Elements and the Periodic Table Name Date Class Elements and the Periodic Table Skills Lab Alien Periodic Table Problem Imagine that inhabitants of another planet send data about 30 elements to Earth. However, these inhabitants use different names and symbols for these elements than humans do. Which elements on the periodic table do these alien names represent? Skills Focus drawing conclusions, classifying, interpreting data, inferring Materials ruler periodic table from text for reference Procedure 1. Be sure to record your data in the blank periodic table on the next page. 2. Listed below are data on the chemical and physical properties of the 30 elements. Place the elements in their proper position in the blank periodic table. The noble gases are bombal (Bo), wobble (Wo), jeptum (J), and logon (L). Among these gases, wobble has the greatest atomic mass and bombal the least. Logon is lighter than jeptum. The most reactive group of metals are xtalt (X), byyou (By), chow (Ch), and quackzil (Q). Of these metals, chow has the lowest atomic mass. Quackzil is in the same period as wobble. Apstrom (A), vulcania (V), and kratt (Kt) are nonmetals whose atoms typically gain or share one electron. Vulcania is in the same period as quackzil and wobble. The metalloids are ernst (E), highho (Hi), terriblum (T), and sississ (Ss). Sississ is the metalloid with the greatest atomic mass. Ernst is the metalloid with the lowest atomic mass. Highho and terriblum are in Group 14. Terriblum has more protons than highho. Yazzer (Yz) touches the zigzag line, but it s a metal, not a metalloid. The lightest element of all is called pfsst (Pf). The heaviest element in the group of 30 elements is eldorado (El). The most chemically active nonmetal is apstrom. Kratt reacts with byyou to form table salt.

Floxxit (Fx) is important in the chemistry of life. It forms compounds made of long chains of atoms. Rhaatrap (R) and doadeer (Do) are metals in the fourth period, but rhaatrap is less reactive than doadeer. Magnificon (M), goldy (G), and sississ are all members of Group 15. Goldy has fewer total electrons than magnificon. Urrp (Up), oz (Oz), and nuutye (Nu) all gain 2 electrons when they react. Nuutye is found as a diatomic molecule and has the same properties as a gas found in Earth s atmosphere. Oz has a lower atomic number than urrp.
