ABSTRACT
The chemical periodicity was demonstrated by using different samples of Group IA, IIA and IVA elements. Each of the samples was placed in a test tubes and the physical state, color, and appearance was identified. The solubility of the element was tested through the use of water. The Group IIA Metal Oxides was tested through the use of the pink and blue litmus paper. Also a balanced equation was written to show the reaction between oxides and water.

INTRODUCTION
Chemical periodicity is defined as the similarities of chemical elements that are close to each other in the periodic table. When elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number, their physical and chemical properties recur periodically. For example, magnesium, calcium, and strontium are all hard, very reactive, silvery metals while neon, argon, and krypton are all unreactive colorless gases. This periodicity stems from the valence electronic configurations of the elements. This arrangement of elements in the order of increasing atomic number with the elements having similar properties placed in vertical columns is known as periodic table.
MATERIALS/REAGENTS AND EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
For the Group IA & IIA Elements, each small amount samples ofLi2CO3, Na2CO3, K2CO3, MgCO3, CaCO3 and BaCO3 was place in the different test tubes. After placing them in the test tubes, we identified the physical state, color, and appearance of each. Then we test the solubility of each sample by using water. For the Group IVA Element, each small amount samples of C, Sn, Si, and Pb was placed in different test tubes. Then its physical state,

    The periodic table is composed of eighteen columns and seven horizontal rows, with two additional rows underneath. There is grand total of 112 elements in the periodic table, each of which is placed in a designated spot on the table and cannot be moved. Different areas on the table have elements that are made of different components. Elements that are in the same column are more similar than elements in the same horizontal row. Seventy five percent of the table is made up of metals, and a couple of the columns on the right of the table have gases. There are only two elements that are liquids- mercury and bromine. Column 1 contains the alkali metals, which suddenly combust when exposed to air or water. Columns 3-12 are the transition metals, which contain heavier atoms, which are more flexible in how they organize their electrons. Column 17 is made up of the more reactive gases- the halogens. The noble gases are in column 18. The electrons are the most significant part of an atom. When atoms don’t have the sufficient number of electrons they need in their outer level, they will do whatever they can to get the number they need. The number of protons an atom has is its atomic number. The atomic number plus the number of neutrons the atom has is the atom’s atomic weight.…

    As you have seen in the modules, each atom has a unique arrangement of electrons and scientists take advantage of this concept to identify materials based on the colors that are emitted. This can be done using scientific instruments called spectroscopes by comparing samples of pure elements with unknown substances. In this lab you will be observing the colors of light emitted when samples of known metallic ions are exposed to flame, thus absorbing energy, and carefully observing the color change in the flame. You will also have an unknown sample that is one of the “knowns”. The unknown can be identified by comparison to…

    Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table on March 6, 1869 (almost 100 years, to the day, before my birthdayJ) based on the atomic weights of the elements. Many elements were missing then, but he left spaces for them because he thought one day they might be discovered. Now the periodic table is arranged by the element’s atomic number and many other trends from it can provide valuable information to scientists. When information is arranged in a certain order it is called periodicity. Your assignment is to create your own periodic table using periodicity and similar trends as found in the modern periodic table.…

    An elements¡¦ reaction to certain substances may be predicted by its placement on the Periodic Table of Elements. Across a period, an element on the left will react with more vigor than one on the right, of the same period. Vertically, as elements are sectioned into groups, the reaction of each element increases as you move down in the same group. With this in mind, the reactions of the substances involved in this experiment may be hypothesized, observed, and validated.…

    Dmitri Mendeleev’s Periodic table is based on atomic weight, whereas, the modern periodic table keeps the atomic number as the base. An atomic table arranges elements from left to right in a row with the atomic number and properties gradually changing. The elements on the next row will actually exhibit similar properties as the ones above or below it. This provides an example of the periodicity nature of the elements. The columns of different elements in a period have the same or very similar properties. The properties of the elements change gradually as the columns move down through the periodic table. Atoms in similar families, such as H2S and H2O, exhibit both similar properties and molecular structure. This shows periodicity in both the molecules and the individual atoms.…
