Nonfiction Reading for Understanding--Physical Science: Chapter 3 Page 74

Your task is to create a booklet that answers the following questions. Each page should be neat and each visual should be detailed/clear. Each page should have a title.

Cover Page: Name and Period

Page 1: Atoms(pages 79-81)

  • Draw a model of an atom and label its parts.
  • Label protons, neutrons, and electrons
  • Define protons, neutrons, and electrons
  • Define atomic number and atomic mass.
  • Give an example of the atomic mass and atomic number of any two elements of the periodic table.

Page 2: Dmitri Mendeleev (pages 77-78)

  • Who is Dmitri Mendeleev?
  • What was his contribution to science?
  • How did he arrange the periodic table of elements, originally and most recent?

Page 3/4: Periodic Table Organization (pages 80—86)

  • How is the modern periodic table organized?
  • What are periods and groups?
  • Draw the outline of a periodic table and label the periods and groups.
  • How do elements react as you move from left to right across the periodic table?
  • Label the most reactive elements on your visual.
  • Label the least reactive elements in your visual.
  • What does each box on a periodic table consist of? Pick one box from the periodic table and label what is in it. (Hint: Fig. 6-page 82)
  • What element has 47protons in its nucleus?

Page 5: Physical and Chemical Properties of Metals (pages 87-91)

  • Draw an outline of the periodic table and label where the metals are located.

Page 6: Properties of Nonmetals (pages 96-101)

  • What physical and chemical properties are found among the nonmetals?
  • How do the physical and chemical properties of the halogens compare with those of the noble gases?
  • Draw an outline of the periodic table and label where the nonmetals are located.

Page 7: Properties of Metalloids (pages 96-101)

  • What are some properties of metalloids?
  • What are three uses of metalloids?
  • What property makes certain metalloids useful as “switches” to turn a small electric current on and off?
  • Draw an outline of the periodic table and label where the metalloids are located.
