By the end of this session you will be able to....
Use the periodic table to identify elements based on their symbols.
Recognize how the periodic table can be used to predict the chemical properties of an element.
Locate noble gases, alkali metals, metals and non-metals on the periodic table, and describe their chemical properties.

Noble Gases
The following elements do not react when combined with other elements. These elements are shaded in purple on the period table.

Periodic Table Groups
Elements with similar chemical properties are lined up into groups (columns) on the periodic table. When elements have similar chemical properties it means they react the same way. For example: all Alkali metals explode when mixed with water.
The atomic mass and reactivity of an element increases as you get further down the periodic table.
Because the atomic mass increases, the size of the atoms also increase as they get further down the periodic table.
