The Periodic Table

Science · Matter & Materials · conceptual

Describe the organisation of the periodic table into periods and groups, explain the contribution of Mendeleev, and use the table to identify metals, non-metals, and predict patterns in reactivity

What mastery looks like

  • Explains why the periodic table is arranged into periods (rows) and groups (columns)
  • States that elements in the same group have similar chemical properties
  • Locates metals, non-metals, and metalloids in the periodic table
  • Explains how Mendeleev ordered elements by atomic weight and predicted missing elements

Check your understanding

If The Periodic Table was looking at a periodic table, could they explain why elements in the same column tend to behave similarly — and say what Mendeleev did that made it so useful to chemists?
