Chapter 5
Essential Question & Learning Goals
Essential Questions:
How is the arrangement of the elements on the periodic table useful to scientists?
Learning Goals:
By the end of this unit, you should be able to:
 Describe how Mendeleev arranged the elements in the periodic table.
 Explain how the predictions Mendeleev made and the discovery of new
elements demonstrated the usefulness of his new table.
 Describe the arrangement of elements in the modern periodic table of
the elements.
 Identify the general properties of the metals, nonmetals and metalloids.
 Describe how properties of the elements change across the periodic
table of the elements.
 Describe the properties of the alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals,
halogens and noble gases.

Cut along the dashed lines and glue into page 48
Create a cover page for the unit on page 49. The cover page must contain the title of the
unit, pictures related to the content, and be colored edge-to-edge. Look in your book at
chapter 5 if you need ideas of what you could draw.
Set up the AHA connections pages on pages 50 and 51.
