Think Pair Share

• Students need to identify the section of the periodic table that contains non-metals.
• Students need to determine if Section A of the provided periodic table contains metals or non-metals.

Literacy Task

• Mendeleev created the periodic table in 1869, organizing elements by atomic mass.
• He left gaps for undiscovered elements and predicted their properties.
• A French chemist discovered an element (gallium) with properties similar to Mendeleev's predictions.
• The table provided shows the melting points of different samples of gallium.
• Calculate the mean melting point for the samples.

Metallic Lattice

• The metallic lattice consists of positive ions and delocalized electrons.
• Delocalized electrons can move freely throughout the metal, allowing for the transfer of energy.

Independent Task

• Students need to categorize properties (conductor, insulator, shiny, etc.) as belonging to metals, non-metals, or both.
• Identify if an unknown element is a metal or non-metal, based on its properties and explain.
• Name a metal that rusts.

Groups

• The numbers along the table represent the group number.
• Groups are arranged vertically.

Elements in Group 1 (The Alkali Metals)

• Lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium are alkali metals.
• They are very reactive and are rarely found in their elemental form.
• Francium is especially reactive and only exists in small amounts on Earth.
• Alkali metals are soft and typically float on water.

Group 1 Reactivity

• Alkali metals are stored in oil to prevent reactions with oxygen in the air.
• Alkali metals react with water, forming alkaline compounds.

Group 1 + Water

• The general equation for group 1 metals reacting with water is metal + water → metal hydroxide + hydrogen.
• Additional equations need to be completed for sodium and potassium.

Check for Understanding

• Describe the trend in melting points across a period in a provided dataset.
• Compare the trends in melting points across two different periods.

Exam Style Question

• The bar chart shows the melting points of titanium, zirconium and hafnium.
• Describe the pattern shown in the graph.
• Estimate the melting point of zirconium from the graph.

The Halogens

• Elements in group 7 are halogens.
• They are non-metals and are highly reactive.
• Fluorine is the most reactive halogen, and astatine is the least.

Appearance and State of Halogens

• Predict the state of halogen elements at room temperature.

Group 7 Displacement Reactions

• The more reactive element in Group 7 can displace a less reactive element from its compound.
• Examples of displacement reactions are given for chlorine displacing bromine and chlorine not displacing fluorine.

Apply Learning

• Complete the following reactions using displacement patterns:
  • potassium bromide + iodine →
  • lithium bromide + chlorine →
  • lithium astatide + fluorine → etc.

Check for Understanding

• Complete the table about reactions between halogen water and potassium halide.

The Noble Gases

• The noble gases are in group 0.
• They are colorless, odorless, and unreactive.
• Examples include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.

Group O and Trends

• Explain the trend between boiling point and the atomic mass as you go down the noble gases.

Check for Understanding

• Categorize properties (low melting point, etc.) as physical or chemical.
• Differentiate between physical and chemical properties with examples from the given dataset.
• Predict if xenon would react with nitrogen and explain.
• Predict the boiling point of krypton given the boiling points for other noble gases.

How do Other Metals React with Acid?

• Anna performed an experiment to investigate the reactivity of various metals (magnesium, zinc, iron, and lead) with acid.

Forming Salts

• Acids react with metals to produce a salt and hydrogen gas.
• The general word equation for this reaction is metal + acid → salt + hydrogen.
• An example of a reaction between calcium and hydrochloric acid is calcium chloride + hydrogen.
• Describe how hydrogen gas can be tested for.
