1. The Periodic Table Look on the back cover of your book
to use periodic table as a reference.

2. Make a solid black line representing the division between metals and nonmetals
Write: Metals
Write: nonmetals

3. Make sure you write your answers on your worksheet.
Metals
Make sure you write your answers on your worksheet.
increase in reactivity Fr
Increase in reactivity
Properties of Metals
Good conductors of heat and electricity
Malleable - can be hammered into rolled sheets
Ductile - can be drawn into wires
Shiny
High melting and boiling points
High density
Mostly solids

4. Make sure you write your answers on your worksheet.
Nonmetals
Make sure you write your answers on your worksheet.
Reactivity
Nonmetal Properties
Poor conductors of heat and electricity
Dull
Low melting and boiling points
Brittle
Can be solid, liquid or gas

5. Make sure you write your answers on your worksheet.
Metalloids
Make sure you write your answers on your worksheet.
Metalloid Properties
Shiny or dull
Conduct heat and electricity… not as well as metals
Have other properties of metals and nonmetals

6. Periods run down the side and form rows of “periods.”
Write the period numbers down the side of your periodic table and answer the questions on your worksheet. 1 2 3 4
This is period
number 3 which means it has 3 energy levels. 5 6 7

7. Periods represent the number of outer rings
or what scientists call “energy levels” of electrons.
Energy Level 1: H & He
Locate both on your periodic table
electron

8. Periods represent the number of outer rings
or what scientists call “energy levels” of electrons.
Energy Level 2: Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F & Ne
Locate them on your periodic table

9. Periods represent the number of outer rings
or what scientists call “energy levels” of electrons.
Energy Level 3: Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S Cl & Ar
Locate them on your periodic table

10. The group numbers on top form columns for “groups” or “families.”
Write the group numbers across the top of your periodic table and answer the questions on your worksheet. 1 18 2 13 14 15 16 17 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
This is group 1 the alkali group. Families have similar but not identical characteristics
