The Periodic Table

We have been studying the organization of the elements in the Periodic Table. The elements are arranged in Groups and Periods according to their physical and chemical properties (the periodicity of certain properties). These properties include atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energy, electronegativity, and electron affinity. We added these properties to a copy of the Periodic Table which will be referenced for future class work.

HW: Students were provided a handout regarding the element groups and their properties. Using this handout, color code the Periodic Table for the nine groups. The elements included in a particular group should be shaded with a chosen color. On the back of the sheet, create a legend using the chosen colors, the group name, and a brief description of the group.
