Periodic Table Day 1
Create A Table
Today we officially introduce you to the periodic table. Far and away, it is the most important tool we have in chemistry.
The State of Utah tells us that they want you to know these things about the periodic table:
a. Identify similarities in chemical behavior of elements within a group.
b. Generalize trends in reactivity of elements within a group to trends in other groups.
c. Compare the properties of elements (e.g., metal, nonmetallic, metalloid) based on their position in the periodic table.
If you missed this class, watch the two videos "Mendeleev Song" and "Periodic Table: Groups and Trends", take notes on both. Hand in both sets of notes for credit.

For Your Viewing Pleasure:
Not a bad review of the History of the Periodic Table: This lady does a pretty good job with the groups and sections on the periodic table...although I don't agree with all of her descriptions. Where this video really does well is with the trends on the table. Pay good attention to them. This video goes into deeper detail than you need, but the graphics are cool. You'll just have to watch to find out......... |
