a) P and Pr both have one electron each. Pr has a bigger atomic size.
b) Od, Ri, and E are in the same series as P, C, and I. In terms of atomic size,
P is the biggest while C is the smallest.
c) E is a metal while I is non-metal. Od is smaller than Ri in atomic size.
d) O has a bigger atomic size than E in the same group. Y is also a bigger atom than C in the
same group.

e) R, T, Pe are in the same period as Pr. R is more non-metallic than Pe but is more metallic
than T.

Guide Questions:

Q1. What is the word formed?

- Periodic Property
Q2. What does it mean? Explain.
- The physical and chemical properties of elements are related to their electronic
configuration particularly the outer shell configurations. The electronic
configuration of valence shells of any two elements in a given period is not the
same.This is called periodic property.

Q3. How do you relate the periodic property to Mendeleev’s work?

- Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were
related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups
of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.

Activity 7. “Sinetch Itey”

Blind Item: Scientists, Synthesized Elements and Nuclear Reactions

Direction: Read the following clues that determine the blind item. Refer to the icons if it’s
a scientist, an element or Nuclear Reaction.
1.An English physicist who demonstrated that the atomic number (the number of
protons in an atom) determines most of the properties of an element. He began his study
of radioactivity in Rutherford’s laboratory but later decided to explore more on X-rays

- Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley

2.In 1940, these 3 scientists discovered an element with atomic number of 85 (Astatine-
from Greek
word “astatos” meaning unstable) using a cyclotron.

- Berkeley scientists, Dale Corson, Alexander MacKenzie, and Emilio Segrè

3. An American physicist who synthesized an element with atomic number of 43

(Technetium – a Greek word “technetos” meaning artificial – the first man-made element)
using a linear particle accelerator.

- Carlo Perrier

4.In 1930s, the heaviest known element is Uranium. In 1940, this scientist proved that an
element having an atomic number of 93 could be created. He used a particle accelerator
to bombard uranium with neutrons and created an
element with an atomic number of 93 which he named Neptunium.

- Edwin McMillan

5. At the end of 1940s, element-94 was synthesized by these four scientist. They
bombarded uranium with deuterons
(particles composed of a proton and a neutron) in a cyclotron. Element-94 was named
plutonium.

- Glenn T. Searborg
- Joseph W. Kennedy
- Arthur Wahl
- Edwin McMillan

6.The first successful nuclear transmutation reaction was done by this scientist. He
bombarded
nitrogen nuclei with alpha particles to form oxygen nuclei.
 - Ernest Rutherford

7. An element discovered through studies in radioactivity; element-61 was discovered as

decay product of the fission of uranium.

- Promethium

8.A nuclear reaction involving the transformation of one element or isotope into another
element. It
happens when a nucleus reacts with a subatomic particle to produce a more massive
nucleus.

- Fusion

9.An element discovered through studies in radioactivity; element-87 was discovered as

a breakdown product of uranium.

- Francium

10. Major advancement in nuclear reactions took place in 1932. This advancement uses a
projectile of high-energy particles.

- Nuclear reaction
