The
periodic table scavenger hunt.
Mr. Bouchers Chemistry class
Introduction:
Use your textbook, chapter 10 packet, or internet
to find the following information.
The first part of this project is work 36 points,
the second part (#10) is worth 20 points.
For part 1 (1-9), either list site, or print
out graph, with the information (4 points each):
-
Graphs of the first ionization energy (what is the ionization energy for your element?) (the
amount of energy required to excite the first electron to leave the electron).
-
Graphs of atomic radii (and what is the size
of your elemental atom?)
-
Graphs of the atomic affinity? (and what is
the atomic affinity of your element?)
-
At least one other periodic table that is not like the one in your textbook? (if you print it out, circle your element on the periodic table, otherwise list all
of the elements that surround your element. ) List site here:
-
A three
dimensional periodic table? (where is your element on this periodic table. If
you print it out, circle your element.)
List site here:
-
A foldable periodic table? List
site here:
-
A
periodic table of comic characters? (Also list the comic book character for your element) List
site here:
-
An interactive periodic table? List site here:
-
Which
is your favorite site?
-
Project for 20 points: Using the information above, and any other information you can find, sell me your element. (brochure, presentation, poster board, one page description, other?)
Suggested sites:
databases and search engines (or use your own)

or a specific periodic table (chemcool periodic
table) to try for your initial information:
