Activity no.1: Mapping the Periodic Table
Objectives
✓ Identify the number of valence electrons of atoms.
✓ Compare the electronegativity and ionization values of metals and non-metals
Procedure
1. Locate the metals, non-metals and noble gases in the Periodic Table of Elements. Color the area with metallic
elements blue, non-metallic elements yellow and the noble gases green.
Q1. Where can you find metals, non-metals and noble gases in the periodic table of elements?
Q2. Which number tells you the number of valence electrons?
Q3. What do you notice in the number of valence electrons of metals, non-metals and noble gases?
2. Observe the number that corresponds to the valence electrons, electronegativity and ionization energy of metals and
non-metals using a periodic table.
Q4. What kind of element has:
a. less than 4 valence electrons
b. more than 4 valence electrons
c. low electronegativity?
d. high electronegativity?
e. low ionization energy?
f. high ionization energy?
