Hi, I need help on how to devise a game for Chemistry using elements 1-20, and the game has to be based on the properties of the elements...any help? I thought of doing something like trivia, but I dunno how...thx.
 
GO FISH or SCRABBLE with a deck of 20 elements. You can lay down a three or more atom compound?
H<sub>2</sub>O, H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>
More points for "hard" compounds, less for "easy" ones. Not sure about inert elements nor the frequency of them.

I can't even play GO FISH, or SCRABLE,

the game has to review the concepts (not all, some; or any):
Periodicity
Atoms
Physical Properties
Chemical Properties
Conductivity
Reactivity
Atomic Mass
Single-displacement reaction
Law of Definite proportions
Measurements
Mole
Properties of electrons
Location of protons
Nucleus
Dalton's Atomic theory
Hydrogen Line spectrum
Frequency
Wavelength
Bohr atomic model
Electromagnetic energy
Ionization energy
Period
Group
Electron configuration
Thomson's atomic model
Rutherford's atomic model
Ion
Noble Gas
Valence electrons
 
"location of protons" !?! Last I checked, they're in the nucleus. Do you mean location of electrons, as in orbitals s, p, d, f, etc.?

Perhaps a game with a double deck (two of each card), in which each player is dealt 5 cards, and the object is to get rid of all your cards. Top card on deck is used to start a discard pile. Each player must play a card of either the same period or family as the top card on the pile, or else they have to draw an additional card. Obviously, this only teaches which periods and family the elements are in. Simple -- just a thought...
