C3.1 Explain the relationship of an elements position on the periodic table to its atomic number and mass

C3.2 Use the periodic table to identify metals, nonmetals, metalloids, families (groups), periods, valence electrons and reactivity with other elements in the table

C3.3 Relate the position of an element on the periodic table to its electron configuration

C3.4 Identify trends on the periodic table (ionization energy, electronegativity, electron affinity, and relative size of atoms and ions)

C2.7 Write electron configurations for elements in the first three rows of the periodic table 

· Relate the organization of the periodic table to the arrangement of electrons within an atom

· Locate alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals, transition metals on the periodic table

· Locate metalloids, halogens and noble gases on the periodic table

· Relate an elements chemical properties to the electron arrangement of its atoms
