C9 The Periodic Table (Combined Science)

GCSE s-cool – The Periodic Table (we don’t need group II) – revision notes & animations, practise exam questions & a revision summary. Skoool Chemistry – Elements of the Periodic Table for excellent lessons on the different groups. For Doc Brown’s Chemistry quizzes, word-fills, crosswords and study notes go here and just scroll down. Chemactive worksheets and answers just click on Periodic Table questionsHere’s a great power-point that also covers C8.4 Identification of ions and gases:

The periodic table and identification of ions from Carole Paquette

And here’s another great power-point:

Here are some key terms for this topic: Key Terms C9

C9.1 PERIODIC TRENDS

This is also a short Virtual School intro to the periodic table & Mendeleev – What is the Periodic Table?; part 1 of this Science Bank video is called ‘introducing the periodic table and this BBC Short Circuit Periodic Table is a 19m  video.

Why not try the Periodic Table time trial challenge? – it’s addictive.

A dynamic (wow!) periodic table is here and lots of other periodic table designs can be found at Science Notes.

Want to learn the first 10 elements? Try the Periodic Table song by Peter Weatherall. Or how about a lesson about every single element on the periodic table – created by the Periodic Videos team using the TED-Ed platform?

GROUP 1 – ALKALI METALS (C9.2 GROUP PROPERTIES)

Two short videos from The Virtual School What are groups in the periodic table? and the alkali metals.

A classic Open University clip about the (group I) alkali metals:

Brainiac carried out similar demonstrations – or were they faked? You decide.

Other videos featuring the alkali metals include part 1 of Science Bank 3: Patterns of Reactivity (to 4m 10s) and Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0, and a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz.

The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 1 elements (the alkali metals): lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium (potassium has the best reaction).

GROUP 7 – THE HALOGENS (C9.2 GROUP PROPERTIES)

Halogens and Noble gases from Arrehome

Videos featuring the halogens also include Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0, a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipzScience Bank 3 (Patterns of Reactivity): part 2 (from 4m 10s  to 8m 50s) and:

The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 7 elements (the halogens): fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

C9.3 TRANSITION ELEMENTS

Transition elements from Shah Fiza

Science Bank 18 (Patterns of Behaviour): part 3 covers the Transition Metals (from 9m 25s).

C9.4 NOBLE GASES

Videos featuring the noble gases also include this classic Open University clip and a 12m lesson from ChemistryKlipz: Chemistry of Groups 1, 7 & 0Science Bank 18 (Patterns of Behaviour): part 2 covers the Noble Gases (from 4m 40s to 9m 25s).

The Periodic Table of Videos present the group 0 or 8 elements (the noble gases): helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

C10 Metals (Combined Science)

Combined sci c10 syllabus from cartlidge

Metals from Carole Paquette

Here are some key terms for this topic: Key Terms C10

GCSE Bitesize has revision pages (that take you through the topic), a test and an activity – scroll down to ‘metals & their uses’. GCSE s-cool – Metals & the Reactivity Series – revision notes & animations, practise exam questions & a revision summary. For Doc Brown’s Chemistry quizzes, word-fills, crosswords and study notes go here and just scroll down. Skoool Chemistry – click on ‘3. Metals, Ores & Rocks’ for excellent lessons on Metals & the Extraction of Metals; also a glossary of key terms. Chemactive worksheets & answers just click on ‘Metals questions’. 

Two more powerpoints:

C19 metals and their reactivity from Chemrcwss

C10.1 PROPERTIES OF METALS

Two videos from TutorVista cover the physical properties of metals (5m) and the chemical properties (8m 15s). And this is a 1m video on malleability & ductility of metals.

Naked Science Scrapbook answers the question what is an Alloy? (6m 45s).

C10.2 REACTIVITY SERIES

Metal-Reactivities-Series

 

Science Bank 3 (Patterns of Reactivity): you just need part 3 (from 8m 50s) covering the reactivity series of metals, displacement & the thermite reaction:

Revision on the Reactivity Series from KS3 Bitesize.

IGCSE Chemistry, a 25m lesson from ChemistryKlipz covers metal reactivity (from 6m 20s to 11m), rusting (to 13m 50s) & displacement rcts (to 18m 30s).

C10.3 EXTRACTION OF METALS

The extraction of metals – an excellent 19m video:

Demo – heating copper oxide with carbon powder to extract copper (1m).

The Blast Furnace is covered in  Ore to Steel – HowStuffWorks: a quick 2 minute vid, The Blast Furnace a 1m53s vid from CORUS & here is an animation of a Victorian blast furnace. The RSC presents Iron & Steel – a 6m 37s vid going into more detail than you need for the exam but its worth watching.

GCSE s-cool – Extraction of Metals – revision notes & animations, practise exam questions & a revision summary

Not a bad little powerpoint (we don’t need the details on steel):
