1. Who was the first person to create a periodic table? When? 2. What is the modern periodic table?

3. Compare and contrast the periods and groups of the modern periodic table.

4. In the modern periodic table (found in the back of your agenda), find the element named lead (Pb). How many protons do atoms of lead have? To which class of elements does lead belong?

5. Most of the elements on the periodic table belong to what class of elements.

6. Which groups of the modern periodic table contain elements that are classified as metalloids?

Mendeleev discovered the periodic table (or Periodic System, as he called it) while attempting to organise the elements in February of 1869.

Explanation:

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
