalloids - Green Circle
  • Non-Metals - Yellow Circle
 
4. Write a brief description about
  • a metal: A metal is generally solid at room temperature. Tends to be shiny, can me smashed with a hammer, can conduct thermal energy.
  • metalloid: Metalloids have some of the properties of non-metals and metals.
  • non-metal: A non-metal is generally a gas at room temp., they break easily when not a gas or liquid, They are not shiny, poor conductors of thermal energy.
5. Looking at your chart above, most elements are classified as metals, non-metals, or metalloids?

most are classified as metals.

6. In General, where on the periodic table are the elements that are in the gas state at room temperature?

 On the right side

7. Looking at the periodic table on page 328-329, what state of matter do most elements exist at room temperature?

mostly on the right side


8. Define:
  • A Group: a column of elements
  • A Period: a row of elements

9. Again, take the image of the Periodic Table of Elements and Circle and label 2 more parts:

  • A Group - Red Circle (only circle and label one of the groups)
  • A Period - Black Circle (only circle and label one of the periods)

  2. Be at least 4 to 5 sentences.

In this lesson we worked on the periodic table of elements we looked at some of the information in the science book  and we also understood how to read and understand the periodic table of elements , each square tell us the elements atomic number, its symbol , and its atomic mass the periodic table is mostly made up of metals which are located in the right of the periodic table, the nonmetals on the left of the periodic table and the metalloids in between both on the left side. also in a periodic table a row is known as a period and a column is known as a group .
 		 In today's lesson we really focused on the periodic table of elements. We used our textbooks and the computer to learn information about it. Each square on the periodic table gives us the element's atomic number, its symbol, and its atomic mass. The periodic table is mostly  made up of metals which are located in the middle/right. The non-metals are on the left and the metalloids are also on the left side in a little section. A group on the periodic table is a column of elements and a period is a whole row on the periodic table.

For this work we did on the periodic table of elements we looked in the book to find out info on how to read the periodic table of elements. Each square in the periodic table of elements tells us its atomic number, The name of the element, the elements symbol, and its atomic mass. The metals are on the right of the periodic table, the nonmetals on the left and the metalloids in between both on the left side. A period a row on the periodic table of elements and a Group is the column on the periodic table.
  • What information does each square on the periodic table give us?
  • Where are the metals, metalloids, and non-metals located on the Periodic Table?
  • What is a Period and a Group on a Periodic Table?
