Can you give the properties of iron, sulphur and iron sulphide? Iron: Magnetic, metal, pure elment, shiny silver Sulphur: Non magnetic, non metal, pure element, yellow. Iron Sulphide: Non magnetic, compound, dark grey.
Can you show how the properties of the Iron Sulphide differ from that of the individual elements of iron and sulphur? Passing a magnet near the new substance shows that it is not magnetic any more.
Can you compare the properties of the following compounds to their individual elements – H2O, CO2? H2O: Hydrogen is a flammable gas and oxygen is essential in combustion, but combined they make a liquid that is not flammable.

Can you identify groups 1 to 8 on the periodic table? The elements in a group have similar physical or chemical characteristic of the outermost electron shells of their atoms
Can you identify periods 1 to 7 on the periodic table? The elements of the same period have the same number of shells. Period 1 = 1 shell, Period 2 = 2 shells...
Can you give the names for group 1, group 2, group 7 and group 8? 1 Alkali, 2 Alkaline earth metals, 3 Boron group, 4 Carbon group, 5 Nitrogen, 6 oxygen group, 7 Halogens, 8 Noble gasses.
Can you describe why group 8 elements do not react with other elements? Their outer shells are full and they do not want to take on or give away any electrons.
