The periodic table is the most important organizing principle in chemistry. There is a regular progression in the periodic table that reflects a similar regularity in the structures and properties of the different elements. If you know the properties of any one element in a group, you can make a good guess at the properties of every other element in the same group and even the elements in neighboring groups. Familiarizing yourself with the structure and arrangement of the periodic table early on will help you later on in chemistry. Part A Classify the following elements as main group elements, transition metals, or inner transition metals. Drag the appropriate elements to their respective bins. ▸ View Available Hint(s) Main group elements Ca Sn Fm Pd Zn S Transition metals Inner transition metals Reset Help

Archeologists discover a gold crown in an ancient tomb. When they place the crown in a tub of water it displaces 941.2 mL of water. The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL.Gold is worth $57,056.24 per kg (or was on the day this question was written). Without taking into consideration any historical value for the crown, what is the crown worth?
record the element names, chemical symbols, and atomic numbers for the following 14 elements along with observations of the physical characteristics or chemical reactions shown. Hydrogen White Phosphorous Copper Bromine Cerium Rhenium Thorium Einsteinium Dubnium In addition to the element name, chemical symbol, and atomic number, name the color of the following noble gases when they are illuminated.

In the table below, there are descriptions of an experiment on samples of three different chemical elements. Decide whether the element is a metal or nonmetal, if you can. If there is not enough information to decide, choose can't decide in the third column. element description metal or nonmetal? Element 1 is a hard silvery-gray solid. Wires are fastened to each side of a 2 cm slab of it, and an ordinary household 9 V battery is hooked up so that it can feed electricity through the slab to an LED. The LED glows brightly. metal 1 nonmetal (can't decide) Element 2 is a moderately soft silvery-gray solid. A 5 cm × 5 cm square of it, only 1 mm thick, is pressed into a dish-shaped mold under high pressure. When the press is lifted up, the sample has been crushed to a powder. metal 2 nonmetal (can't decide) metal Element 3 is a moderately soft silvery-gray solid. A 5 cm x 5 cm square of it, only 1 mm thick, is twisted using two pairs of pliers, giving it a slight curve. 3 nonmetal (can't…
Identify these elements based on their locations in the periodic table. Give the symbol, not the name. period 6, group 13 (3A) period 5, group 12 (2B) period 2, group 18 (8A)
Recall that atomic mass is a quantitative physical property of an element. So are density, melting point, and boiling point. Use the table below to sequence the values of the densities, melting points, and boiling points of the following triads—Ca, Sr, and Ba; and Cl, Br, and I. Then determine whether each property shows a trend similar to that of the atomic masses of the elements in the triads. Explain your reasoning.
1) In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones tried to remove a gold idol from a booby-trapped pedestal. He replaces the idol with a bag of sand. If the idol has a mass of 2.00 kg, how many litres of sand must he place on the pedestal to keep the mass sensitive booby-trap from activating? (Density of sand is 3.00 g/cm3)
What were the problems with Dobereiner’s triads and Newlands’ law of octaves? Why were these two early attempts to organize elements abandoned in favour of Mendeleev’s periodic table?
Chemistry of Mars NASA's 1997 mission to Mars included a small robot, the Sojourner, that analyzed the composition of Martian rocks. Magnesium oxide from a boulder dubbed "Barnacle Bill" was analyzed and found to have the following isotopic composition: Mass (u) Natural Abundance (%) 39.9872 78.70 40.9886 10.13 41.9846 11.17 If essentially all of the oxygen in the Martian MgO sample is oxygen-16 (which has a mass of 15.9948 u), is the average atomic mass of magnesium on Mars the same as on Earth (24.31 u)?
Read each description in the first column of the table below. If any chemical element with atomic number of 92 or less matches the description, check Yes and enter the chemical symbol of an element that matches. Otherwise check No in the second column. description An element in Period 1 and Group 7A. A metalloid in Group 8A. An element in the nitrogen family with a higher atomic number than tellurium. A main-group element in Period 2. Does any element with Z ≤ 92 match the description? Yes O Yes Yes O Yes O No O No O No O No If you checked yes, give the symbol of an element with Z ≤ 92 that matches. 0 x 0 U G
Look up the density of silicon and of lead in a table online. Then look up the atomic radius of silicon and lead . Then look up the atomic mass of each element (periodic table of elements). Use the atomic mass and atomic radius of each element to make an argument about density. Based on the atomic radii and atomic mass data, which element would be the most dense. Is that expectation consistent with actual density data? Use the definition of density to support your argument.
Identify the states of the halogens at room temperature. Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine are gasses. Fluorine, chlorine, and bromine are gases, and iodine is a solid. All are gases. Fluorine is a gas, chlorine and bromine are liquids, and iodine is a solid. Fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine is a solid.
