 **SC4.** Students will use the organization of the Periodic Table to predict properties of elements. 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.

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.

Overview
This wiki has been created to assist the teacher and student explore the periodic table of elements in greater breadth and depth, above and beyond the textbook. It is our hope that teachers and students will find this resource to be a helpful point from which to more deeply explore this vitally important scientific tool. Please refer to information below in "The Wiki" for specifics about the arrangement of the wiki and the resources provided.
