Atomic Science: Periodic Table.

Today in Science I will be talking about the Periodic Table

 What does the periodic show us?

The Periodic table shows us all the elements and their weight mass. It is in order from the amount of atomic numbers and electrons it has.

Alkaline Metals 

What is a Alkaline Metal?

The Alkaline metal is in the first column in the periodic table.  Alkaline Metals reacts with anything because it doesn't have enough electrons in its outer shell.

They are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium(Cs), and francium (Fr).

What did I see during the experiment?  When the Alkaline Metal was added to the cold water and the universal indicator.  It was going around in a circle then it caught on fire.  It caught on fire because the metal only has one electron in its outer shell so the metal reacted to get rid of its electron.
