is any substance that cannot be broken down any further by chemical processes. There are more than 100 elements in the Periodic Table.

is anything that you can describe about something without changing the identity of it.

is the way the substance behaves when it interacts with something else.

How would you describe them?

-- is anything that you can describe about something without changing the identity of it.

Some examples are Phase of matter (solid, liquid, or gas) Color Odor Density Hardness Melting point Boiling point Magnetic properties Solubility Electrical conductivity

So here are the metals you tested in Activity 2:

Magnesium Mg

Iron Fe

Zinc Zn Aluminum Al

Copper Cu

What physical properties do they have

in common???

Here are some nonmetals….

Carbon C

Sulfur S

Phosphorus P

Iodine I

Chlorine Cl

Here are some metalloids…..

Boron B

Arsenic As

Silicon Si

Antimony Sb

What do they

have in

common????

Now let’s switch gears

for a moment…..

Remember them?

Even if you can’t tell them apart by looking at them, what could you do to figure out their

differences??

What can you describe about this substance? Could you have

predicted that this substance would do

this when you react it with NaNO3?

Of course not!!!!!

--is the way the substance behaves when it interacts with

something else.Some examples are• Flammability/Combustibility • Reaction with acid or a base• Corrosion • Food spoiling

How did the elements you tested react with the acid (HCl)?

Copper

Iron

Magnesium

Zinc

Aluminum

Carbon

Just by looking at them

you could NOT have

predicted that they

would behave the way

they did!!!!

Let’s Reflect…..

How can the information in this activity be used in the game that you will create?

Write down two questions and their answer in your notebook.
