ACTIVITY NO. 4
THE PERIODIC TABLE
Objectives:
 Identify the parts and components of the periodic table.

 Differentiate metals from nonmetals.

Materials:
 Periodic Table, Pen, Module 4 Lecture Notes

Introduction:
The periodic table is a central tool in helping us to understand regularities in the behavior of elements
and compounds.

In the nineteenth century people noted similarities among various elements and tried to find a pattern of
relationship among them. In 1869 Dimitri Mendeleev of Russia and Lothar Meyer of Germany independently
arranged the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and noted that similarities appeared at intervals. In
1913 Henry Moseley, and English scientist, determined the nuclear charge (atomic numbers) of the elements
and pointed out that the fundamental order of arrangement of the elements should be based on increasing
atomic numbers. In the years to come, theories of atomic structure founded on the work of Rutherford and
Bohr, and other scientists, were able to relate repeated similarities of behavior with structural similarities.

The periodic table is organized in a way to allow us to study and understand the behavior of groups of
elements rather than individual elements. This makes our study more efficient and, at times, helps us to make
predictions about the physical properties of elements that are unsafe, unavailable, or too expensive to work
with in the laboratory.

Vertical columns in the periodic table are usually labeled with a Roman number and a letter. The first
column, for instance, is labeled IA, the second IIA, and so on. Sometimes groups are labeled differently, so
you must examine the periodic table carefully.

Procedure:

A. The Periodic Table

1. Prepare any reference of the periodic table and your Module 4 Lecture SAS.
2. In any paper, copy and answer the blank periodic table in the next page. You may also print the next
page before answering if you find it convenient.
3. Make sure to fill in the periodic table with all the elements (symbols only) and label the groups
pointed out in the illustration.

B. Symbols of Elements
Translate the message hidden message below by providing the correct symbols of the elements.
Practice not to look on your periodic table. You should have memorized the symbols of the different
elements by now.

Example: HydrogenIodine NeonOxygen = HI NeO

1. Iodine Americium CopperTellurium = I Am CuTe

2. Helium LithiumPotassiumEinsteinium Bismuth = He LiKEs Bi

3. NitrogenOxygen CalciumPhosphorusSulfur = NO CaPS

4. SiliconNitrogenOxygen Barium SiliconLanthanum = SiNO Ba SiLa

5. Magnesium CalciumIron Tantalum =Mg CaFe Ta

6. BromineOxygen XenonGermanium = BrO XeGe

7. GermaniumAstatine Germanium Astatine Gold = GeAt GeAt Au

8. Beryllium FluorineArgon = BeFAr

9. MolybdenumRhenium TungstenIndium = MoRe WIn

10. SiliconSulfur HydrogenIodinePhosphorusOxygenNitrogen = SiS HIPON

C. Metals VS Nonmetals
1. Observe the scenario depicted in every illustration in relation to the characteristic being specified.
2. Identify whether it shows metallic or nonmetallic properties.
3. Elaborate and defend your answer.

Example: Metal or Nonmetal

Explanation:

Metals tend to have high melting points

and boiling points suggesting strong
bonds between the atoms.

D. Guide Questions

1. What are metalloids? Enumerate the elements considered to be metalloids.

Metalloids are elements that have the metallic and non metallic property at the same time. The only eight elements
classified as metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, tellurium, astatine, and polonium.

2. What’s the importance of classifying elements by groups?

It makes the people easy to read and can help understand the properties and their compound.

3. Define atomic radius, ionization potential, electron affinity and electronegativity.

Ionization potential is the amount of energy released when an electron is attached to a neutral atom or molecule in the
gaseous state to form a negative ion, and electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an electron is attached
to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion and electronegativity is
the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons when forming a chemical bond.

4. What are the metals that belongs to the “Coinage Metals” group? How are these metals relevant
in our society?
At a bare minimum, the coinage metals are those metallic chemical elements that have traditionally been utilized as
components in coin alloys. Copper, silver, and gold are the three metals that are used to make coins today, and they are
referred to as coinage metals. These metals helped in our money making and in the society in makes the people happy.
