Location on the Table
Elements in group 1 are called:
This group on the periodic table is completely nonreactive.
These two elements commonly combine to form a househod staple: table salt.
What is sodium (group 1) and chlorine (group 7)
The name of the group that contains xenon.
What is noble gases?
The only group on the periodic table that contains elements in all three phases (solid liquid and gas). (Bonus for naming the phases!)
What is the halogens in group 17. Gas: fluorine and chlorine, liquid: bromine, solid: iodine and astatine.
What is magnesium?
The groups on the periodic table that contain the transition metals:
What is groups 3 - 12?
Alkali metals are known for their low melting points and highly reactive nature. Name another property common to all alkali metals.
What is their appearance? (Soft, shiny, typically silver in color when freshly cut) or What is the fact that they are never found unbonded in nature.
This element can take many forms, including graphite and diamond. It is also found in all living organisms.
What is carbon?
These seven elements are metalloids:
What is boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and polonium
Explain why the alkali metals of group 1 must be stored in oil.
What is their extremely reactive nature (they can react explosively with water vapor in air).
These two properties of (most) metals make them perfect material to make electrical wires.
What is conductivity and malleability or ductility.
The nonmetals are located here on the periodic table.
On the right side, with hydrogen on the top left corner.
What is the general trend in reactivity as you move down Group 17 (halogens) of the periodic table?
What is reactivity decreases as you move down the group? (Fluorine is the most reactive, astatine is least reactive.)
Arsenic, though toxic, has some important uses. Name one such application.
What is its use in pesticides or some medications?
