Answer the following in complete sentences.
29. How was the first Periodic Table organized?
30. What two scientists helped to develop the Periodic Table? What did each scientist contribute?
31. What do the Lewis Dot Structures show?
32. What do the Bohr Models show?
33. What is a valence electron?
34. Which of the following pairs would most-likely have similar physical properties and chemical properties? Explain
your answer.
a. Lithium and Selenium
b. Vanadium and Radon
c. Sodium and Potassium
Create Lewis Dot Structures for the following elements. (Remember order and valance electrons)
35. Magnesium (Mg)
36. Chlorine (Cl)
37. Gallium (Ga)
38. Boron (B)
Bohr Models: For each element, write down the number of protons, neutrons and electrons. Fill the number of protons
and neutrons into the nucleus, then color the correct number of electrons for each orbit.
