    This document provides instructions for a chemistry assignment on periodic patterns in the periodic table. Students are asked to [1] label different parts of the periodic table including group numbers, period numbers, and different families of elements. They are also asked to [2] explain what groups and periods are in terms of valence electrons. Finally, students must [3] annotate their periodic table by finding two similarities between elements in the same group and describe general metallic and non-metallic characteristics.

    Periodic Patterns
    Aim: Understand the terms group and period. Recall the positions of metals and non-
    metals in the Periodic Table. Understand that the Periodic Table is an arrangement of
    elements in order of atomic number. Give examples of periodic patterns.

    Questions:
    Use your textbook or the internet to find websites which will give information about the
    Elements and the Periodic Table and answer the following question.

    1 On the copy of Periodic Table provided, label (or use crayons, and a key, to shade) the
    following parts of the Table:

     Group numbers
     Period numbers
     The alkali metals
     The alkaline earth metals
     The halogens
     The noble gases
     The transition metals
     The division between metals and non-metals

    a. Explain what a group is on the periodic table, mention valence electrons in


    your answer.

    …………………………………………………………………………..................................

    …………………………………………………………………………..................................

    b. Explain what a period is on the periodic table, mention electrons in your


    answer.

    …………………………………………………………………………..................................

    …………………………………………………………………………..................................

    c. For each of the groups of elements you have labelled, find out two similarities
    that each of the elements in the group share. Annotate your periodic table
    with the information you have collected.
    d. Describe the general characteristics of metals and non-metals:

    2. How are the elements of the Periodic Table arranged?

    …………………………………………………………………………..................................

    3. The graph below shows the melting points of the period 2 and period 3 elements.

    The melting points show a periodic pattern. Explain what this means.
