1. Periodic Table Folder

2. Day 1 - Construction
Today, we will cut out and glue all the parts in to the Periodic Table Folder.
Here is an overview:
Title Page – Your name, class period, title and design
Page 1 – Atomic Structure Review
Page 2 – Bohr Model and Valence Electrons
Page 3 – Arranging the Periodic Table
Page 4 – Metals, Nonmetals and Metalloids
Page 5 – Families of the Periodic Table

3. Setting up your folder…
Each person needs 2 pieces of construction paper of the same color.
Fold them in half and glue along the inner edge to create a folder/book. *Watch as I do it first and then copy what I do.
Open the folder and number the pages in the bottom corner.

4. Setting up your folder…
For page 1, NEATLY cut out the boxes/sections on your paper. Do not lose any of the pieces!
Create an organized display with the boxes and then glue them in place.
Use my example to help guide you.
Repeat this process for the rest of the pages – BUT ONLY DO ONE PAGE AT A TIME!

5. Day 2 – Page 1-2 and Title Page
Fill in the blanks for the Atomic Structure Review (page 1) and Bohr Model Review (top of page 2).
Title Page should include:
Your Name
Class Period
Title – “Periodic Table Folder”
Include artwork relating to the Periodic Table
Color and Creativity

6. Day 3 – Complete Pages 2-3
Today, we will complete pages 2 and 3 together (notes).
We will start on page 3, go back to Valence Electrons on page 2, then finish page 3.

7. Fathers of the Periodic Table
Mendeleev - Arranged the Periodic Table by the Atomic Mass in 1867.
Moseley - Arranged the Periodic Table by the Atomic Number in 1913.

8. Groups and Periods Column = Group or Family
Columns are vertical and there are 18 columns on the Periodic Table
Row = Period
Rows are horizontal and there are 7 rows on the Periodic Table
*Number the rows on your Periodic Table
PAGE 3

9. What are Valence Electrons?
Valence Electrons – The number of electrons on the outer ring.
How many valence electrons do these elements have?
PAGE 2

10. Valence Electron Shortcut
How many valence electrons do these elements have?
What else do they have in common?
What is their group number?
PAGE 2

11. Valence Electron Shortcut
The last number of the group number equals the number of Valence Electrons.
Group Number
Valence Electrons 1 2 13 3 14 4 15 5 16 6 17 7 18 8
*The shortcut does not apply to groups

12. Color-Coding the Periodic Table
Color the Periodic Table based on whether the element is a Solid, Liquid or Gas.
PAGE 3

13. Synthetic Elements
Synthetic elements are man-made and do not naturally occur in nature.
Mark these elements with a small black dot in the top right corner of the box.

14. Day 4 – Page 4
Today, we will complete Page 4 together (notes) and learn about the properties of metals, nonmetals and metalloids.
Then, you will color code the Periodic Table based on where the metals, nonmetals and metalloids are located.

15. Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
Nonmetals are on the RIGHT of the stair-step
Metalloids (or Semi-Metals) TOUCH the stair-step
Metals are to the LEFT of the stair-step
*Draw the Stair-step
PAGE 4

16. Exceptions to the rule…
Aluminum is the only metal that touches the stair-step.
Hydrogen is the only
nonmetal on the metal side
PAGE 4

17. Vocabulary
Conductor – has the ability to transfer heat or electricity to another object.
Semi-Conductor – has the conductivity between a conductor and an insulator.
Insulator – does not have the ability to transfer heat and electricity.
PAGE 4

18. Properties of Metals Most are Solids Luster (Shininess) Malleability
Ductility
Good Conductors
PAGE 4

19. Properties of Nonmetals
Dull (not shiny)
Brittle (breaks easily)
Poor Conductivity
Good Insulators
Most are Gases at
Room Temp
PAGE 4

20. Properties of Metalloids
Have properties of both metals and nonmetals
Most are Solid (like metals)
Dull (like nonmetals)
Brittle (like nonmetals)
Semi-conductors
Example: computer chip made of Silicon
PAGE 4

21. Color-Coding the Periodic Table
Color code the Periodic Table based on whether an element is a Metal, Nonmetal or Metalloid.
PAGE 4

22. Day 5 – Page 5
Today, we will complete Page 5 together (notes) and learn about the families on the Periodic Table.
We will also color code the families together based on where they are located on the Periodic Table.

23. Families on the Periodic Table
Elements on the periodic table can be grouped into families bases on their chemical properties.
Each family has a specific name to differentiate it from the other families in the periodic table.
Elements in each family
react differently with
other elements.

24. ALKALI METALS Group 1 Properties: Solid metals
Soft, silvery, and shiny
Very reactive, especially with water
*Hydrogen is NOT in this family (it is a non-metal) – do NOT color the box!
Color this family RED.

25. ALKALINE EARTH METALS Group 2 Properties: Solid metals
White, silvery, and malleable
Reactive, but less than Alkali metals
Color this family ORANGE.

26. TRANSITION METALS Groups 3-12 Properties:
Solid metals with a variety of common uses.
Least Reactive Metal Family
Color this family YELLOW.

27. Groups 13-16
These elements are very different and are not in a family.
Color them GREEN.

28. HALOGENS Group 17 Properties: All Non-metals
Very reactive – MOST Reactive Nonmetal Family
Often bond with Group 1 (Alkali Metals)
Color this family BLUE.

29. NOBLE GASES Group 18 Properties: All gases All Non-metals
LEAST reactive Nonmetal Family
Elements want to be “alone” and do NOT form compounds.
Color this family PURPLE.

30. Lanthanides and Actinides
Properties:
“Rare Earth Metals”
Most are Synthetic (man-made)
Some are Radioactive
Silver, white, or gray metals
Color them PINK.
