Step-by-step solution for: Periodic Table Scavenger Hunt Worksheet
Let's solve each question step by step using the periodic table:
---
- Element number 14 is Silicon (Si).
---
- The symbol for californium is Cf.
---
- Bismuth has an atomic number of 83, so it has 83 protons.
---
- Argon belongs to the noble gases group (Group 18).
---
- Cadmium (Cd) has an atomic mass of approximately 112.41.
- Zinc (Zn) has an atomic mass of approximately 65.38.
- Therefore, cadmium has a higher mass.
---
- The atomic mass of carbon is approximately 12.01.
---
- The elements from atomic numbers 57–71 are called the lanthanides.
---

---
- The first basic metal on the periodic table is lithium (Li).
---
- Tin (Sn) is in Group 14 (carbon group).
- Antimony (Sb) is in Group 15 (nitrogen group).
- False, they are not in the same group.
---
- The alkali metals are in Group 1: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr.
- The heaviest alkali metal is francium (Fr).
---
- Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, so it has 12 protons.
---
- Sulfur (S), Oxygen (O), and Nitrogen (N) are nonmetals.
- Silicon (Si) is a semimetal (also called a metalloid).
- Silicon is not a nonmetal.
---
- The element with the symbol W is tungsten.
---
- The element with an atomic mass of 106.42 is rhodium (Rh).
---
- Astatine (At) belongs to the halogen group (Group 17).
---
- The element with the symbol Ba is barium.
---
- The letter J is never used in any element symbol.
