Odd one out. Sulphur, mercury, iron, gold. Sulphur (because it is a non-metal) or mercury (because it is a liquid).

Learning outcomes Success criteria Be able to use the Periodic Table to obtain information about the properties of an element. You can classify an element as a metal or non-metal. You can identify a “group” in the Periodic Table. You can name an element which is likely to have similar chemical properties to another named element. You can describe two examples of chemical properties which are shared by elements in a particular group of the Periodic Table. You can identify the following groups: Alkali Metals Transition Metals Halogens Noble Gases
