Atomic Structure Pre-Lab Study Questions 1.
Describe the set up of the periodic table. The periodic table is set up in vertical and horizontal rows. Horizontal are periods and vertical are groups. The groups contain elements with similar chemical and physical properties. 2.
Where are the alkali metals and the halogens located on the periodic table? Alkali- group 1A Halogens- group 7A 3. On the following list of elements: Mg, Cu, Br, Ag, Ni, Cl, Fe, and F, list the transition elements _Cu, Ag, Ni, Fe, Mg______________________ and list the halogens ___F, Cl, Br _________________ 4.
