Identifying Properties of Lithium and Silicon

Have students analyze the periodic tables in order to identify chemical and physical properties of lithium and silicon (the elements from the video mentioned in car grease, lubricants, and oils). Further, have students explain what properties are mainly involved in lithium and silicon atoms’ willingness to react with other elements in chemical reactions.
