Periodic Table

State of elements on the periodic table

1. Matter can exist in these 3 states: __________________, __________________ or __________________.

2. The periodic table indicates the state of each element at room temperature (20 C).
a) The majority of elements exist in this state ____________________
b) Two elements that exist in liquid state at 20C are ________________ and ________________.
c) Gaseous elements are found on the ____________________ side of the periodic table.

Categories of elements

1. Use the following periodic table to indicate the location of metals, non-metals, and metalloids.

2. Complete the following table with the help of your periodic table.
Example Atomic Number State

Metals

Non-metals

Metalloids
Families of elements on the periodic table

1. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are known as ___________________.

2. The columns (vertical) on the periodic table are known as _______________ or _______________; 4 of 18
of these columns have special names. Using the periodic table on the other side of this sheet identify these 4
columns.
3. Give two examples of elements that belong to each family:
Alkaline metals: ______________________ ______________________
