 The period table of the elements is a chart of the building blocks of the universe. Elements are organized by their atomic number and separated according to properties of metals and non-metals. Metals are categorized as: actinoids, alkali, alkaline, lanthanoids, metalloids, transition metals and post transition metals. Non-metals are categorized as either noble gases or non-metals. The periodic table visualizes trends between elements. 

• the Elements having similar features are grouped together
• the Atomic Radius increases from top to bottom and decreases from left to right
• the Electronegativity increases left to right across the rows and decreases top to bottom down a column

The periodic table of elements placemat will help a young student predict the properties of elements depending on their location in the table place setting.

 What's the Back Story:

Imagine the periodic table is a chessboard. You are a knight, standing on Arsenic (As), what are the elements on which you could land?

There are 8 possible elements: Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), Chlorine (Cl), Iodine (I), Polonium (Po), Lead (Pb), Indium (In) and Aluminum (Al).

Memorizing the table helps a scientist immediately identify the chemical properties of any of the elements based on their location.
