There are many elements, each separated into their
appropriate group and period. Groups, also known as families, are elements that
have the same properties. Periods symbolize the element’s valence electrons.
Going from right to left, the Alkali Metals are the most reactive, Noble gases
being the least.
Each element has chemical properties when combined with
another element or substance. A few are odor change, color change, temperature,
and precipitate. An example of odor change is when iron and vinegar are mixed;
it gives off a sulfur type scent.
Many different chemicals react differently to each other
such as sodium and Chlorine. One is unstable will the other is toxic, yet when
put together, they form NaCl which is table salt. Whenever cornstarch and water
is combined it forms a substance called a Non-Newtonian fluid. A Non-Newtonian
fluid is when the substance is in a liquid state as well as a solid state at
the same time. ~ Dr. Professor Patrick
