Hydrogen (H); non-metal or gas
400
Name 3 physical properties of solid non-metals
brittle, many colors, insulators (do not conduct heat/electricity)
400
Dobereiner and Mendeleev based their early attempts at a periodic table on increasing _?_. These attempts put MOST of the elements with similar properties in the same _?_.
atomic mass; row
400
The modern periodic table is arranged by increasing _?_. This gives the table its _?_ which means the regular and repeating pattern of chemical and physical properties because now elements in vertical columns have the same number of _?_
atomic number; periodicity; valence e-

Look at your periodic table. Beginning at Hydrogen, count down 4 elements and then over 1. Give the group #, period #, classification, Lewis Dot Structure, Outermost Energy level and properties of this element.
The element is Calcium (Ca). Group number = 2; period number = 4; classification is metal (specifically alkaline earth metal); Lewis Dot structure is Ca with 2 dots; Outermost Energy level = 4; properties = very reactive, silver/white metal
500
Elements in Group 17 are called _?_. This term means, "salt-former". Elements in Group 1 are called _?_ and elements in Group 2 are called _?_
Halogens; Alkali Metals; Alkaline Earth Metals

Let's imagine that you have a sample of a solid substance and that you experiment with it. Your results are that the substance does not conduct heat or electricity. How many valence electrons do you think this substance must have? 1,2,3, or 4? Why?
4. It can't be a metal, so it can't be 1, 2 or 3.
500
Mendeleev was able to predict properties of elements that had yet to be discovered. How did he do it? (We did the same thing in lab...)
Looked at the 4 elements on the periodic table that would surround the undiscovered element and average their properties together
500
Every row (called a _?_ or series) except the first one begins with a _?_ and ends with a _?_. This is an example of _?_
period; metal; nonmetal; periodicity

What is "periodic" about the periodic table? Why is the periodic table, periodic?
Regular and repeating pattern of physical and chemical properties; Each group has the same number of valence e- so members of that group behave alike
