1. Use your periodic
table and your knowledge of electron structure to complete the table as
demonstrated.
2. Shade the “Very
reactive gases” one colour.
3. Shade the
“Unreactive gases” another colour.
4. Shade the “Very
reactive metals” another colour.
5. Shade the “Metals”
a final colour.
6. Look at each
colour and the electron arrangements and try to make a comment. Write your
conclusions here.
