This course contains seven modules:

• Features of Periodic Table
• Periodic Trends
• Group I Alkali Metals
• Group VII Elements - Halogens
• Group O Elements - Noble Gases
• Transition Elements
• Mind Map Exercise for Course Summary

Students will learn to:

• Periodic Trends
• Identify the Group and Period in Periodic Table.
• Name Group I, II, VII and O in Periodic Table.
• Describe the Periodic Table as an arrangement of the elements in the order of increasing proton (atomic) number.
• Describe how the position of an element in the Periodic Table is related to proton number and electronic structure.
• Explain the similarities between the elements in the same group of the Periodic Table in terms of their electronic structure.
• Describe the change from metallic to non-metallic character from left to right across a period of the Periodic Table.
• Describe the change in following trends across a period.
• Describe the relationship between group number, number of valency electrons and metallic/non-metallic character.
• Group Properties
• Describe lithium, sodium and potassium in Group I (the alkali metals) as a collection of relatively soft, low density metals showing a trend in melting point and in their reaction with water.
• Describe chlorine, bromine and iodine in Group VII (the halogens) as a collection of diatomic non-metals showing a trend in colour, state and their displacement reactions with solutions of other halide ions.
• Predict the properties of elements in Group I and Group VII using the Periodic Table.
• Describe the lack of reactivity of the elements in Group 0 (noble gases) in terms of their electronic structures.
