LESSON PLAN (2025-26)

GRADE- XI
SUBJECT: CHEMISTRY MONTH : JUNE
CHAPTER-4 CLASSIFICATION OF ELEMENTS AND PERIODICITY IN
PROPERTIES
Aim:
To help students understand the need for classifying elements, the development of the periodic table, and the
periodicity of properties of elements across periods and groups.

Concept Map:
 Need for Classification
• Early attempts at classification (Dobereiner's triads, Newlands' Law of Octaves)
• Mendeleev's Periodic Table
• Modern Periodic Table (based on atomic number)
 Periodic Law
• Properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
• The relationship between atomic number and chemical properties.
 Modern Periodic Table
• Groups and Periods
• Elements organized in increasing atomic number
• S, P, D, and F blocks of elements
 Periodic Trends
• Atomic size (atomic radius)
• Ionization energy
• Electron affinity
• Electronegativity
• Metallic and non-metallic character
 Classification of Elements in the Periodic Table
• Metals, Non-metals, and Metalloids
• Transition elements and Inner Transition elements

Methodology:
 Explanation of early classification systems and their limitations
 Interactive learning about the development of the periodic table
 Use of visual aids (e.g., the periodic table, atomic structure diagrams)
 Demonstration of periodic trends with models
 Group discussion on periodicity and its significance

Activity & Research:


Activity:
 Periodic Table and Trends:
• Students will analyze the periodic table and identify trends in atomic size, ionization energy, and
electronegativity across periods and down groups.
• Conduct an experiment or use models to demonstrate the relationship between atomic number and
periodicity.

Research:
 Investigate the importance of periodic trends in predicting the chemical behavior of elements (e.g.,
how electronegativity affects bonding).
 Explore how the periodic table helps in understanding the reactivity of metals and nonmetals.

Teaching Aid:
 Periodic table chart
 Models of atoms
 NCERT Grade 11 Science textbook
 Visual aids showing periodic trends (graphs, tables)

Interactive Questions:
1. How do the properties of elements change across a period and down a group?
2. What is the significance of the atomic number in the modern periodic table?
3. Why are noble gases placed in a separate group in the periodic table?
4. How does electronegativity change across a period and down a group?
5. Explain why the ionization energy of elements increases across a period.

Extra Questions:
1. Why is Mendeleev's periodic table considered a breakthrough in the classification of elements?
2. Define electronegativity. How does it vary across periods and groups?
3. Write down the electronic configuration of any two elements from Group 17 and Group 18. Explain
their properties based on this configuration.

Mini Project: "Exploring Periodicity in Elements"


Objective:
To help students understand how periodicity affects the properties and reactivity of elements.

Instructions:
 Choose 3-4 elements from different periods and groups of the periodic table.
 Research and present the following for each element:
• Atomic size, Ionization energy, and Electronegativity
• Trends in reactivity (both metal and non-metal behaviour)
• Physical and chemical properties (metallic/non-metallic nature)
• Applications of the element in everyday life
 Create a chart or poster summarizing the trends of the chosen elements.

Presentation:
 Present the findings to the class, focusing on periodic trends and their practical applications.

differ based on their electronic configurations?
True/False
10. True/False:
a) Electronegativity decreases across a period.
b) Ionization energy increases as we move down a group.
c) The periodic table is arranged according to atomic mass in the modern version.
d) Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties.
EXTRA QUESTIONS:
11. What is meant by the term "periodicity"?
 How does it explain the recurring trends in the periodic table?
12. What are the major differences between the elements in Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic
table?
 Discuss their physical and chemical properties.
Answer Key:
1. c) It was based on atomic mass, and some elements were placed incorrectly.
2. b) Atomic radius
3. a) Atomic number
4. b) Neon
5. b) Across a period from left to right
6. Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat, are malleable, and have high melting points.
Nonmetals are poor conductors of heat and electricity and tend to be brittle in solid form.
7. Atomic size increases down a group because the number of electron shells increases, resulting in a
greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost electrons.
8. Electronegativity increases across a period because the number of protons increases, pulling
electrons closer to the nucleus. It decreases down a group due to an increase in atomic size and
shielding effect.
9. Sodium (Na): 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹, Chlorine (Cl): 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵. Sodium has one valence electron,
making it highly reactive, while Chlorine has seven valence electrons and is reactive but tends to
gain an electron to form an anion.
10. a) False
b) False
c) False
d) True
11. Periodicity refers to the recurring trends in the properties of elements across periods and groups,
which are a result of the arrangement of elements in the periodic table according to their atomic
number.
12. Group 1 elements are alkali metals, highly reactive, soft, and have low melting points. Group 17
elements are halogens, highly reactive, and exist as diatomic molecules in their natural state.
