Unit 3: Atoms and Elements: Periodic Table Project name:_______________________ period: _________________ Dimitri Mendeleev, the father of the periodic table says, “Complete the following activities to help you find your way around the periodic table!” 1. Identify: 6 C Carbon 12.0 Word Definition Atomic Number Chemical Symbol Element Name Mass Number Protons and Neutrons Holds up to 2 electrons Holds up to 8 electrons Holds up to 18 electrons* * But…8 electrons is considered “full”! Electrons on the outer energy level are called Valence Electrons. Word Box Nucleus 3rd Energy Level 1st Energy Level 2nd Energy Level Unit 3: Atoms and Elements: Periodic Table Project 2. Color: r Periodic Table a. Color the NONMETALS yellow b. Color the METALLOIDS green c. Color the METALS blue d. Color the CHEMICAL SYMBOL red if it is a solid at room temperature e. Color the CHEMICAL SYMBOL blue if it is a liquid at room temperature f. Color the CHEMICAL SYMBOL green if it is a gas at room temperature r Make a key for each color used. r Create a chart with at least three properties and an example of non-‐metals, metalloids and metals. Complete on back of periodic table. 3. Label: r Label each PERIOD r Label each GROUP 4. Patterns: r Complete each card following these instructions. We will use the cards to find patterns in the periodic table. 1. Complete the periodic table square for each element. 2. Determine the number of protons, neutrons and electrons for each element. Atomic Number = # of protons Mass Number – Atomic Number = # of Neutrons # protons = # electrons 3. Create a Bohr Model for each element. 4. Draw a Lewis Structure for each element. 1 He Helium 2 P = __1___ N = __0__ E = __1__ He Unit 3: Atoms and Elements: Periodic Table Project Dimitri Mendeleev, the father of the periodic table says, “Let’s look for patterns that helped me classify the elements! Follow the instructions to complete this activity!” 5. Color the small periodic table square in the upper left of each card for every element: non-‐metals = yellow, metalloids = green and metals = blue. 6. Outline the small periodic table square in the upper left of each card for every element as listed below: Green = Li and Na Pink = O and S Black = Be and Mg Purple = F and Cl Orange = B and Al Red = C and Si Brown = N and P Yellow = He, Ne and Ar 7. Cut out each card and arrange by atomic number as shown below: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 8. Staple the cards in order onto a piece of construction paper. 9. Write a title and your name on your mini-‐periodic table. 10. Use the mini-‐periodic table to discover the “hidden” patterns and trends by completing the Looking for Periodic Table Patterns Activity. ______ B _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ ______ Li _____________ ______ B ______ He _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ S _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ S ______ Ne _____________ ______ Li ______ C _____________ ______ He ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ Ne ______ P _____________ ______ C ______ Mg _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ Mg P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ P ______ H _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ H ______ N _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ ______ Al _____________ ______ N ______ Ar _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ Be _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ Be ______ F _____________ ______ Al ______ Si _____________ ______ Ar ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ F ______ Na _____________ ______ Si ______ O _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ O P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ Na ______ Cl _____________ ______ P = ______ N = ______ E = ______ Cl
