Elements in the Periodic table I learned about several different elements in the periodic table over this week. I learned how to find things better by searching through the groups and how the groups determine the Atomic number and the period determines the number of shells an atom will have around it. I learned in more detail how the Periodic Table is organized. There is many more metals than there is metaliods or non-metals.

The Lab This week we did a lab about metals, non-metals, and metaliods. We made a table in which we put many things. First we wrote down what element there was. The elements we did studies on were lead, copper, zinc, bismuth, antimony, sulfur, carbon, aluminum, and magnesium. Then we wrote down what appearance the elements had, more were a silver and shiny color. Then we did the conductivity. After conductivity we hit the elements with hammers to se the result of crushing. After that we did the reaction with acid. After our table was finished we did some questions.

Question One question I have about anything in science is, is there more than just the unnamed elements? I have studied the periodic table a lot in science class and i have noticed that there was the unnamed elements but i was wondering if there were anymore that they havent found or maybe not added them into the periodic table. And are the unnamed elements being worked on?

Bohr Models I learned how to make a Bohr models. You can subtract the Atomic Mass minus the Atomic number to find the number of nuetrons. The Protons plus the nuetrons equals the nucleus. There are shells around every atom. The shells are called valence shells. There can be many shells depending on how many electrons there are. The electrons are on the shells. The nuetrons plus the electrons plus the protons plus the shells equal a whole atom.

Periodic Table Another thing i learned about was the periodic table. The periodic table is organized by three things, the Atomic number, the physical state
