The purpose of this lab was to analyze the trends of the atomic radius (AR) and the first ionization energy (IE) for the first 36 elements of the periodic table.
Procedure:
A piece of graph paper was given out by the teacher.
A periodic table that has the atomic number, atomic radius (AR), and first ionization energy (IE) was given out by the teacher.
A sheet of paper was taken out to record the elements, atomic number, atomic radius (AR), and the first ionization energy (IE).
To record the data, a chart that was split into four sections was made.
After recording all the data, the periodic table was given back to the teacher.
Using the data on that have been recorded, it was used to create a double line graph.
A legend was created …show more content…

After recording all the data, the periodic table was given back to the teacher.
Using the data on that have been recorded, it was used to create a double line graph.
A legend was created for the graph.
The peaks on the atomic radius line was labelled.
The troughs on the atomic radius line was labelled.
The peaks on the first ionization energy line was labelled.
The troughs on the first ionization energy line was labelled.
Discussion:
The elements that are on the peak of the AR graph are hydrogen, lithium, sodium, aluminum, potassium, and gallium. The group name for the elements of hydrogen, lithium, sodium, and potassium is called the Alkali Metals and it is the first group on the Periodic table. The group name for the elements of aluminum and gallium is called the Boron group and it is located in group 13 or 3A in the periodic
