In chemistry it is very important to understand the properties of elements in order to predict their effects on other elements and compounds during chemical reactions. This information can be used to formulate a hypothesis for a reaction, or better understand the chemical processes that may have occurred in a reaction.

∙ 11y agoMost people will never work professionally as chemists, or chemistry teachers, and do not have a direct need to know about chemistry, however, we all live in the Earth's environment, we breathe the air, drink the water, and eat the food that has been polluted by various technological processes, so we are all affected. In a democratic society, citizens need to be well informed, so that they can vote intelligently for politicians who will act appropriately, and in a modern, technological world, being well informed definitely includes knowing something about elements and their properties.

In a consumer's point of view, it is important to know properties of elements, even just the common ones, so we will be able to identify which will be harmful for us and which will not.

What do you know about the elements that are in the same vertical column?
They are called groups and have similar properties with the other elements in that group.
Why were the elements Ga Sc and Ge important to Mendeleev?
Ga, Sc and Ge were important to Mendeleev because these three elements have the same physical and chemical properties.
Why are atoms arranged in periods?
Because this arrangement of chemical elements is rational, satisfy the need of classification in chemistry and is very important for the study of chemical and physical properties of chemical elements, including the new discovered or prepared elements.
Which elements have several properties?
All elements have several properties.
What elements have the same properties as xenon?
No two elements have the same properties.
What important subatomic part determines the elements chemical properties?
Electrons.
What role of properties of elements and simple molecules play in chemical evolution?
The most important is the electronegativity of chemical elements.
What do you know about the elements that are in the same vertical column?
They are called groups and have similar properties with the other elements in that group.
Why were the elements Ga Sc and Ge important to Mendeleev?
Ga, Sc and Ge were important to Mendeleev because these three elements have the same physical and chemical properties.
What are two important properties of elements?
Examples: density, melting point, refractive index.
What elements lack most of the properties of metal?
It nonmetal ! I know this one! I had it on a worksheet!
Why are atoms arranged in periods?
Because this arrangement of chemical elements is rational, satisfy the need of classification in chemistry and is very important for the study of chemical and physical properties of chemical elements, including the new discovered or prepared elements.
Are the properties of a compound the same of the properties of its elements?
the properties of a compound are not the same as the elements that form them.
Which elements have several properties?
All elements have several properties.
What does the arrangement of the periodic table help table scientists see?
Patterns in the elements’ properties. -Apex
How does combining elements into compounds affect their properties?
The properties of the compound will differ from the properties of the elements of which it is made.
Why is it important to know chemical properties of substances?
Yes!
