    Understandings

    ● The Periodic Table is arranged into four blocks associated with the four sub-levels: s, p, d, and f.
    ● The Periodic Table consists of groups (vertical columns) and periods (horizontal rows).
    Guidance
    The group numbering scheme from group 1 to group 18, as recommended by IUPAC, should beused.
    ● The period number (n) is the outer energy level that is occupied by electrons.
    ● The number of the principal energy level and the number of the valence electrons in an atom can
    be deduced from its position on the Periodic Table.
    ● The Periodic Table shows the positions of metals, non-metals and metalloids.
    Guidance
    The terms alkali metals, halogens, noble gases, transition metals, lanthanoides and actinoides should
    be known.

    Applications and skills

    ● Deduction of the electron configuration of an atom from the element’s position on the Periodic Table, and vice versa.

    3.1 Periodic table 
    This song introduces the periodic table and some of the groups in the periodic table. 
    Watch the video and list the groups that are mentioned in the periodic table song
    This CRASH COURSE CHEMISTRY video is given an overview of the history of the periodic table. 

    TOK:
    Identify how the collaboration of scientists has helped to discover the periodic table in the way that we know it today. Explain in bullet points.

    Information form the periodic table 

    These videos explains what information is in the periodic table besides the name of elements, symbols, mass number and proton number. Periods, groups and blocks all give important information about a certain element. 
    Task 
    Watch both of the videos about the periodic. Use the information in the video and goggle search to research the following informations below.

    Answer the following questions:
    1. How do we find out how many valence electron a atom of a particular element has ?
    2. How do we know how many electron shells/energy levels a atom of a particular element has ?
    3. How do we know what the highest filled (partially or full) sublevel of a particular atom is?
    4. How can we tell if an element is a metal or non-metal using the periodic table?
    5. What is the electron configuration of Phosphorous and how is the electron configuration related to its position in the periodic table?
