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: Follow these steps IN ORDER to correctly complete this activity!!!

1. Number the groups (There are 18)


2. Number the periods (There are 7)
3. Draw a heavy black line between the metals and nonmetals—this looks like stair-steps! (look at text pg.120, Fig. 22)
4. 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
5. Place the atomic number for each element in the top left of each box.
6. Write the symbol of each element that exists as a gas at ordinary conditions in RED.
7. Write the symbol of each element that is a solid at ordinary conditions in BLACK.
8. Write the symbol of each element that is a liquid at ordinary condition in BLUE.
9. Write the symbol of each element that is a man-made element as an outline. **Example: Pm
10. Use the following chart to color the periodic table (color the boxes of the elements):
Halogens blue
Noble gases yellow
Alkali metals purple
Alkaline earth metals red
Transition elements green
Lanthanides orange
Actinides light blue
11. Outline the element’s box in dark green if it is RADIOACTIVE in its most common form.
