Matrix 2: The Periodic Table
Interactives - The Periodic Table
Take a tour of the different groups one at a time.
When you look at the periodic table, it is very apparent that the elements have been organized into some kind of order, in rows and columns. The groups are numbered according to several different conventions, but the most commonly accepted method is the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) system, which labels the groups from left to right with numbers 1 through 18. This is the system we will be using. Performance Assessment:
