Periodic Table Folder

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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. PAGE 3

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

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

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

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 3-12. PAGE 2

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

43 (Technetium), 61 (Promethium), Synthetic Elements Synthetic elements are man-made and do not naturally occur in nature. The Synthetic Elements have Atomic Numbers: 43 (Technetium), 61 (Promethium), and ALL elements 93 - 118 Mark these elements with a small black dot in the top right corner of the box. PAGE 3

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Lanthanides and Actinides Properties: “Rare Earth Metals” Most are Synthetic (man-made) Some are Radioactive Silver, white, or gray metals Color them PINK. The bottom 2 rows
