The periodic table is the most important organizing principle in chemistry. There is a regular progression in the periodic table that reflects a similar regularity in the structures and properties of the different elements. If you know the properties of any one element in a group, you can make a good guess at the properties
of every other element in the same group and even the elements in neighboring groups. Familiarizing yourself with the structure and arrangement of the periodic table early on will help you later on in chemistry.
Part A
Classify the following elements as main group elements, transition metals, or inner transition metals.
Drag the appropriate elements to their respective bins.

(a) Are the elements calcium, barium, and radium in the same group or same period in the periodic table? (b) Are the elements rhodium, cadmium, and tin in the same group or period?
Four main-group elements a, b, c and d are highlighted in the outline of the Periodic Table below:
List these elements below in order of decreasing atomic radius. For example, if an atom of a is the biggest, and b the next biggest, then your list should start
b, ...

Important: don't try to figure out exactly which elements are marked, and then use your knowledge of the properties of each specific element. You don't need
to. You will also be marked wrong for any answer, correct or not, that can't be determined from only the rough location of each marked element in the Periodic
Table.
