Using the Periodic Table
A chart of the elements arranged in rows and columns according to their physical properties.
What is the periodic table?
An element that is generally shiny, can be formed into shapes, and can conduct electricity and heat.
What is a metal?
Elements that have no metallic properties.
What are nonmetals?
Na + O2 ---> Na2O
4. 1. 2.
I am reactive, I am soft.
I oft am mixed with Cl, yes I oft.
What is sodium?
A column on the periodic table.
What is a group?
The ability of a metal to reflect light.
What is luster?
An element that shares properties of metals and nonmetals.
What is a metalloid?
KOH + HBr ---> KBr + H2O
1. 1. 1. 1.
You can find me in computer chips,
many rocks, and underneath parked ships.
What is silicon?
A row on the peroidic table.
What is a period?
The ability of a metal to be hammered into thin sheets.
What is malleability?
The elements in group 18 on the periodic table.
What are noble gases?
N2 + O2 ---> N2O5
2. 5. 2.
Breathing me would be a noble plan,
I'm the sci-fi weakness of superman.
What is Krypton?
Name the three categories of elements.
What are metals, non-metals, and metalloids?
The ability of a metal to be pulled into thin wires.
What is ductility?
Something that conducts electricity at high temperatures, but not a low temperatures.
What is a semiconductor?
K + B2O3 ---> K2O + B
6. 1. 3. 2.
Named after a founding father of chemistry,
Element 101 is not a lemon tree.
What is Mendelevium?
Describe how the periodic table is arranged. Include valence electrons, atomic number, and atomic mass.
Left side has extra electrons, right needs electrons. Atomic number is the amount of protons from 1-118, atomic mass generally increases with atomic number due to the amount of protons (and usually neutrons) increases.
Name three of the categories of metals.
What are alkali metals, alkaline metals, rare earth metals, transition metals, and post-transition metals?
An element in group 17 on the periodic table.
What is a halogen?
Al + S8 ---> Al2S3
16. 3. 8.
I am valuable, I am sleek.
I turn glass pink and it looks chic.
What is Gold?
