Periodic Table 10/1

Summary: This week in class we learned about the Periodic Table of Elements. The Periodic Table is how we organize the atom elements based on the increasing atomic number aka the number of protons. The other way the table is sorted is atomic families that take on similar atomic properties like reactivity of the atom. Other information the Periodic Table of Elements gives is the atomic mass (protons + neutrons) and the atomic charge (Protons - electrons depending which has more).

SP5: Using mathematics and computational thinking
This week in class we used mathematics to calculate various things for the periodic table. The first thing we used math calculate was the charge of an element by finding what amount of protons or electrons were higher then subtracting them to find the positive (more protons) or negative (more electrons). We then used math to calculate the atomic mass of an atom by adding the protons and the neutrons
