Periodic Table: Chemistry

This course will investigate the evolution of the modern version of the periodic table. As our knowledge has grown, so too have the number of elements which we can call upon for specialized scientific needs.

Course Introduction This course covers Chemistry Topic C3.1: Periodic Table for Paper 3 of the AQA GCSE Chemistry course. Topics covered in this course include: The early periodic table The modern periodic table Trends within the periodic table Only students sitting the Higher Tier paper need to be able to explain the trends in reactivity within groups in the periodic table in terms of movement of electrons.  

Groups are sets of elements that have common attributes or properties. Group 0 are what are known as the Noble Gases. Group 1 contains the Alkali Metals. Group 7 are the Halogens. How do they reach other substances such as air and water?

Learn the language of the periodic table, such as the Octet Rule, Oxidation, Reduction, Displacement Reactions and Ion. These flashcards will help you recall the important terms in this branch of chemistry.

There are ten questions here to test your understanding of what we have covered in the periodic table course, so far. These questions are mostly multiple choice, with some fill in the blanks for specific reactions.

Some of the most common elements used by our species are what are known as Transition Metals. Iron, copper and titanium are some examples. These also share many common properties such as similar melting points...etc

Six short questions to help you revise your knowledge of transition metals. These cover issues such as conductivity, ionization and the Haber process.

These notes contain practical experiments to conduct with regard to this course on the Periodic Table. These experiments should be performed in a laboratory and, as always, all necessary safety regulations should be observed.
