Get to Know the Periodic Table Activity 1-1
Put your name on it. READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU START FILLING IN!
As you do this, pay attention and learn.
You are expected to KNOW
after doing this assignment:
1.
The state of every
element at room temperature and pressure.
2.
Which elements
are metals and which are nonmetals by looking at the periodic table.
3.
What a period on
the Periodic table is. (horizontal row or vertical column?)
4.
What a group on
the Periodic Table is. (horizontal row or vertical column?)
5.
The name of each
group of elements listed in #7.
6.
The Additional
sections on the periodic table listed in #19.
7.
Elements that are
NOT in the transition elements or the lanthanides or actinides are in the
REPRESENTATIVE ELEMENTS.
DO NOT SPEND ALL OF YOUR TIME
WRITING ALL THE SYMBOLS in # 3! You can
fill the majority in after the rest is done. Use the colored pencils in class,
now.
Getting To Know the Periodic Table
Objective: To be able to use the periodic table to
identify and classify elements and to use the periodic table to predict the
behavior of elements.
Procedure:
- Write the symbol of each element that exists as a gas at ordinary conditions in RED: (H, He, N, O, F, Ne, Cl, Ar, Kr,
Xe, Rn
)
- Write the symbol of each element that is a liquid at ordinary condition in BLUE. Hg , Br.
- Write the symbol of the rest of the elements, which are all solids at ordinary conditions, in
BLACK . If you don’t get them all written right now, do it later. Move
onto step 4 and come back to this step.
- Number the groups. (Use the periodic table on page 64
in the text book, “World of Chemistry,”
or Marine’s Periodic table for numbering system.)
- Number the periods
- Draw a heavy black line between
the metals and nonmetals.
- Write the name of each of the
following groups above the number:
Group 1 alkali metals
Group 2 alkaline
earth metal
Group 3-12 (collectively) transition metals
Group 17 halogens
Group 18 Noble gases
- Write the names of the two rows at
the bottom of the chart: lanthanides
and actinides
- Place the atomic number for each element above the symbol.
- Use the following chart to shade
the boxes on the periodic table. Other colors may be substituted.
Halogens blue
Noble gases yellow
Alkali metals purple
Alkaline earth metals red
Transition elements green
Lanthanides orange
Actinides light blue
- OUTLINE THE BOX in dark green if the element is
RADIOACTIVE in its most common form:
Tc, Po, At, Rn, Fr, Ra, Rf, Db,
La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Ac, Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No,
Lr
