The Periodic Table Part 1
Begin
Click on the building block.
Atoms are the building blocks of all matter.
Review the page. The answer is often on the page somewhere.
You've got grit!Keep working hard!
A wrong answer provides a great opportunity to learn something new!
Your response is not correct. Click anywhere to try again.
Click on any of the different building blocks.
Different kinds of atoms are called elements.
Click anywhere.
Like you might organize Legos, scientists have organized elements.
Periodic Table of Elements
Elements are organized in a chart called the Periodic Table of Elements. Click on the chart to add the symbols for the 118 elements.
Periodic Table of Elements
Great! Now click on the chart to add the atomic number for each of the 118 elements.

Click on the element that is in period 4 and group 2.
That's right! Aluminum (Al) is in period 3 and group 13.
Periodic Table of Elements
Fantastic! We now have a periodic table that shows the symbol and atomic number of each of the elements.The atomic number is very important because it is equal to the number of protons in that kind of atom. Click on the element that contains only 1 proton in each of its atoms.
1 proton
Yes! Hydrogen (H) is atomic number 1. This means that every hydrogen atom contains only 1 positively charged proton in its nucleus!Click on the proton in the model of the hydrogen atom.
Periodic Table of Elements
How many protons does every carbon (C) atom contain in its nucleus?
Periodic Table of Elements
Click on the box for the element that has 79 protons in its nucleus.
Yes! Carbon's atomic number is 6. Therefore, we know every carbon atom has 6 protons in its nucleus.
Periodic Table of Elements
Period 4
Click on the periodic table to add the period labels.
Yes! Gold (Au) has an atomic number of 79. Therefore, we know every gold atom has 79 protons in its nucleus.Now, let's look at the rows of the periodic table. Each row is called a period.
Periodic Table of Elements
As you go from left to right across a period (like you'd read a book), the atomic number increases by one for each element.
Click on the element whose atoms have 3 more protons than Carbon (C - atomic # 6) atoms.
Periodic Table of Elements
You got it! Carbon atoms have 6 protons and fluorine atoms have 9 protons.Now, take notice of the columns within the periodic table. Each column is called a group (or family).
Click on the periodic table to add the group labels.
Group 4
Periodic Table of Elements
Fantastic! Now that the periods (rows) and groups (columns) are labeled, click on the element that is in period 3 and group 13.

If requested by your teacher...
Way to go! You found Vanadium. This is the end of the Periodic Table Part 1 interactive.
Great job finding Vanadium (V)!

If requested by your teacher...
Congratulations on completing this lesson!
Periodic Table of Elements
Click on group 1.
Great job finding Vanadium (V)! Now here's the incredible thing about the way the periodic table is organized: Every element is certainly unique. But, elements within a group have similar properties.

Group 1 (not including hydrogen) is called the alkali metals.
Properties of Alkali Metals
- Soft Metals- can be cut easily
- Less dense than other elements
- Melt and boil at lower temperatures compared to other metals
- VERY reactive, meaning they easily undergo chemical reactions!
