Question

Help with Chemistry elements & questions!

Answer 1

I have to do a chemistry game involving the periodic table or elements. It is going to be a game like Where's Waldo (Wally). Only it has to be educational. I am going to do it with finding the elements that do not belong in one section. Such as what elements here do not have more than 4 valence electrons, how many valence electrons do they have? Things like that. The thing is I need help with more questions, that you could come up with that I could use on the game & they must be educational. This is for high school 11th grade chemistry Honors. I would also like to know what I could add to make the game better. All opinions & thoughts are appreciated.

Answer 2

so you want facts/clues that pertain to an element but do not give away it's identity?

like "what is the most popular liquid metal at room temp?" -Hg

Answer 3

Yes things like that. I also need help with things involved in the game. By that I mean that if I put pictures or drawings of elements on the board, they must have to find the ones that don't belong there. Like I could put the Alkali metals & Alkali Earth Metals in there, they belong on the board, but you have to find the elements that don't belong. Such as Neon argon or carbon. Then after they have found them. I ask them a question like, 'Which of the Elements found that don't belong on the board has the highest electronegativity?
