1. Place a large G in boxes that house elements that are gases at SATP, and a large L in boxes that contain elements that are
liquids. The rest of the elements are solids; do not write anything in these boxes.
2. Darken the “staircase line” that divides metals from non-metals.
3. Metalloids (i.e. semi-conductors) are elements that have properties midway between metals and non-metals. The
metalloids are: B, Si, Ge, As, Sb, Te, Po, At. Identify the metalloids by drawing diagonal lines in these boxes.
4. Notice that each group (column) in the periodic table is identified at the top with a number and/or letter. There are two
conventions used in the textbook. Label the groups that end in A (e.g. IA, IIA, IIIA, etc)
5. Frame and color the following groups (note: H is not an IA metal): Alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, halogens, noble
gases, transition metals, the inner transition elements (made up of lanthalides and actinides).
6. Create a legend for your periodic table and place it on the right side of the table.
