Unraveling the Trends in Melting and Boiling Points of Elements: A Comprehensive Practical Investigation

Unraveling the Trends in Melting and Boiling Points of Elements: A Comprehensive Practical Investigation

Investigate the fascinating trends in melting and boiling points of elements in this practical exploration of alkali metals, halogens, and noble gases. Gain insights into the structure and bonding within these elements and learn how their position in the periodic table influences their properties. This investigation will guide you through selecting elements, researching their melting and boiling points, plotting the data on a graph, and analyzing the trends in relation to the structure and bonding of the elements. Enhance your understanding of these important properties and uncover the secrets behind the periodic table!

Exploring Periodic Trends in Oxide Acidity and Basicity: A Practical Investigation

Exploring Periodic Trends in Oxide Acidity and Basicity: A Practical Investigation

In this blog post, we explore a practical investigation designed to help you understand the periodic trends in oxide acidity and basicity. By preparing solutions of different metal and non-metal oxides, you'll test their pH using a pH meter or universal indicator and analyze the underlying principles that determine these trends. You'll gain insight into the relationship between the position of elements in the periodic table and the acidity or basicity of their corresponding oxides. This hands-on approach to learning will deepen your understanding of electronegativity, chemical bonding, and the fascinating world of periodic trends. Join us as we dive into this exciting chemistry experiment!

TED Periodic Table Videos

TED Periodic table videos A fantastic resource by the University of Nottingham where they have produced a video on all 118 elements. Each video (where possible) shows the elements in their natural state and their common reactions. They have also produced a QR code version of the periodic table so that students can interact and … Continue reading TED Periodic Table Videos →
