Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the fourth meeting of the European and External Relations Committee in session 5. I'd like to remind members and the public to turn off mobile phones to ensure they don't interfere with the broadcasting equipment, and any members using electronic devices to access committee papers during the meeting should ensure that they're switched to silent. No apologies have been received today. Before we proceed to the first item on our agenda, I'd like to welcome our two new members, Emma Harper and Stuart McMillan to the committee, and I look forward to working with you both. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing members, Ash Denham and Bruce Crawford. It was a pleasure to work with both of them, albeit for a very short period of time. On behalf of the committee, I wish them well. Item 1 on the agenda is declaration of interest. I'd like to invite Emma Harper and Stuart McMillan to declare any interests that they might have that are relevant to the committee's work. For me, it might not be an interest at the moment, but I have a partnership with my husband in a bed and breakfast in Dumfries. Thank you, convener. Certainly, when I was at university, I set my first course, which was through the Socrates Erasmus scheme, and when I stood on to doing my masters, I obtained funding from European social fund. Thank you very much, Stuart McMillan. Item 2 is the decision on taking business in private. Item 3 is consideration of the committee's initial report on the EU referendum and its implications for Scotland. Item 4 is consideration of the committee's work programme. Are members agreed? We now move into private session.


Introduction to the Periodic Table In 1869, a Russian scientist named Dmitry Mendeleev made a chart of the known elements. The chart is called the Periodic Table of Elements. The Periodic Table shows elements arranged according to atomic number. Atomic number is the total number of protons in the nucleus. Each row across the table is called a period. There are seven periods. Each element in the period has the same number of electron shells. Each column in the table is called a group or family of elements. The two rows of elements shown below the original table were discovered after Mendeleev developed his original organizational table. This table shows you where they would fit in if we would add them to the original table. We don't add them to the table because they would shift the original organization Mendeleev created, putting the elements out of line. Therefore, they are not highlighted when showing the groups. Elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties. They also have the same number of electrons in their outermost shells. For example, group 1A elements are known as the alkali metals. They are soft, shiny metals that are good conductors of heat and electricity. They also have low melting points. All metals are on the left side of the table. Non-metals are on the right side of the table. A step-like line separates them. Each box in the table gives you important information about the element. The symbol for the element. The name of the element. The atomic number. The atomic weight. You have completed this learning object. Introduction to the periodic table.
