LESSON 5.  Symmetry of Elements - Worksheet

MATERIALS: Periodic Table of Elements Placemat

  1. How many states of matter does the periodic table of Elements show?

     

  2. List the elements that have the listed symmetry.  Use the symbols
Type of symmetry List elements
Cubic, face centered
Cubic, body centered
Cubic
Hexagonal
Rhombohedra
Tetragona
Orthorhombic
Monoclinic

  1.  How many do not have a crystal shape design?  

     Why do some not have a crystal structure designation (clue – are they synthetically prepared)? 

  2. Can you see any patterns?

  3. Do the different states of matter have simple crystal shapes or is there no correlation?
