1. Chapter 1 Activity 2 “Elements and Their Properties”
Aluminum (Al)
Copper (Cu)
Iron (Fe)
Magnesium (Mg)
Carbon (C)
Zinc (Zn)

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

3. The Periodic Table of Elements
Color in the Metalloids Brown B C Mg Al Si Fe Cu Zn Ge As Sb Te At

4. Color Code Your Periodic Table—Metals/Nonmetals/Metalloids

5. Actual Periodic Table

6. New Periodic Table Song

7. Are you ready to sing???? Terms to know….. 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.
Play Mendeleev song after the Periodic Table definition.

is the way the substance behaves when it interacts with something else.

11. How would you describe them?

12. Physical property
-- 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

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

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

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

16. 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??

17. What can you describe about this substance?
Could you have predicted that this substance would do this when you react it with NaNO3?

18. Of course not!!!!!

19. Chemical property --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

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