Periodic Table of Elements (PTE)
1. know the difference between periods (horizontal, rows) and groups/families (groups and
families are both names of the columns)
2. know how many periods are on the PTE
3. know how many groups/families are on the PTE
4. be able to locate the following families: Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Transition Metals,
Halogens, and Noble Gases
5. know what a valence electron is
6. know how many valence electrons are in the families of: Alkali Metals (1), Alkaline Earth Metals
(2), Halogens (7), and Noble Gases (8, except Helium is 2)
7. know what similarities can be found among elements of the same family/group
8. know what similarities can be found among elements of the same period
Metric
9. know that bases are different than prefixes (in a T-chart, list the bases on one side and the
prefixes on the other)
10. the International System of Measurement (SI system) has kilograms as a base for mass, while
the metric system has grams as a base for mass.
11. the 6 prefixes listed on the second foldable (kilo-, hecto-, deca-, [base], deci-, centi-, milli-)
12. the multiplication factor for each prefix (1000, 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001)
