Aluminum (Al) Copper (Cu) Iron (Fe) Magnesium (Mg) Carbon (C) Zinc (Zn)

Make sure you have out your colored periodic table in front of you and colored pencils at your disposal. Get ready to color!!!!

Color Code Your Periodic Table—Metals/Nonmetals/Metalloids

Element The Periodic Table is any substance that cannot be broken down any further by chemical processes. There are more than 100 elements in the Periodic Table. is an organized chart of the elements that exist in the universe. It was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian Chemist. Are you ready to sing????

It was developed by Dmitri Mendeleev, a Russian Chemist. is anything that you can describe about something without changing the identity of it. is the way the substance behaves when it interacts with something else.

How would you describe them?

-- is anything that you can describe about something without changing the identity of it. Some examples are  Phase of matter (solid, liquid, or gas)  Color  Odor  Density  Hardness  Melting point  Boiling point  Magnetic properties  Solubility  Electrical conductivity

So here are the metals you tested in Activity 2: Magnesium Mg Iron Fe Zinc Zn Aluminum Al Copper Cu What physical properties do they have in common???

Here are some nonmetals…. Carbon C Sulfur S Phosphorus P Iodine I Chlorine Cl

Here are some metalloids….. Boron B Arsenic As Silicon Si Antimony Sb What do they have in common????

Now let’s switch gears for a moment….. Remember them? Even if you can’t tell them apart by looking at them, what could you do to figure out their differences??

What can you describe about this substance? Could you have predicted that this substance would do this when you react it with NaNO 3 ?

Of course not!!!!!

--is the way the substance behaves when it interacts with something else. Some examples are Flammability/Combustibility Reaction with acid or a base Corrosion Food spoiling

How did the elements you tested react with the acid (HCl)? Copper Iron Magnesium Zinc Aluminum Carbon No reaction Slight reaction reaction No reaction Just by looking at them you could NOT have predicted that they would behave the way they did!!!!

Let’s Reflect….. How can the information in this activity be used in the game that you will create? Write down two questions and their answer in your notebook. Physical properties metalloids nonmetals metals Chemical properties
