Physical Science
Week 2
Periodic Table of the Elements
Monday Warm Up (IAN 102)
• As a group at your table:
• Take the deck of cards and arrange
them in a logical order.
• Each person write an explanation for
your system of order.
Cornell Notes: Periodic Table
• Periodic: Something that occurs or repeats
at regular intervals
Periodic Law
• The law that states that the repeating
chemical and physical properties of
elements change periodically with the
atomic numbers of the elements.
Periodic Table
• Rows are called periods.
• Columns are called groups or families and
share chemical and physical properties.
• Each square has element name, chemical
symbol, atomic number and atomic mass.
• Elements are arranged from lowest to
highest atomic number.
Families or Groups
• Alkali Metals (Group 1)
• Alkaline – Earth Metals (Group 2)
• Transition Metals (Group 3-12)
– Lanthanides: shiny, reactive transition metals
– Actinides: radioactive, unstable, 95+ not natural

Tuesday Warm Up (IAN 102)
• Find Gold on the periodic table. What is
its atomic number, atomic mass,
chemical symbol, family, and period?

Wednesday Warm Up (IAN 102)
• Compare and contrast metals,
metalloids, and nonmetals.
• Use a triple Venn diagram.
Graphic Organizer
• Create a graphic organizer that shows all the
families on the periodic table. Include:

Other shared properties
List of elements
Thursday Warm Up (IAN 102)
• Compare and contrast noble gases and
alkali metals.
Alien Periodic Table
• Use the clues given to complete the Alien
Periodic Table.
Friday Warm Up (IAN 102)
• Describe the elements in the halogen
group.
• What are the typical characteristics of
halogens?
Review
• Write 2 questions about the periodic table.
• Quiz your table with your questions.
• Matching: families & characteristics
Periodic Table Quiz
Text p. 338-339
• Background color: metal, nonmetal,
metalloid
• Chemical symbol color: state of matter at
room temperature.
Metals
• Left of zigzag line
• Few valence electrons
• Most are solid at room temperature (except
Mercury)
• Shiny
• Ductile- can stretch into wire
• Good conductors – electric & heat transfer
• Malleable – flatten without shattering
Non Metals
•
•
•
•
•
•
Right of the zigzag line
Almost full valence electron shell
Majority gas at room temperature
Not malleable or ductile
Not shiny
Poor conductors
Metalloids
•
•
•
•
Border the zigzag line
Semiconductors
Half filled valence electron shells
Some properties of metals and some
properties of non-metals
• Boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic,
antimony, tellurium
Chemical symbol
• One capital letter with or without a second
or third small letter
