This is the second part of the electronic configuration PPT that I have made that will cover AS and A2 knowledge required - including the Aufbau and Hund’s principle. Stability of ions, filling of sub-shell including transition metals, etc. Hope it helps people.

This resource worked well with my students when it came to understanding Distillation & Reflux experiment setup. In the power point there will be a handout to print (the last slide) and then an animated slide that reveals the answers one by for the teacher to explain EACH step/point of the process. The rest of the animated slides make it very clear where students make the most common mistakes during the experiment. The final slide are 4 KEY points summarised in case students have missed them during the lesson. e.g WRONG SET UP (1) – REFLUX & DISTILLATION WRONG SET UP (2) – DISTILLATION WRONG SET UP (3) – REFLUX OVER HEATING (4) – REFLUX & DISTILLATION

This recent Power Point, with animation, I have created to make it easy to cover the MAIN points on this topic. Many books make it too complicated for non-physicist !. It contains 5 slides that covers the basic from SHE to Cell notation. Then another 4 slides which goes through slowly an exam question, including the official mark linked to the worked out answer. The last 3 three must be printed out as a worksheet for students to annotate or write on as the first 5 slides are explained as shown.

As mentioned above another PPT that shows clearly students how to tackle Hess’ Law questions. Explaining vectors for the NON-MATHS learners - followed by simple examples and one exam style question.
