1. Transition metals are the most conductive of the elements. Also, among these metals are well known ones, like iron, silver or gold. 2. Noble gases are the most stable of the elements, and are located on the far right. 3. Larger atoms tend to be more radioactive. Like uranium, or plutonium. ADC
I found the information about the low melting temperature of gallium interesting. I found the fact that gallium is radioactive even more interesting. CJB
I found the alkaline metals, the most interesting because they hade a reputation of being explosive. I also found ionizing very interesting and how it would lose an Adam when they came in contacted with water. E.D.B.
This video was very interesting, it had a lot of fascinating facts. I thought the story of the disappearing spoon was cool. I liked it thought it was interesting that when the guy stirred the tea with the spoon made out of gallium was exciting. He got my interest when he said that chlorine was used as poison in world war 1. I did not know that you could control electricity. The metalloids groups is what can control electricity, but interestingly they don;t play the big roll of electricity. I wonder if they could bring all the elements of the periodic table into one and create a bomb.A.P.H
It was so neat when the spoon melted in the tea! it would probably be unsafe to drink the tea afterwards, because gallium is radioactive! The CHNOPS was a really helpful way to remember the non metal elements: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, and selenium. JMJ
1. I found the book interesting. 2. the way that the man who made the table made it is amazing, I mean who is able to predict elements before they where found! 3. Are we able to get some low melting point metal to trick the kids who didn't watch this video?;-}
1. I thought that the 600 pound block of gold was cool and how would you even transport it. 2.i thought that the video was very interesting...The way that he put all of those pictures and that video inside the video was cool. 3.i think that we should do some experiments with the low melting point metals and with the noble gases...That would be a fun thing to do in class.

There was a lot of detail in this video! I liked the 600 pound block of gold. My favourite part of the video was the melting spoon, that was fascinating. I would like to try that, haha. JJP
I thought the disappearing spoon was neat because it didn't disappear, it melted. The spoon was made out of Gallium, which has a low melting point. It was amazing to see how the periodic table was set up into sections for specific elements. There was a section called akali, akilane, halogen, metalloid, etc. Chnops helped me a lot, because I memorize or learn a lot of things that way. MJS
On the left side of the table is the alkali and alkaline. On the right side are the noble gasses. And in the middle is the where all the transition metals are. This is where they all look alike but have very different characteristics. Also, there are metalloids, they are conductors of electricity, but not fully. then at the bottom of the table there is uranium, and it is on of the larger substances. the lanthanides and actinides, are misplaced because of the amount of space the table would take up otherwise. In addition, things at the bottom of the table tend to be radio active. LGS

i thought it was really cool how the elements help us in every day life. it was also cool how some metals can melt in boiling water
