RSC Periodic Table Wallchart, 2A0 - Double Poster Pack

Product Information

You can also use the periodic table to develop students’ research and presentation skills. Assign each student a different element and ask them to find out and present key pieces of information to the group. Together you can build a class periodic table with this work. The RSC interactive periodic table is a good place to start researching.

Commercial use of the Images will be charged at a rate based on the particular use, prices on application. In such cases we would ask you to sign a Visual Elements licence agreement, tailored to the specific use you propose.Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility - Office of Science Education, It’s Elemental - The Periodic Table of Elements, accessed December 2014. Describe and model the structure of the atom in terms of the nucleus, protons, neutrons and electrons; comparing mass and charge of protons neutrond and electrons.

Haynes, ed., CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, CRC Press/Taylor and Francis, Boca Raton, FL, 95th Edition, Internet Version 2015, accessed December 2014.The elements in a group show patterns in their physical properties such as melting or boiling point, thermal conductivity and density. They have similar chemical reactions with, for example, oxygen.

Start with analogies that students are likely to be familiar with, before moving on to less familiar examples. The layout of supermarkets is a good place to start. In a supermarket, food is grouped in different aisles according the characteristics and properties of the food – for example: fruit and vegetables, bakery, meat, dairy, cereals. Introduce students to a range of different elements in the table by asking them to classify them as metals or non-metals. Then ask them to find the symbol on the periodic table. After repeating this with a number of elements, they will soon start to build up a picture and discover that metals are on the left-hand side of the table and the non-metals on the right.There are lots of other resources available for consolidation and revision, such as Periodic table bingo, Elemental Su Duko, Element top trumps and the Periodic table game. Common misconceptions An integrated supply risk index from 1 (very low risk) to 10 (very high risk). This is calculated by combining the scores for crustal abundance, reserve distribution, production concentration, substitutability, recycling rate and political stability scores. A horizontal row in the periodic table. The atomic number of each element increases by one, reading from left to right.

The mass of an atom relative to that of carbon-12. This is approximately the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Where more than one isotope exists, the value given is the abundance weighted average. So, if you wanted to buy some butter, you would need to know this is a dairy product and go to the dairy aisle. From mobile phones to the clothes we wear, everything consists of one or more of the 118 known chemical elements. So how do scientists know where to start when they are developing new or existing materials?

Analogies are a powerful way to help students understand the complexities of chemistry. We can use different classification systems from everyday life to help students understand how the periodic table classifies elements. The percentage of a commodity which is recycled. A higher recycling rate may reduce risk to supply. A vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell.
