PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS: GET THE TABLE ORGANIZED IN TIME!

The periodic table is a chart of the chemical elements grouped by order of their
increasing atomic number. They are grouped into classes containing elements with common
properties, such as rows or columns. With regard to its scientific application, the periodic
table is fundamental. However, the periodic table is broken in this simulation. Some of the
elements have fallen out where my aim is to figure out where a variety of fallen-out elements
belong by analyzing the characteristics of the elements directly, observing their flame color,
and monitoring trends in atomic properties.

In the beginning, I was introduced to how elements in the periodic table can be
divided into three groups, including metals, non-metals, and metalloids. Shiny, ductile, and
good conductors of heat and electricity are metals. Non-metals are dull, weak conductors of
electricity and heat. Finally, a combination of metal properties and non-metal properties is
called metalloids.

The fallen elements are Ca, P, Cu, and Na, which I tested for their metallic properties,
including their shininess, electrical conductivity, and ductility. Using the Bunsen burner and
other tools, I observe their flame colors by testing the metal ion solution. In the table below,
the result of the flame test is shown:

SAMPLE FLAME COLOR

Sodium chloride (NaCl)

(Yellow)

Copper(II) chloride (CuCl2)

(Green)

Calcium chloride (CaCl2)

(Orange)
 Furthermore, through observation, the increasing number of protons makes the atomic
radii turn smaller. In contrast, the increasing number of electrons is the reason for the
increase in the atomic radius. As well as, the energy of ionization increases when the atomic
radius decreases. And by these observations, I am able to allocate the right trends containing
the right directions among groups and periods for atomic properties.

In summary, the above is done with essential methods needed to figure out the
characteristics and properties of an element sufficiently to organize them properly. And by
these interactions in this simulation, I was able to obtain enough knowledge of the periodic
table. I used the fell out elements to be placed appropriately back.
