Answer:
1. Looking at the line plots on your graph, describe how boiling point and melting point vary with respect to atomic number.
As the atomic number increases, the boiling point increases due to there being more electrons, which creates a larger strength of negative charge around the nucleus of the atom.
2. Now look at the segment of the graph between the two data points marked with black squares. Describe how the boiling point and melting point plots behave between these points. Be as specific as possible.
The graph shows relation between the melting point and the boiling point
3. On your graph, the data points between the black squares are data for elements with atomic numbers 3 through 9. Locate these elements on your periodic table. What term or description would you use to identify these elements with respect to the periodic table?
All of these elements can be found in the second period of the periodic table.
6. After reviewing your answers to questions 2 and 4 above, would you define boiling point and melting point as a periodic table family trend (vertical groups), period trend (horizontal rows), or neither? Explain your answer.
Neither, boiling and melting point per element varies from element to element on the periodic table. Family trends and period trends determine what kind of element each aspect is.
7. Using the room temperature line (orange line) and your periodic table, make lists that identify the state of matter (gas, liquid, or solid) in which each element you plotted exists at room temperature. Explain your answers.
Gas would be room temperature because it fills up its container and helps the temperature of the room.
