Elements of the Periodic Table can have only two different types of symbols:

one capital letter e.g. hydrogen H

one capital + one lower case letter: e.g. hafnium Hf

Elements never have two capital letters (that's a formula for a compound, e.g. HF is not hafnium, it is hydrogen fluoride) or two lower case letters. But we write the name of the element in lower case e.g. hydrogen.

Q: How do you think you could organise the elements into a neat, logical system?

THINK-PAIR-SHARE

How well did you do?

This Hank Green special tells the story of how it all came about..

TIME TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS PUZZLE IS PUT TOGETHER..

Let's build our own Periodic Table!

1. Colour each GROUP a different colour to show they are

all from the one family.

1. Add the group name to the top of each group, plus its

scientific name (eg alkali metals) and write some characteristics

of this group at the bottom (see second sheet)

NOW ADD THE NUMBER OF SHELLS THAT EACH PERIOD HAS👇🏼

You should have something like this as your final puzzle

THE ELEMENTS ARE ORGANISED ACCORDING TO THEIR 'PROPERTIES'.

Think about these properties..

We will discuss the physical properties of a range of elements to understand how elements are classified eg: solid, liquid, shiny (lustre), malleable (bendable), conducting etc..

Think water is neutral, pure and safe?

Not when you add a Group 1 metals!
