Electronic configuration and the periodic table drag & drop.

(0)
Simply drag the configurations to the correct box, if it is correct it will stick and you will receive praise, if not it will invite you to try again. Open in a flash-enabled browser or windows media player, and maximise the window. I am working on a version for html5. Useful for reinforcing the basis of the periodic table.

Useful as a starter round the board. Drag the models next to the correct name. If it is correct it will stick, if not it won't. This tests understanding of functional groups and different types of molecular model. Double click on the FuncDragAndDrop.html file, and you're there
Recognising the Type of Reaction

Recognising the Type of Reaction

(0)
One of the most useful skills in answering many GCSE chemistry questions is to work out what type of reaction is involved in the question. This helps you work out what the products may be, but also answer other questions about the reaction. Students often find this very difficult, mainly due to a lack of practice and experience. This simple information sheet with questions at the back is in black and white so can be readily photocopied.
