Trends and Regions of the Periodic Table
Name:___________________________ Date:_______________
Unit Outcome: Students will use the Periodic Table of Elements to explain trends of the
elements, identify separate regions of the Periodic Table, and describe attributes of those regions.
Learning Outcomes:
Chem 3.1: Explain how the Periodic Table is organized and describe elements using family
name, along with group and period number. (Fill-in-the-Blank Q1-Q4)
Chem 3.2: Understand and predict trends of atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization
energy on the Periodic Table. (Multiple Choice Q1-Q5, Fill-in-the-Blank Q5)
Chem 3.3: Classify elements as metal, nonmetal, or metalloid based on physical and chemical
properties. (Matching Q1-Q8, True/False Q1-Q4)
Chem 3.4: Describe regions of the periodic table and identify unique properties of each region.
(Matching Q1-Q8)
