Which One Doesn't Belong?
100

These are the four key pieces of information on the periodic table for each element.

What are the Atomic Number, Symbol, Element, and Atomic Mass?

100

These are the properties of metals.

What are malleable, ductile, shiny, and good conductors of heat and electricity?

100
This is the type of bonding that occurs between metals.
What is metallic bonding?
100

This is the location of the metals on the periodic table.

What is to the left of the stair-step line?

100
This is the element that doesn't belong in the Noble Gases: Xenon, Helium, Chlorine, Neon
What is Chlorine?
200
This is the name of the columns of elements on the periodic table, showing elements with similar properties.
What are groups?
200

These are the elements that break down almost as soon as they are made.

What are synthetics?

200
This is the type of bonding that occurs when elements give up or accept an electron (metals to non-metals).
What is ionic bonding?
200

This is the location of the non-metals on the periodic table.

What is to the right of the stair-step line?

200

This is the element that doesn't belong in the Alkaline Earth metals: Magnesium, Beryllium, Radium, Lithium

What is Lithium?
300
These are the horizontal rows on the periodic table that show elements increasing in proton amount.
What are periods?
300

This is the element that makes up most (90%) of the universe.

What is hydrogen?

300
This is the type of bonding that occurs when elements share electrons (non-metals to non-metals).
What is covalent bonding?
300

This is where the metalloids are located on the periodic table.

What is on the stair-step line?

300

This is the element that doesn't belong in the Coinage Metals: Copper, Nickel, Silver, Gold

What is Nickel?
400
This is why the actinides and lanthanides were moved to the bottom of the periodic table.
What is to save space?
400

These are the most active metals on the periodic table.

What are the Alkali metals?

400
These are what an element becomes after either giving away or accepting an electron.
What is an ion?
400

This is the number of valence electrons in the outer energy level of the Noble Gases.

What is 8?

400

This is the element that doesn't belong in the Iron Triad: Iron, Cobalt, Tin, Nickel

What is Tin?
500
This is the name of the scientist who is credited with designing the periodic table.
Who is (Dmitri) Mendeleev?
500

This is the name of the different structures a grouping of elements can take on (e.g. carbon can be made into both graphite and diamond).

What are allotropes?

500
This is what is created when an element accepts an electron from another element (thereby accepting an additional negative charge). 
What is a negative ion?
500

This is the number of valence electrons in the outer energy level of the Alkali metals.

What is 1?

500

This is the element that doesn't belong in the metals: Xenon, Indium, Chromium, Calcium

What is Xenon?
