Periodic Properties Postlab

Analysis Questions:
1. Calculate and record the densities of tin, silicon, and lead in Table 1.
2. Prepare a graph of density vs. period number for tin, silicon, and lead.
3. Use the graph to estimate the density of germanium. Compare your estimate with the accepted density of germanium ( 5.3 g/cc). Explain any deviation.
Conclusion:
Write a conclusion that addresses the following ideas:
-- Based on the data table, hypothesize how density might vary among the elements in other groups in the periodic table.
-- Test your hypothesis by looking at the density graphs for groups 1A though 8A in the Elements Handbook of your textbook.
-- Make your own prediction about what element 114 might be like, if scientists succeed in synthesizing it.
