1. Frankie’s Periodic Challenge E14-19

2. Hello Everyone! Mrs. Bhattacharyya told me that you are preparing for your periodic table quiz and I asked if I could help out. Mrs. Bhattacharyya will give you an answer sheet to my challenge. This is where you will record your answers to the following review questions. Each time you answer you will wager some of your points depending on how sure you are of your answer. Never wager all of your points unless you are POSITIVE about an answer. If you are right, you win the points you wagered. If you are wrong, you must subtract that number from your points. Please ask Mrs. Bhattacharyya if you have any questions.

3. Yikes! The periodic table is huge! We have a lot to cover. Let’s get started! Question 1: Does the current periodic table arrange elements according to their atomic number or atomic mass? ** Write your answer, then write the number of points you are willing to wager on this question
