    Periodic Table-Figure out the Clue!

    Directions: Fill in the blanks in the periodic table provided with the letter symbol
    for each of the mystery elements whose properties are described. The idea is to
    identify the mystery element and to put its symbol in the proper place in the blank
    table. Look for clues in your textbook or online.

    a) A, B, C, and D belong to a family, the members of which are all gases. A is


    commonly found in advertising signs. B was first discovered on the sun and is used
    in weather balloons. C was used to make the first compounds of an element of this
    group. D is the family member of this group which is present in the largest amount
    in air.

    b) E and F are members of a family containing both gaseous and solid elements. E
    forms a diatomic molecule and is the major constituent of the atmosphere.
    Element F is a dangerous poison and a metalloid.

    c) G, H, and I belong to a family of very active metals, all of which react with
    chlorine to produce salts (ionic compounds) with the general formula XCl. G is a
    member of the first period to contain 18 elements. H has the highest ionization
    energy of these three elements and I has the lowest ionization energy.

    d) J, K, and L belong to the same family and all are metals. A compound of J is a
    major component of bones and teeth. K is commonly used in flashbulbs for
    producing light. L is a radioactive element discovered by Marie Curie.

    e) M is a gas and has some properties similar to the elements in both group 1A and
    7A. It is a unique element in this respect.

    f) N, O, and P commonly form -1 ions when they combine with metals. N is a


    liquid at room temperature, O is a non-radioactive solid. P is the most chemically
    reactive of all the elements.

    g) Q, R, S, and T are in different families but in the same period. Q is a gas used
    for water purification. R is a yellow non-metallic solid. S is a metalloid used in
    transistors. T is a metal of low density used in aircraft construction.
    h) U, V, W, and X are all transition elements. U is an excellent conductor of heat
    and electricity and is commonly used in wiring and cookware. V is the only metal
    that is liquid at room temperature. W is the metal that is produced in the largest
    quantity. Although once used in coins, X is now used mostly in expensive jewelry.

    i) Y is an actinide series fuel used in nuclear reactors. Z is in the actinide series


    and is named for the creator of the Periodic Table.

    Questions: Use the clues above and predict the formulas for compounds made
    from the following combinations. Also name these compounds.(note: one
    combination doesn’t make a compound)

    a) M and P b) T and Q c) E and M d) I and R

    e) A and G f) J and N
