The Early Periodic Table C3.1 By the 1860's over 50 elements had been discovered. So scientists attempted to sort the elements into a logical sequence. There were two main scientists that contributed to sorting the elements. These were, ...

Group 1 - Alkali metals Group 1 metals are known as the 'alkali metals'. Group 1 metals include lithium, sodium and potassium. As you go down group 1, the alkali metals become more reactive - the outer electron is more easily lost beca...

About The Periodic Table
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit spans the whole route through the periodic table. Early resources look at how the table developed: the mind map History of the Periodic Table explains that in the early 1800s chemists could only use atomic mass, with no idea of atomic structure. The MENDELEEV mind map follows on from there. Then come the groups: Group 1, Group 2, Group 7 and the transition metals, each with mind maps, notes and flashcards.
Trends and periodicity
Several mind maps pull the trends together. Periodic Trends covers electronegativity, ionic radius, first ionisation energy and atomic radius. Periodicity goes further, with trends across Period 3, oxides, chlorides, complexes, coloured compounds and variable oxidation states. Flashcard decks such as Trends across period 3 help with the key terms.
Where to start
- Begin with The Periodic Table mind map or the notes on the early periodic table to get the overall layout.
- Move to a single group, such as the Group 1 - Alkali metals mind map, then Group 7 - The Halogens.
- Turn to Periodic Trends once the groups feel familiar.
- Finish with the transition metals and periodicity maps if your course goes that far.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Quizzes such as The First 20 Elements Quiz, Halogens and Group 2 Elements show quickly which branches you skipped. Go back to the map for those and check again. The listed resources mention GCSE, IGCSE, A-level and IB courses, so check which matches yours.
Where it fits
This unit sits in the strand Atoms, Bonding and the Periodic Table, within Chemistry. Teachers can use the ready-made slide sets and maps in lessons. Choose one resource today and see how far you get.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map called The Periodic Table or the notes on the early periodic table. They give you the overall layout. After that, pick a group, such as the Group 1 - Alkali metals mind map, and work towards the trends.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover the history of the table, Mendeleev, Group 1, Group 2, Group 7, transition metals and periodic trends. The Periodicity mind map goes further, with Period 3 trends, oxides, chlorides, complexes and coloured compounds.
Are these 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 the resources suit?
The listed resources mention GCSE Chemistry, AQA GCSE Chemistry, IGCSE Chemistry, A-level Chemistry and IB Chemistry, along with a few others such as MCAT. Nearly all of the material is at secondary level.
Who made these resources?
They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. That means styles and depth vary, so it helps to compare a mind map, a set of notes and a quiz on the same topic.
Is there something for learning the first elements?
Yes. There are several quizzes and flashcard decks on the first 20 elements, including The First 20 Elements On The Periodic Table, plus a quiz on elements 1-36 and one on symbol abbreviations.
