1. Learning Outcomes I have developed my knowledge of the Periodic Table by considering the properties and uses of a variety of elements relative to their positions

3. The Periodic Table

4. An element is a substance which can’t be broken down into anything simpler. Elements contain only one type of atom, e.g. copper contains only copper atoms and carbon contains only atoms of carbon. All the elements are listed in a table called the Periodic Table.

5. Metals and Non-metals The metals are on the left hand side of the zig-zag line. The non-metals are on the right hand side of the zig-zag line. Q1. Are most of the elements metals or non-metals? Q2. What are the metals, between groups 2 and 3, called?

6. Q1.What is an element? Q2.Where do we find a list of the elements? Q3.All the elements have a symbol. Why do you think these symbols are used? Q4.Find the symbols for the following elements: carbon, hydrogen, magnesium and sulphur. Q5.Find the names of the following elements from their chemical symbol: He, K, Ca, Cl and Al. Q6.Use the Periodic Table to crack this code. Write the message in English. Scandium+Iodine+(EuropiumUranium)+Nitrogen+Cerium Iodine+SulphurFluorine+Uranium+Nitrogen Elements

7. Elements – What do they look like? Your teacher will show you about 20 elements (tray 1). Locate them in your periodic table – which are metals and which are non-metals? What do the metals all have in common visually?

8. Groups Elements are arranged in groups. A group is a column in the Periodic Table. Elements in the same group react in a similar way. We are now going to look at groups 1,7 and 0 more closely. Collect a copy of the Periodic Table.

9. Group 1 – Alkali Metals Group 1 metals are called the alkali metals. The alkali metals are very reactive and need to be stored under oil. Your teacher will demonstrate the alkali metals reacting with water. Q1.What are the group 1 elements called? Q2.Why are the group 1 elements stored under oil? Q3.Colour the group 1 elements on your Periodic Table blue.

10. Group 7 – The Halogens Group 7 elements are called the Halogens. The Halogens are a group of reactive non-metals. Q1.What are the group 7 elements called? Q2.Are the halogens reactive? Q3.Colour the group 7 elements on your Periodic Table green. Q4.Can you give a use for the halogen called chlorine?

11. The Noble Gases Group 0 are called the Noble Gases The Noble gases are very unreactive. Some are coloured, when electricity flows through them, and can be used as signs. Put a key in your periodic table so that you can identify the alkali metals, the halogens and the noble gases. Q1.What are the group 0 elements called? Q2.Are the group 0 elements reactive? Q3.Colour the group 0 elements on your Periodic Table red.

12. Solids, Liquids and Gases Most of the elements are solids. There are two elements which are liquid at room temperature, they are bromine, which is a non-metal and mercury which is a metal. There are 11 elements which are gases at room temperature. They are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the noble gases. Q1. Name the elements which are liquid at room temperature. Q2.Name the elements which are gases at room temperature.

13. Element Card Sort Collect a set of element card sorts and match the name to the symbol

15. Summary An element is a substance which can’t be broken down into anything simpler. All the elements are listed in the Periodic Table. A group is a column in the Periodic Table. Elements in the same group react in a similar way. Group 1 are called the alkali metals. Group 7 are called the halogens. Group 0 are called the noble gases. Most of the elements are metals. The metals between groups 2 and 3 are called the transition metals.
