Periodic Table Jeopardy

Table Terms

100

This is a type of element that is typically a hard, lustrous, malleable, solid and is a good conductor of heat and electricity.

What is a metal?

200

This is a type of element that is usually a gas or a brittle solid at room temperature, not malleable or ductile and is a poor conductor of heat and electricity.

What is a non-metal?

300

This is a type of element that shares some properties of metals and some of non-metals; located along the Periodic Staircase.

What is a metalloid?

400

This is the columns on a Periodic Table that arrange the elements by their valence electrons; elements in this share similar properties.

What is a group or famliy?

500

These are elements with missing or extra electrons and control the overall charge of the atom.

What are ions?

Family time

100

These are the metals that go from groups 3-12 of the Periodic Table and their valence electrons are variable, in general.

What is Transition Metals?

200

These are the non-metals in group 18 of the Periodic Table that are not reactive or inert.

What is Noble Gases?

300

These are the metals in group 1 of the Periodic Table that are the most reactive group of metals.

What is Alkali Metals?

400

These are the non-metals in group 17 of the Periodic Table that are most reactive group of nonmetals.

What is Halogens?

500

These are the metals in group 2 of the Periodic Table and are most likely to react with group 16 of the Periodic Table. 

What are Alkaline Earth Metals?

Groups

100

This is the number of electrons needed to satisfy the octet rule.

What is 8?

200

This is the name of the 16th group.

What is the chalcogens? 

300

This is what an element's groups determines.

What is number of valence electrons and chemical properties?

400

These 2 things are what most elements are on the periodic table can be classified as.

(HINT: Look at your colored periodic tables.)

What are metals and solids?

500

This is the group that contains the most reactive metals.

What is group 1 or Alkali metals?

Metal or not

100

This is the location of the metalloids.

What is on the staircase?

200

This element is the only liquid non-metal at room temperature.

What is Br?

300

This element is NOT a metal but is in the same column as the Alkali metals.

What is H?

400

This non-metal gas is the first element in group 15.

What is N?

500

This is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature.

What is Hg?

ID the Element

100

This element is in period 2 and has 6 valence electrons.

What is Chlorine(Cl)?

300

This metalloid is on period 2.

What is Boron(B)?

400

This is the last transition metal in the 4th period.

What is Zinc(Zn)?

500

This non-metal is similar to Oxygen and has an atomic mass less than Selenium.

What is Sulfur(S)?
