How comfortable are you with understanding the Periodic Table and understanding the relationships between its elements?
Extremely confident!
I feel good but not 100%
I remember only a little...
What is the periodic table?
3
The Periodic Table is divided into groups and periods.
Groups run up and down.
Periods run side to side.
REMEMBER: "The groups! The groups! The groups are in columns! The rows! The rows! The rows are periods!
4
Elements: pure substances, on the Periodic Table
Compounds: two or more elements; parts on the Periodic Table
Mixtures: two or more substances MIXED; not on Periodic Table
5
Multiple Select
Choose all the items that are elements.
NaCl (table salt)
Sulfur
O2
Water
Air
6
Groups are also called "families"
REMEMBER*: Groups are in "columns!"
Groups share common characteristics; i.e. All group 1 elements explode in water. All group 18 elements DON'T react.
Fluorine and Chlorine are in the same GROUP (17), SO, they share the same PROPERTIES.
7
Multiple Choice
Groups run:
up and down
left to right

NaCl (table salt)
Sulfur
O2
water
Air
11
Groups: Columns; up & down, similar properties. ⬆️ ⬇️
Periods: Rows; left to right; increasing atomic ➡️ ⬅️
12
Multiple Choice
Which two elements share common characteristics based on the periodic table?
Sodium and Magnesium
Chlorine and Sulfur
Argon and Neon
Calcium and Bromine
13
Multiple Choice
Which element is similar to Li?
Be
K
14
Periods run in rows.
Each period has the same number of electron shells. i.e. Hydrogen and Helium have 1 electron shell. Lithium and Boron have 2.
This means each period has the same number of ENERGY LEVELS!
15
Multiple Choice
Which element is similar to Mg?
Ca
B
16
Multiple Choice
How are the 3 elements in the picture organized on the periodic table?
Niobium and cobalt have the same energy levels.
Cobalt and scandium have the same energy levels.
Cobalt and scandium have the same characteristics.
Niobium and cobalt have the same characteristics.
17
Multiple Choice
Which element is similar to B?
C
Al
18
The periodic table is divided into 3 types of chemicals
They are in alphabetical order: 1. Metal, 2. Metalloid, 3. Nonmetal
Metals are the largest group
Metalloids are the smallest group between metals and nonmetals.
19
Multiple Choice
Which element is similar to F?
Ne
Cl
20
Multiple Choice
Metals are on the:
Left side
Right Side
Stairstep
21
Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice
Which choice shows the elements in order from most reactive to least reactive. Sr, K, Cl, P
Sr, K, Cl, P
K, Cl, Sr, P
K,P, Sr, Cl
K, Sr, P, Cl
28
Metals are on the left side of the table.
Characteristics include: malleable, ductile, shiny, and conductive (electricity and heat)
29
Metalloids are on the stairstep between metals and nonmetals.
Characteristics include: somewhat malleable, a little ductile, somewhat shiny, and conductive at high temperatures
30
Nonmetals are on the right side of the table.
Dull, brittle, non-conductors
31
Metals: ductile, malleable, luster, solids
Metalloids: properties of metals & nonmetals
Nonmetals: brittle & dull
32
Multiple Choice
A student is studying a mystery substance. It breaks easily. It has a very dull luster. It doesn't conduct any electricity. What is the most likely substance this is?
Metal
Metalloid
Nonmetal
33
Multiple Choice
Students in Mrs. Clark's science class are investigating a substance that has the following properties
-shiny
-bends easily
-hard, not easily broken
Based on these properties how would you classify the substance?
metal
nonmetal
metalloid
34
Multiple Choice
The same student works with a new substance. He concludes it conducts electricity very well. It has a very shiny luster. When he hammers it, it simply dents and flattens. What is the most likely substance type?
Metal
Metalloid
Nonmetal
35
Multiple Choice
Which best describes the sequence of the elements in Period 5 of the periodic table?
highly reactive gases, relatively nonreactive metals, metalloids, very nonreactive gases, nonreactive nonmetals
highly reactive metals, relatively nonreactive metals, metalloids, reactive nonmetals, nonreactive gases
nonreactive gases, metalloids, nonreactive metals, highly reactive metals, highly reactive gases
nonreactive gases, nonreactive metals, highly reactive metals, metalloids,
reactive nonmetals, reactive gases
36
Multiple Choice
The third substance the student works with is a little brittle. It is just a little shiny. When he tries to conduct electricity through it at first, it doesn't conduct, but upon heating up, it does start to allow electrons to flow. What is the most likely substance type?
Metal
Metalloid
Nonmetal
