    • 6.1: Background
      This page discusses Mendeleev's periodic table, emphasizing its predictive power regarding undiscovered elements and trends in reactivity and atomic size. It defines key concepts essential for understanding element properties, including atomic radius, electronegativity, ionization energy, and electron affinity.
    • 6.2: Task
      This page offers a detailed guide for analyzing atomic properties data in Excel. It covers formatting data into tables, creating scatter plots to visualize trends, and filtering data by periodic table group numbers. The goal is to help readers derive insights on properties like atomic radius and ionization energy through organized datasets and graphical representations.
    • 6.3: Laboratory Questions
      This page helps guide students through the process of interpreting the data obtained by making graphs in Excel of four periodic trends.
