The Periodic Table and Physical Properties /iÊ Êì> Elements on the periodic table are grouped together based on their properties 3.f, 7.a Organization of the Periodic Table LESSON >Êì> The periodic table contains information about the structures and characteristics of elements 7.a, 7.b, 9.e Isotopes and Radioactivity LESSON >Êì> Over time, radioactive isotopes decay at varying rates 5.d, 7.c, 9.a Physical Properties and Changes LESSON >Êì> Substances have physical properties that can be described and physical changes that can be observed Taking It for Granite Barre quarry in Vermont is America’s oldest granite quarry This quarry contains granite, which is composed of feldspar, quartz, and mica These minerals are composed of elements, such as silicon, oxygen, calcium, and potassium -ViViÊÊ+PVSOBM Write a paragraph explaining why you think it’s helpful to keep your books, notebooks, and papers organized 286 Start-Up Activities Which element are you? How can you organize your class into a periodic table? Regions of the Periodic Table Make the following Foldable to identify the regions of the periodic table STEP Fold a sheet of paper into thirds lengthwise Procedure Find your assigned element on the periodic table Color the poster board the same color as your element’s block Use a dark marker to print your element’s atomic number, symbol, name, and atomic mass on your poster board STEP Unfold and draw lines along the folds Draw three vertical lines to divide the paper into four columns, as shown Find the classmates whose elements are to the left, to the right, above, and below your element on the periodic table Arrange yourselves so that you are in the correct positions Think About This • Explain why you and your classmates arranged yourselves as you did • Assess What limitations did you find in making the table? 3.f Clarifying Label the top row of your Foldable with the names of the regions In the boxes below, describe the location, the properties, and some examples of elements in that region Visit ca8.msscience.com to: υ υ υ υ view explore Virtual Labs access content-related Web links take the Standards Check 287 Get Ready to Read Make Predictions Learn It! A prediction is an educated guess based on what you already know One way to predict while reading is to guess what you believe the author will tell you next As you are reading, each new topic should make sense because it is related to the previous paragraph or passage Practice It! Read the excerpt below from Lesson Based on what you have read, make predictions about what you will read in the rest of the lesson After you read Lesson 3, go back to your predictions to see if they were correct Predict whether a solution could be formed from salt and water What would you predict would be a characteristic of all solutions? Dissolving is mixing a substance into another substance to form a solution As sugar dissolves in water, it disappears and seems to become part of the water But if you boil the water away, the sugar becomes visible again Dissolving is a physical change because the sugar is unchanged —from page 317 Can you predict another kind of change that matter could undergo? Apply It! Before you read, skim the questions in the Standards Review Choose three questions and predict the answers 288 Target Your Reading heck the see c , d a e r e to As you you mad s n o i t c i t pred e correc r e w y e h if t Use this to focus on the main ideas as you read the chapter Before you read the chapter, respond to the statements below on your worksheet or on a numbered sheet of paper • Write an A if you agree with the statement • Write a D if you disagree with the statement After you read the chapter, look back to this page to see if you’ve changed your mind about any of the statements • If any of your answers changed, explain why • Change any false statements into true statements • Use your revised statements as a study guide Before You Read A or D Statement After You Read A or D The elements are arranged on the periodic table according to their atomic numbers and mass numbers The elements in a group have similar properties Metals are located on the right side of the periodic table Not all isotopes are radioactive Radioactive elements have unstable nuclei An element’s mass number is the number of neutrons in its nucleus Print a worksheet of this page at ca8.msscience.com Transmutation is another word for half-life Melting and boiling points change with pressure Thermal conductivity occurs because particles collide with one another 10 Density is a physical property that depends on the size of a sample 289 LESSON Science Content Standards 3.f Students know how to use the periodic table to identify elements in simple compounds 7.a Students know how to identify regions corresponding to metals, nonmetals, and inert gases Reading Guide Organization of the Periodic Table >Êì> The periodic table contains information about the structures and characteristics of elements Real-World Reading Connection A map is a source of much information You can find streets, cities, lakes, and rivers on a map But you must first know how to read the map The periodic table is similar to a map You can learn a lot about the elements once you learn how to read the periodic table What You’ll Learn ▼ Describe the arrangement of the elements in the periodic table ▼ Identify metals, nonmetals, and semimetals by their positions in the periodic table ▼ Identify and describe the noble gases Why It’s Important The periodic table will provide you with a lot of information once you know how to use it How are the elements arranged? Imagine what a library would be like if books weren’t organized on the shelves You wouldn’t be able to find the information you needed Like a library, the periodic table is a system for organizing information Recall that each element has a different atomic number The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element The elements are arranged in the periodic table according to their atomic numbers Each element block contains the same type of information The block for carbon is shown in Figure A key at the top of the table shows that each block contains the element’s name, atomic number, symbol, and atomic mass Each block also has an icon, or a picture The icon indicates whether the element is normally a gas, a liquid, or a solid Another icon shows whether the element is found in nature or is made by humans Vocabulary period group metallic luster conductivity halogen noble gas Review Vocabulary What the icons in the element blocks show? Figure Each block on the periodic table provides the same type of information about the element as other blocks CVbZd[ i]ZZaZbZci 8VgWdc + element: pure substance made from atoms that all have the same number of protons (p 195) HnbWda[dg ZaZbZci 290 Chapter • The Periodic Table and Physical Properties &'#%&& 6idb^X cjbWZg HiViZd[ZaZbZci Vigddb iZbeZgVijgZ# 8VgWdc^hVhda^Y# 6idb^XbVhh D9>8I67A:D;I=::A:B:CIH gdc '+ 8dWVai ', @ 8V HX I^ K 8g Bc ;Z 8d (.#%.- )%#%,- ))#.*+ ),#-+, *%#.)' *&# + *)#.(- **#-)* *-#.(( GjW^Y^jb (, Higdci^jb (- Niig^jb ( O^gXdc^jb )% C^dW^jb )& BdanWYZcjb )' IZX]cZi^jb )( Gji]Zc^jb )) G]dY^jb )* GW Hg N Og CW Bd IX Gj G] -*#)+- -,#+' #.%+ &#'') '#.%+ *#.) .- &%&#%, &%'#.%+ 8Zh^jb ** 7Vg^jb *+ AVci]Vcjb *, =V[c^jb ,' IVciVajb ,( Ijc\hiZc ,) G]Zc^jb ,* Dhb^jb ,+ >g^Y^jb ,, 8h 7V AV =[ IV L GZ Dh >g &('#.%* &(,#(', &(-#.%+ &,-#) &-%#.)- &-(#-) &-+#'%, &.%#'( &.'#'&, ;gVcX^jb -, GVY^jb 6Xi^c^jb - Gji]Zg[dgY^jb &%) 9jWc^jb &%* HZVWdg\^jb &%+ 7d]g^jb &%, =Vhh^jb &%- BZîcZg^jb &% ;g GV 6X G[ 9W H\ 7] =h Bi ''( ''+ '', '+& '+' '++ '+) ',, '+- I]ZcjbWZg^ceVgZci]ZhZh^hi]ZbVhhcjbWZgd[i]Zadc\Zhi"a^kZY^hdideZ[dgi]ViZaZbZci# Gdlhd[ZaZbZcihVgZXVaaZY eZg^dYh#6idb^XcjbWZg ^cXgZVhZhVXgdhhVeZg^dY# I]ZVggdlh]dlhl]ZgZi]ZhZ ZaZbZcihldjaY[î^cidi]Z eZg^dY^XiVWaZ#I]ZnVgZeaVXZY WZadli]ZiVWaZidhVkZheVXZ# 8Zg^jb *- AVci]Vc^YZ hZg^Zh 6Xi^c^YZ hZg^Zh EgVhZdYnb^jb * CZdYnb^jb +% EgdbZi]^jb +& HVbVg^jb +' 8Z Eg CY Eb Hb &)%#&&+ &)%#.%- &))#') &)* &*%#(+ I]dg^jb % EgdiVXi^c^jb & JgVc^jb ' CZeijc^jb ( Eajidc^jb ) I] EV J Ce Ej '('#%(- '(&#%(+ '(-#%' '(, ')) 292 Chapter • The Periodic Table and Physical Properties To organize infomation about the periodic table, visit ca8.msscience.com BZiVa BZiVaad^Y &- CdcbZiVa &( C^X`Za '- && 7dgdc * &' 8deeZg ' &* &+ &, =Z )#%%( I]ZXdadgd[VcZaZbZci¼hWadX` iZaahndj^[i]ZZaZbZci^hV bZiVa!cdcbZiVa!dgbZiVaad^Y# &% &) =Za^jb ' O^cX (% 8VgWdc + Cîgd\Zc , Dmn\Zc - ;ajdg^cZ CZdc &% C D ; CZ &%#-&& &'#%&& &)#%%, &*# &-# - '%#&-% 6ajb^cjb &( Hâ^Xdc &) E]dhe]dgjh &* Hja[jg &+ 8]adg^cZ &, 6g\dc &- 6a H^ E H 8a 6g '+#.-' '-#%-+ (%#.,) ('#%+* (*#)*( (.#.)- dY^cZ *( MZcdc *) EY 6\ 8Y >c Hc HW IZ > MZ &%+#)' &%,#-+- &&'#)&& &&)#-&- &&-#,&% &'&#,+% &',#+% &'+#.%) &(&#'.( EaVi^cjb ,-
