Researching Groups and Elements in the Periodic Table- please help me get started, I dont know what to do, asa?

Researching Groups and Elements in the Periodic Table Overview: The periodic table includes groups of elements with unique and useful capabilities. Such capabilities are due to the properties of the elements, such as ionization energy, atomic radius, and boiling point. Choose one group in the periodic table to research, excluding the noble gases. Use your textbook (Appendixes A and B provide information about groups and elements in the periodic table) and the Internet to perform your research. Procedure: 1.For each element in the group you have chosen, list the name of the element, the element’s symbol, atomic number, mass number, melting and boiling points, electronegativity value, atomic radius (pm), and first ionization energy (kJ/mol). Organize the information in a table. 2.Use Microsoft Excel to create one line graph of ionic radius (y-axis) versus atomic number (x-axis) and a second line graph of first ionization energy versus atomic number. To create the first line graph in Microsoft Excel: •Enter the atomic number values in column A and enter the ionic radius values in column B of an Excel worksheet. •Left click and highlight all the data in both columns. •Select Insert and then Chart from the tool bar to use the Chart wizard. •Select XY (Scatter). Select the Chart sub-type in the first column and second row of those displayed. (Scatter with data points connected by smoothed lines.) Click Next. •Click Next again. Add a title and label the axes of the graph. Click Next. •The Chart location should default to As object in: Sheet 1. If the location does not default to this setting select this option. Click Finish. •Select Sheet2 and repeat the above steps to create a line graph of first ionization energy versus atomic number.

Try the halogens (Br, Cl, etc) Atomic #= # of protons, and this is the number above every element in the table You should be able to find all the info in wikipedia
