Lesson Title: Today we are learning about
What are the properties of Group 0 elements?
Remember to check for PROGRESS
Focus on Knowledge, Skills and Understanding
Success Criteria: You will show your learning by...
  1. Students should be able to explain how the reactions of elements are related to the arrangement of electrons in their atoms and hence to their atomic number.
  2. The elements in Group 0 of the periodic table are called the noble gases.
  3. The elements in Group 0 of the periodic table are unreactive and do not easily form molecules because their atoms have stable arrangements of electrons.
  4. The noble gases have eight electrons in their outer shell, except for helium, which has only two electrons.
  5. The boiling points of the noble gases increase with increasing relative atomic mass (going down the group).
  6. Students should be able to explain how properties of the elements in Group 0 depend on the outer shell of electrons of the atoms
  7. Students should be able to predict properties from given trends down the group.
Think about how you can match the needs of ALL students
Keywords:
  • boiling point: temperature at which a substance changes state from a solid to a liquid (1)
  • stable: elements that are not reactive because they have a full outside shell of electrons (1)
  • Noble gases: unreactive group of elements (1)

AFL/Key Questions:
  1. Which group of the periodic table are also named the nobel gases?
    Group 0
  2. Describe in terms of electron structure as to why all of the nobel gases are unreactive
    They all have a full outer shell of electrons, as a result do not easily form molecules
  3. What is the same about the electron structure for all elements in Group 0 (noble gases)?
    All elements in Group 0 (noble gases) have a full outer shell of electrons.
  4. Describe the trend in boiling point down group 0
    Boiling points increase with relative atomic mass (as you go down the group)

Remember to check for PROGRESS
Starter Activity Differentiation and Challenge question/task
  • Students to copy and complete the keywords.
  • Teacher reveals missing letters; Students correct mistakes;
  • Discuss the scientific meanings of the words.
  • Students to write down the definitions of the most important / new keywords.
  • Discuss the 'Memory Anchor'.
    • What does it show?
    • How does it relate to the what we are learning about today (title)?
Think about PACE – Develop, consolidate and deepen knowledge, skills and understanding
