About Group and Period Chemistry
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
This unit sits in the Inorganic Chemistry strand of Chemistry. It follows the periodic table by group and by period. You will find material on Group 2, Group 7, Period 3, the p-block and the transition metals.
- Group 2: the mind map on Group 2- Alkaline Earth Metals shows atomic radius increasing down the group, first ionisation energy decreasing and reactivity increasing.
- Group 7: the Group 7 - Halogens mind map covers electronegativity and physical state, with fluorine and chlorine as gases, bromine as a liquid and iodine and astatine as solids.
- Period 3: the Period 3 mind map compares sodium and magnesium and how each loses electrons.
- Transition metals: a flashcard deck asks what a transition metal is and how chromium d-orbitals fill.
Where to start
Begin with the mind map called Inorganic Chemistry. It gives a wide view of periodicity, Group 2, the halogens and Period 3. Then choose one group and read its notes. The notes on Group 7 Elements: Redox Reactions list the halogens and their physical properties. For the p-block, the notes on p-block elements explain how the absence of d-orbitals in the second and third periods affects properties.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and try a quiz. The quiz Chapter 23 - The Transition Metals asks about typical properties and the electron configuration of copper. The quiz on Group 2 flame tests and the test for ammonium ions suits the s-block. If you miss a question, go back to the branch of the map that covers it.
Flashcards work well for equations and trends. Decks such as Group 2 and Group 7 Equations are handy for short, regular practice.
Who it helps
School students can revise for GCSE, IGCSE or A-level courses, and the listed resources mention AQA A-level Chemistry too. Teachers can pick ready-made maps and decks to share with a class.
Choose a group, work through one map and one quiz, then see what you remember.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Start with the Inorganic Chemistry mind map for an overview of periodicity, Group 2, the halogens and Period 3. Then pick one group and read its notes, such as the notes on Group 7 Elements: Redox Reactions, before testing yourself with a quiz.
Which topics do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover Group 2, Group 7, Period 3, the p-block, transition metals, ammonia, oxygen and oxides, and Group 14. There are over 200 in total, so you can often compare several versions of the same topic and choose the layout that suits you.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention A-level Chemistry, AQA A-level Chemistry, GCSE Chemistry and IGCSE Chemistry. Most are at school level, with a smaller share for university students. Check each resource against your own course before relying on it.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. Over 330 contributors have added notes, maps, decks and quizzes, so styles and depth vary. Comparing a few on the same topic can help you spot gaps.
Are there quizzes for transition metals?
Yes. The quiz Chapter 23 - The Transition Metals asks about typical properties and copper's electron configuration. There is also a quiz on whether transition metals are hard or soft, and one on coordination compounds.
