  • Based on the periodic table given, which of the TWO elements share similar chemical properties?
    W & Y! They are both from the same group, hence share similar chemical properties.
  • Shabul fills the balloon with helium to surprise Sodul for his birthday! Why does Shabul use helium instead of hydrogen?
    Helium is a noble/stable gas. Using hydrogen may cause explosion!
  • Based on the periodic table given, which letter represent metal with lowest melting point?
    A, Group 1 metal has lower melting point generally compared to the metals in the transition metal.
  • True or False: The colour of elements turn lighter going down Group VII in the Periodic Table
    False, the colour will turn darker as we go down group 7!
  • Rehana reacts lithium with water. If she dips a litmus paper in the reaction solution, what will she observe?
    She will observe colour change to blue! The reaction produces lithium hydroxide, an alkali. Do you know the other byproduct?
  • Subtance X is commonly used as a catalyst to make butter and has melting point of 1455 °C. Can you guess which group in periodic table it belongs?
    The transition metal! It has high melting point & is a good catalyst! X is nickel actually :)
