= Welcome to the Periodic Table =

Hi there - This is our wiki, created to help in your exploration of the periodic table of elements. Inside, you will find where we have identified books you might want to use, as well as linked materials on the web, for bettering your understanding of the table and the concepts represented there. Students will find ideas for sources and plenty of information to help with assigned projects in this area. Teachers will find resources and ideas for expanding the presentations of these concepts. We hope you find this tool easy to use as you expand your knowledge about the periodic table.

Here is a sample of what you will find inside. Link from here to a cool, interactive periodic table, and enjoy!

Georgia Performance Standards:
a. Use the Periodic Table to predict periodic trends including atomic radii, ionic radii, ionization energy, and electronegativity of various elements. b. Compare and contrast trends in the chemical and physical properties of elements and their placement on the Periodic Table.
 * SC4.** Students will use the organization of the Periodic Table to predict properties of elements.

a. Determine the trends of the following: Number of valence electrons Types of ions formed by representative elements Location of metals, nonmetals, and metalloids Phases at room temperature b. Use the Periodic Table to predict the above properties for representative elements.
 * SPS4.** Students will investigate the arrangement of the Periodic Table.

G ALILEO
If you are a teacher or student in the state of Georgia, you have access to a huge set of information, through GALILEO databases. We encourage you to explore further to get an idea of what this resource tool has to offer. We are providing a link here, but you will need to check with your school's library media center staff for the current password for access.
