1) What different arrangements did your group try during the activity?
My group and I tried many different arrangements. At first we set the elements in by its atomic mass from smallest to greatest. Then we separated each element according to their state matter and also arranged each state of matter by their atomic mass again. After, we looked at the compounds in each element and made rows where there were different types of elements that were similar to other elements because of their compounds. Lastly, we arranged the elements by their atomic number, from smallest to greatest.
2) Why were the Noble Gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, etc) missing from the original group?
The reason why the Noble Gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, etc) were missing from the original group was because scientist had yet not found these elements.
3) Why is the periodic table set-up in its current arrangement? (Think about your final Periodic Table arrangement.)
The periodic table is set-up in its current arrangement so people can read it easier, have a better understanding, and to be able to find the elements quicker.
4) Is there a better way to set it up? Why or why not?
I think there is probably a better way in which someone will find later on time, but for now i personally think this is the best way to arrange the periodic table.

Jazz up your studies and get an A in chemistry:-)
ReplyDeleteIf you having chem problems, I feel bad for you son. I got "Einsteinium" problems but a quiz ain't one. Hit me! "Periodic Elements - Little Things (New)" is a featured song from my latest music project. Download the song and enjoy all 118 periodic elements free as a public service.

Every so often a new periodic element is named and the best solution to me is to make it free and keep it current over the internet. I will continually update the song with the new name as it is released. Example: #115 - Ununpentium is about to be named. Once the official name is revealed, I would rerecord the vocals on the last section and re-upload the song for free as a public service.
Hope you enjoy.
Truly,
Will
