Matter, Trends, and Chemical Bonding
1) Analyze the properties of commonly used chemical substances and their effects on human health and the environment, and propose ways to lessen their impact.

2) Investigate physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds, and use various methods to visually represent them

3) Demonstrate an understanding of periodic trends in the periodic table and how elements combine to form chemical bonds.

In which direction on the periodic table are elements with similar chemical properties aligned? What are families of elements with similar chemical properties called?

True or false? elements in the same row of the periodic table exhibit similar chemical properties.

Using the elements sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, carbon,oxygen, nitrogen, fluorine, chlorine, iron, hydrogen and sulphur,provide some key features of the periodic table such as:
?how they are organised in groups, periods and blocks
?any trends in their chemical and physical properties in the groupsthey belong to and the periods they are in
