Groups
This is Group 1 of the Periodic Table. This group is said to have shiny metals that can be easily cut with a knife. These metals are also very reactive.
What are Alkali Metals?
I was the first to suggest that groups of elements have similar properties. I called my groups triads.
Dobereiner
These elements have physical and chemical properties of both metals and nonmetals
What are metalloids?
The thoroughbred racehorse Man O' War lost only one race: a 1919 upset to a horse named this
Upset
This element is in the first period of the transition elements and is located in group 7 on the Periodic Table
What is Manganese?
These metals occupy groups 3-12 on the Periodic Table. They are fairly unreactive for metals, making them useful for jewelry and construction.
What are Transition Metals?
I used larger groups, grouping elements into groups of seven.
John Newlands?
This element is not considered a metalloid, but has properties of both metals and nonmetals. It is found in group 1 on the Periodic Table. It is also said to be the most common element in the universe.
What is Hydrogen?
It is the title of Stephen King's novel about the creepy clown Pennywise
It
This is the only Noble Gas with 2 valence electrons
Helium
These are the elements in group 18. These elements were not yet discovered when the first periodic table was developed since they only react under special conditions.
What are Noble Gases?
I used groups of varying numbers of elements and created our modern version of the Periodic Table.
Dimitri Mendeleev
None of the early developers of the Periodic Table included this groups since they had not yet been discovered.
Noble Gases
This university's admissions office is in Crouse-Hinds Hall in Syracuse New York
Syracuse University
This element is the metalloid with the lowest atomic number.
What is Boron?
This is group two of the periodic table. These elements react quickly, although not as quickly as the elements in group one.
What are Alkaline Earth Metals?
Henry Moseley
The Lanthanides, cerium through lutetium, are also known by this name, indicating their lack of abundance.
The Rare Earth Elements
The major powers of Europe were involved in this war that lasted the 7 years between 1756 & 1763
The Seven Years War
This is the period 4 halogen
What is Bromine?
Elements that can react with a metal and form a salt. These are found in Group 17 on the Periodic Table and include Chlorine, Fluorine, and Iodine.
What are Halogens?
I developed a system in which the number of valence electrons in an atom could be displayed in a simple diagram.
Gilbert Newton Lewis
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and this element make up a whopping 96% of the mass of our body.
What is Oxygen?
In this classic game from Milton Bradley you have to connect 4 of your pieces in a row to win
Connect Four
This element is the lightest Alkali Metal.
Lithium
