For problem solving, all of the work leading up to the final answer must be shown in order to receive credit. You will not receive credit for “Magic 1. Use the periodic table to separate these 12 elements into six pairs of elements having similar properties. Ca, K, Ga, P, Si, Rb, B, Sr, Sn, Cl, Bi, Br Ca & Sr K & Rb Ga & B P & Bi Si & Sn Cl & Br 2. Use the periodic table to identify by name and symbol the elements that have the following locations. Phosphorus a. Group 15, Period 3 Barium b. Groups 2, Period 6 3. Where are the metals usually found on the periodic table? Where are the nonmetals found? The metalloids? Metals are on the left side and in the center; nonmetals are in the upper-right corner; metalloids form a border between the metals and nonmetals. 4. What are the major differences in the physical properties of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids? Metals—have luster, are malleable and ductile, good conductors of heat and electricity Nonmetals—are dull, not good conductors of heat and electricity, are brittle Metalloids—tend to be brittle, are semiconductors of heat and electricitiy 5. List one distinctive characteristic for the halogens, one for the noble gases, and one for the alkali metals. The halogens are the most reactive nonmetals The noble gases are unreactive. The alkali metals are the most reactive metals. 6. Hydrogen is shown on some periodic tables in two places: both with the alkali metals and with the halogens. What does this indicate about the characteristics of hydrogen? This indicates that hydrogen has properties similar to the alkali metals to the halogens. 1 7. Many people who have high blood pressure have been advised by their doctors to reduce their intake of sodium. Therefore, it is recommended that these individuals try to eliminate table salt (NaCl), a primary source of sodium, from their diets. Another salt, potassium chloride, may be safely substituted by those who still desire the flavor enhancement provided by salt. What evidence do you have that its properties are similar to the properties of sodium chloride? Both sodium and potassium are in the first group of the periodic table and elements in the same of group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties. 8. Identify the classes of elements to which each of the following elements belongs. Each element is described by more than one term. Choose from the following classes: metal, nonmetal, metalloid; alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, transition metal, inner transition metal (lanthanide or actinide), halogen, noble gas; solid, liquid, gas (at room temperature). ex. argon: nonmetal, noble gas, gas Nonmetal Noble gas Gas a. helium: Metal Inner Transition Metal Solid b. einsteinium: Metal Alkaline Earth Metal Solid c. calcium: Nonmetal Oxygen Group Solid d. sulfur: Metalloid Carbon Group Solid e. silicon: Metal Alkali Metal Solid f. cesium: Metal Transition Metal Solid g. platinum: Nonmetal Halogen Liquid h. bromine: Nonmetal Nitrogen Group Gas i. nitrogen: 9. Name a chemical or physical property that will distinguish between the following pairs of elements. a. Sodium and silver: Sodium is more reactive in water than silver. b. Oxygen and helium: Oxygen promotes combustion. Oxygen is less dense than helium. c. Mercury and gallium: Mercury is a liquid. Gallium is a solid 2 10. Your spaceship lands on an unexplored planet. Initial surveys of the terrain result in the discovery of the presence of three elements: X, Y and Z (not real chemical symbols). One of these elements is a colorless gas at room temperature. All three tend to exist as diatomic molecules (two atoms joined to form a molecule) in elemental form. While their densities and boiling point vary widely, all three react readily with sodium to form compounds of the formulas NaX, NaY and NaZ. As a research scientist on the spaceship crew, it is your responsibility to decide whether these elements should be grouped together on a table of elements. What is your decision? What evidence do you have in support of your decision? These elements should be grouped with the halogens because they combine in a one to one ratio with sodium, an alkali metal. 3 .

    Investigative Science – ALIEN PERIODIC TABLE Tuesday September 17, 2013 Perry High School Mr. Pomerantz__________________________________________________________________________Page 1 of 2 Procedure: After reading the information below, correctly place the Alien elements in the periodic table based on the physical and chemical properties described. Imagine that scientists have made contact with life on a distant planet. The planet is composed of many of the same elements as are found on Earth. However, the in habitants of the planet have different names and symbols for the elements. The radio transmission gave data on the known chemical and physical properties of the first 30 elements that belong to Groups 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. SEE if you can place the elements into a blank periodic table based on the information. You may need your Periodic Table as a reference for this activity. Here is the information on the elements. 1. The noble gases are bombal (Bo), wobble, (Wo), jeptum (J) and logon (L). Among these gases, wobble has the greatest atomic mass and bombal has the least. Logon is lighter than jeptum. 2. The most reactive group of metals are xtalt (X), byyou (By), chow (Ch) and quackzil (Q). Of these metals, chow has the lowest atomic mass. Quackzil is in the same period as wobble. 3. The most reactive group of nonmetals are apstrom (A), volcania (V), and kratt (Kt). Volcania is in the same period as quackzil and wobble. 4. The metalloids are Ernst (E), highho (Hi), terriblum (T) and sississ (Ss). Sissis is the metalloid with the highest mass number.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.

  • METALS, NONMETALS, and METALLOIDS Refl Ect Earth Contains a Number of Different Materials That We Use to Meet Specifi C Needs
    METALS, NONMETALS, AND METALLOIDS refl ect Earth contains a number of different materials that we use to meet specifi c needs. We breathe air, drink water, and use different rocks and stones for construction and transportation. Early humans used rocks and minerals that they took from the ground to help them hunt, travel, and provide shelter. Humans could remove materials such as copper, gold, and silver from Earth rather easily. They found these materials had properties that made them useful. Over time, the way that humans used these materials changed their lives. Iron, silicon, and wood are only Iron found beneath Earth’s surface a few of the many materials that have made building, can be removed from the ground travel, and communication much easier. How do you and put to use. What physical use these materials to make your life easier? What properties does iron have? properties of these materials make them so useful? Scientists use the periodic table to classify elements. All of the materials that surround you—the objects you use, the air you breathe, the ground that you walk upon, even you—are made of elements and compounds. Compounds are all made of elements. A list of elements can be found on an organized chart called the periodic table. The location of each element in the periodic table is based on its properties. One of the ways the periodic table groups the elements is to separate them into metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Metals are on the left and lower side of the periodic table; they include elements such as aluminum and gold.

  • Summary of Properties of Elements in the Periodic Table
    An Overview of The Properties of Elements in The Periodic Table The Key Atomic Properties Atomic properties that are critical to the behavior of elements are electron configuration, atomic size, ionization energy, electron affinity, and electronegativity. The electron configuration (nl#: spdf notation) gives the distribution of electrons in principal energy levels and sublevels of an atom. The principal quantum number n determines the energy and relative distance of orbitals from the nucleus; The quantum number l yields s, p, d, and f notations, which describes the shape of orbitals in the sublevel; The superscript (#) tells the number of electrons in the sublevels. Electrons in inner levels or shells tend to shield outer electrons from the full nuclear charge, which is reduced to effective nuclear charge (Zeff). Electrons that have a greater penetration shield others more effectively. For example, electrons in level n = 1 shield those in level n = 2 very effectively, and those in n = 1 and n = 2 shield electrons in level n = 3. Electrons at the same level, but in different sublevels, also shield other electrons to some extent. The extent of penetration and shielding effect is in the order: s > p > d > f. The effective nuclear charge (Zeff) greatly influences atomic properties. In general, Zeff increases significantly across a period (left-to-right) Zeff decreases slightly down a group. In the periodic table, elements are divided into: the s-block (contains reactive metals of Group 1A (1) and 2A (2)), the p-block (contains metals and nonmetals of Group 3A (13) through 8A (18)), the d-block (contains transition metals (Group 3B (3) through Group (2B (12)), and the f-block (contains lanthanide and actinide series or inner transition metals).
