I post things that are finished and that work. I make resources when I can't find anything that works in the way which I want it to. If they don't work for you then let me know through the comments section and I'll try to put them right. If they do work and you like them then please comment too. Some things take a long time to make and to get right... so I charge a little for those.

Empirical Formulae instructions and calculations

(7)
How to calculate the empirical formula of a compound from the masses of the elements in it or the percentage composition. \nA written explanation, a worked example in two formats and a series of calculations to try out.\nComments and feedback welcome.\n\nNow includes answer sheet
Atom structure starter

How many atoms are there in me? starter.
mrlowemrlowe

How many atoms are there in me? starter.

(2)
I don't know what prompted it but a student asked me, 'How many atoms are there in me?' After a quick calculation based on her mass and the atoms all being carbon, the number was too big to visualise. Hence the subsequent question from the same student, 'So how big would that be if every atom was a one pence piece?'\n\nThis is the result. Thanks Niamh, for the original question
