IB Chemistry Topic 3: Periodicity

Topic 3: Periodicity

A Periodic Table

Seems legit!

Periodicity is concerned with the trends and patterns in the  physical and chemical behaviour of the elements in the periodic table. In this unit we will look at:

  • The structure and nature of the periodic table
  • Trends in physical properties across periods and down groups
  • Trends in chemical properties across periods and down groups
  • Transition metal complexes.

 

This unit will be assessed by a joint test along with Topic 4: Bonding.

 

Presentation:

You are strongly encouraged to use this in lessons, and make notes on it. Used in conjunction with the experiments  and other activities it more or less contains everything you need to know. This can be viewed on most laptops, smart phones and tablets!
