1. Periodic Table Foldable

2. Directions  Draw a line across each mark so you have 8 sections  Cut the first two papers along the line  stop about 1-2 centimeters before the edge of the paper.  Label each flap as follows:  Alkali Metals – Group 1  Alkaline Earth Metals – Group 2  The Boron Group – Group 3  The Carbon Group – Group 4  The Nitrogen Group – Group 5  The oxygen group – Group 6  Halogens – Group 7  Noble Gases – Group 8

3. Alkali Metals  Flap 1: Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium  Flap 2:  1 electron in the outer shell  Soft and silvery metals  Very reactive, esp. with water  Conduct electricity  Video Video

4. Alkaline Earth Metals  Flap 1: Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, Radium  Flap 2:  2 electrons in the outer shell  White and malleable  Reactive, but less than Alkali metals  Conduct electricity  Video Video

5. Boron Group  Flap 1: Boron, Aluminum, Gallium, Indium, Thallium  Flap 2:  3 electrons in the outer shell  Contains four metals, one metalloid

6. Carbon Group  Flap 1: Carbon, Silicon, Germanium, Tin, Lead  Flap 2:  4 electrons in the outer shell  Contains metals, metalloids, and a non-metal Carbon (C)

7. Nitrogen Group  Flap 1: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Arsenic, Antimony, Bismuth  Flap 2:  5 electrons in the outer shell  Can share electrons to form compounds  Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals

8. Oxygen Group  Flap 1: Oxygen, Sulfur, Selenium, Tellurium, Polonium  Flap 2:  6 electrons in the outer shell  Contains metals, metalloids, and non-metals  Reactive

9. Halogens  Flap 1: Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine  Flap 2:  7 electrons in the outer shell  All are non-metals  Very reactive are often bonded with elements from Group 1  Video Video

10. Noble Gases  Flap 1: Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon  Flap 2:  Exist as gases  Non-metals  8 electrons in the outer shell = Full  Helium (He) has only 2 electrons in the outer shell = Full  Not reactive with other elements
