It includes all of the OCR A level chemistry specification section 3.1. Each topic includes a fully interactive PowerPoint including starter, group activities, questions and plenary along with a worksheet. Answers to all exercises are provided. Some of the resources include a PowerPoint quiz. This bundle is part of a series covering the OCR AS Chemistry specification and relates to the following sections: Module 3 – The Periodic table and energy Part 1 –The Periodic Table 3.1.1 Periodicity 3.1.2 Group 2 3.1.3 The halogens 3.1.4 Qualitative analysis Content covered: Periodic table past and present • The history of the periodic table, including Newlands’ and Mendeleev’s contributions • The structure of the modern periodic table – periods, groups and blocks • Relationship between electron configuration and the periodic table • Periodicity – the variation in properties when plotted against atomic number • Periodicity and metallic character • Metal and non-metals Periodicity of ionisation energies and melting points • First ionisation energy – definition • Factors affecting ionisation energies: nuclear charge, atomic radius and shielding • Explanation of shielding • Successive ionisation energies • Predicting group from successive ionisation energies • Periodicity of first ionisation energies • Trends across a period and down a group • Explanations of small decreases from group 2 to group 3 and from group 5 to group 6 • Periodicity of structure of elements: giant metallic, giant covalent and simple molecular structures • Periodicity of melting points and explanation in terms of structure.
